Language Skills
Are you proficient in a particular language? There are many students or eager learners that would pay native speakers for language or conversation classes. You could charge per hour or entice students with 'bring a friend and get the first lesson free' type promotions. It's a fun way to meet people new people and gain new skills- but more importantly to make some money :).
Waiter/ess
I work as a casual waitress at my local reception centre, and found this job on My Career. The work isn't constant, and it depends on the time of year but at least it's an extra income. You could even try your local cafe or restaurant. Even dropping in your updated resume and speaking to the manager might get your foot in the door. Make up a list of all the local cafe and restaurants and visit them one morning. I wouldn't advise visiting them in the early afternoon as that's their peak time and management wouldn't be able to give you the attention to speak about vacancies.
Driver
Driver
Do you have some spare time in the mornings? Afternoons? Perhaps you can request your services as a driver to your extended family or friends. Drop off/collect children to and from school or collect your Nana's friends at the local shopping centre (and help out with the groceries of course!). At times, public transport can be unreliable and who wants to wait out in the rain for a bus?
Assignment Helper
You are academically gifted? Have expertise in a particular subject? Students may be tired down with part time work, family commitments or too many assignments due at once. You may offer your assistance to help write their assignments. You could gather up a small team of mates to help you. Just a small tip...make sure your material is original!
Tour Groups
Start up a small tour group of something that interest you and charge a fee to the participants. Such examples may include- Op Shop Tours, Ghost Hunting Tours, Chocolate Hotspot tours...the possibilities are endless.
Cleaner
Too often and not parents with children can struggle to get ahead with the daily household chores, especially the cleaning! Why not offer your services as a cleaner? You can charge up to $25 per hour. You can also specialise in a a particular area of cleaning such as: moving out cleaning, exit cleaning, vacate cleaning, end of lease cleaning or moving in cleaning.
Babysitting
Ask friends or family members if they know anyone who needs a regular or weekend babysitter or you could join an agency if you have previous experience in this field. You should first check the requirements in your state of what documents are required from you to undertake this type of work. Completing a 'Police Check' will often give parents 'peace of mind'. It costs approx $32. For more information see Police Check.
