Pay: $14.17 per hour Babysitting is a great opportunity for college students. Often, parents are looking for someone to take care of their children after they get home from school and are able to work with college students’ flexible schedules. An additional plus to working as a babysitter is that there is no schooling required, and as a nighttime sitter, you would likely be able to spend the majority of your time working on homework while the children are sleeping.
If you’re looking to start working as a babysitter or nanny in your town, a great place to start is posting on Facebook that you’re interested and passing out pamphlets at stores and neighborhoods nearby.
