📖 The Hustle
Pick kids up from school, walk them home, give them a snack, and help with homework until parents get off work. This is a 2-3 hour daily gig that parents desperately need. Charge $18-25 per hour. With two families in the same school, you can earn $100+ per weekday afternoon with a consistent schedule.
🚀 First Step
Post on Nextdoor and your local school district's parent Facebook group offering after-school pickup and homework supervision starting at $18/hour.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Pick two kids from the same school to save travel time and earn more
- Create a simple homework tracker sheet that parents can review each evening
- Get on the school's approved pickup list before your first day
