Odd Jobs You Can Do While Sitting

A list of things you can get paid to watch.

My first job - ever - was babysitting.

I was a freshman in high-school and a neighbor paid me $12 an hour (in cash) to watch her two kids on Friday nights.

I played Candy Land with them for an hour and then they went to sleep.

I ate everything in the pantry, watched TV, and splashed water on my face when I heard the garage open (because I didn’t want them to know that I had fallen asleep on the couch).

The job was easy, and back then, the money was good.

You don’t need a degree to be good at “sitting”, which is defined as:

A person who takes care of someone or something in the place of a parent, owner, etc.

You just need a decent set of skills, a little credibility / experience, and the desire to want a job that might require you to do very little except sit.

Skills of a great sitter:

-They are responsible

-Great at being patient

-Very aware of their surroundings

-Excellent at communication

-Understand how to problem solve

-Know what to do in an emergency

If you check the boxes on these things - great. A new career might await you.

1. Home Sitting

   I always thought the concept of paying someone to watch your house when you go away was a bit odd. BUT it’s a well-paying gig (around $37/day) and requires you to watch over a person’s house, water some plants, and make sure there aren’t any robberies.

2. Pet Sitting

   This isn’t so odd but it’s a needed job and perfect for a person who wants to make cash while watching an animal. Sure, watching a cat or dog can feel like hard work but what about watching someone’s pet spider? There are all different types of pets out there and people will pay you $2,000 a month.

3. Farm Sitting

   Recently, so many people have started small backyard flocks of chickens to larger farms but what do these people do when they need a break and want to get away?
