Hi Chomas! Did you know you can hustle and make extra cash while getting skills during the school holidays? Instead of just chilling at home and being bored, there are so many cool ways to stack up some coins. Whether you’re saving for something, trying to grow your bank balance or need some pocket money. here’s some fun ways to do that.
Tutoring
If you’re a pro at a certain subject, why not tutor those younger than you? Use that big brain of yours to secure the bag! You can tutor locally or even jump on a WhatsApp call or create a Facebook link. Plus, it helps you stay sharp with the stuff you’re teaching. Start by advertising to your neighbours, at school, or online. Throw in a free first session to get students hooked.
Babysitting
Okay, if you’re patient and love kids, babysitting is for you! So many parents are busy with work and need someone dependable to take care of their little ones. It’s not just about earning money; it’ll help you level up on empathy and responsibility too. Before you dive in, it’s best to get a First Aid or childcare course – they’re easy to find online. Start by spreading the word among your family, friends, or neighbours.
Pet-sitting or Dog-walking
If you’re all about animals, why not become a pet sitter or dog walker? People are always looking for someone to take care of their pets while they’re away or at work. You could hit up pet owners in your hood or use social media to advertise. Just be dependable and show the pets some love – you’ll have repeat clients in no time.
Crafting
If you’re creative and good with your hands, why not turn that talent into coins? Whether it’s jewellery, art, or clothes, you can sell your handmade stuff. Get started by deciding what you want to make, find cost-effective materials, and create your collection. Then, hype it up on social media or at events for some extra reach!
Part-time Jobs
Apply for part-time gigs at restaurants, cafes, or shops. They’re always looking for extra help during the holidays. It’s a steady way to earn some cash and you’ll pick up valuable customer service experience. Put together a simple CV, even if you don’t have much experience yet, and drop it off at local spots or apply online.
So, Chomas, don’t waste those school holidays. There’s cash to be made and experiences to be gained. Get it! 💸🎉
