Good part time job for a teacher during the summer?

...and I kinda don't want to deal with kids or food.

I am thinking of cleaning houses....

Any other suggestions?

I was going to say tutoring, but that is often kids, or you could try tutoring college folk..not quite kids, and might make you glad to get back to the younger set in fall

I'm thinking of PT at Kohls- I know what you mean about NO KIDS! (27 days left 'til school's out

)

Go to craigslist and look. My wife has found a couple things on there. She stays home, but wanted some sanity. She actually hooks people up at a sleep lab 2 nights a week for 4 hours each night. There was no "special" training or degree. It is just taking vitals and then you hook the people up to the monitor. They trained her on it.

I here it can be very profitable and if you enjoy it, i'd go for it. I would make up some fliers with a perky picture of you in cleaning clothes and put them in mail boxes, in nice housing additions. Might be fun.

My friend is a school teacher, and he runs a landscaping business during the summer months.

That is really cool...I bet it is really lucrative, too!

I do article writing and rewriting from home, part time, after my day job. It's all online, mainly easy writing, should be really easy for a teacher. I make about $25 an hour, and there's pretty much enough to do full time or part time as I am able.

I don't know if it's appropriate to post here, but I also wrote an ebook about it (which I sell), people can PM me off line if they want info, I don't want to spam the list since I'm brand new.

House painting, garage clean outs, house and/or dog sitting, errand running, pick up dog waste from yards, Hallmark card store, grocery store.

Invent some game or teaching tool teachers could use during the school year and sell.

Sell craft items or fresh vegetables.

I think your cleaning idea is excellent!!

Don't put them in mail boxes. That is illegal-federal offense since that avoids paying postage. Some post offices are real sticklers about it. I had a college friend that got into HUGE trouble trying to get some odd jobs that way one summer.
