📖 The Hustle
Provide childcare at weddings so parents can enjoy the reception. Set up a kids' corner with coloring books, puzzles, and quiet games. Charge $25-35 per hour or a flat $200-300 for the event. Bring a helper if there are more than 4 kids. Wedding season runs spring through fall, and couples will pay well for this peace of mind.
🚀 First Step
Create a Thumbtack profile for wedding childcare and post in local wedding planning Facebook groups offering your services with photos of activity kits.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Bring a ready-to-go activity kit with coloring books, stickers, and quiet games
- Dress professionally — you are part of the wedding atmosphere
- Ask the couple for a dedicated kids' room or corner away from the dance floor
