You’re a woman with size 13 feet?! Where on earth do you find shoes! I’m a size 9 and it’s flipping hard work!

I used to have a domestic cleaning round charging £15 an hour, average clean was two hours. Customers told their friends and I built a decent round locally. I cleaned the houses to fit in with school drop offs and pick ups. The customers were lovely and my earnings were decent.

Takeaway deliveries

I had four jobs at one point after DH left and I had to keep a roof over the kids heads.

So yeah, additional job, wfh if childcare is an issue.

Have you cut your outgoings back as much as you can?

Best thing is a second job. Tesco delivery driver or similar, there are shifts to fit whenever you're currently not working.

People can claim easy money from odd places, but paid employment is usually best and most reliable!

I work in a pub a few hours a week, brings in just over £200.

Does dog walking pay?

But to the OP's point - babysitting? If you did it every weekend you could make a couple of hundred or so.

Second job

Or side hustle, but don't expect to make loads consistently and they do take lots of your time up:
Survery sites
Product testing
Matched betting and online gaming
Gaming for cash like Mistplay

What do you do for work currently? Can you turn that into something freelance on the side in addition?

An additional job
