Looking for extra money ideas? Bills are piling up with two kids to care for. I’ve tried Grubhub, Instacart, and DoorDash, but they’re all waitlisted near me. Spark Driver isn’t an option here either. I’m already selling what I can. Plus, I work a full-time job and put in at least five extra hours a week already!
 
hmm, not sure if this is even on ur radar, but babysitting could work? u can do it from home, on ur own time, and obvi set ur own rates ‍♀️ another idea: take a hobby or skill and make it a side hustle. like, if u have a cricut, u could sell custom stuff. or if ur a baking queen , u could bake for friends & fam (just check local rules about kitchens before going public tho).
 
I dabble in a little couponing, mostly to resell and save some cash for myself. I also love picking up things at auctions, giving them a good clean, and selling them on. Plus, I grow plants and sell those, too. Sure, it all eats up time and the profit isn't huge, but it's enough to cover a bill or two each month, which really helps!
 
I'd suggest finding ways to trim your spending. Maybe try cutting back on everything except what you really need for day to day life. If you have cable, consider dropping it, along with any subscriptions you can do without. It could also help to start cooking all your meals from scratch and planning them ahead of time.
 
I took a per diem job at our local nursing home. The base pay wasn't high, but holidays pay double time, and they count 11 holidays each year. I worked as many holidays as possible to make the most of it.

Bartending and waiting tables can also pay well, especially at wedding venues.
 
You're truly doing all you can, and that shows such genuine courage. Since apps like DoorDash aren't an option right now, perhaps something simple from home might bring a bit of relief like offering nearby help with babysitting, pet care, or tutoring, or even taking on small online tasks such as freelance admin work or selling printables. I know none of this solves everything quickly, but each small step truly matters and builds up over time.
