Online jobs that could fit around caring responsibilities and interruptions

I've been a SAHM and carer for an elderly relative for 10 years now. Before that I was doing language tutoring, but this difficult now as relative's needs are higher and
require me to be available unexpectedly.

I'm thinking of jobs that I could do online- proof-reading? Data entry? Suggestions much appreciated.

Has the relative had a social services review to ensure they are getting the right benefits/carers/support etc they can?

A work colleague does proof reading as part of their main job but also as a side line. He did several courses though. He used to work as a medical monitor in a research company which was also cross checking documents. He proof reads lots of uni work, but I imagine AI might be affecting that now.

I've never used this company, but someone on MN recommended them a while back:

Thank you, that's very helpful and useful to know. I have some experience in the medical field so proof-reading medical documents would be ideal.

It’s seasonal only, but you might consider marking GCSE and/or A Level exam papers?

Dictate Now is a transcription service for lawyers and doctors. You are paid by the amount you transcribe. Worth a look.
