Looking for a Work From Home Job to do along side my Part Time Day Job

Thanks for your suggestions, most welcome.

I do the odd bit of overtime at work 3-6 hrs a month but that's just if someone else can't do it so not guaranteed hours.

I tried the private cleaning a few years ago and got one lady who I cleaned for but then that stopped and never got anymore customers. I'm not really wanting to do anymore cleaning, the evening cleaning is enough for me as its quite hard work.

The dog walking is not for me, I don't like dogs, but cat feeding is something to consider, will look into that.

The AgeUK home help jobs, I did apply for one, but never got it, think it's because I don't drive, most of the care jobs and home helps want drivers round here.

Are you physically able to increase your cleaning hours? Well recommended cleaners round here have wait lists and can pick n chose their clients!

Sign up with a care agency, or check out age concern regarding home help jobs in your area, maybe?
Age concern workers don't do any personal care, just helping out with household things, shopping, and such like.

Pet care, dog walking, cat feeding etc.

Get on your bike , people are crying out for private cleaners in my area ! It seems to be a problem getting someone reliable and keen . Pop a wee cheerful ad in a shop window and you'll be inundated with replies !

I'm sure there are sites you can register on as a p.a, typing things up for people and so on.
I'll go and have a look.

OldMeg - At present I'm working as a cleaner, but have a Admin/Typing background and have worked for a charity and also done some voluntary work in school and for AgeUK in the past.

I am fit and well but don't drive but bike a lot to and from work and shopping.

What are you good at and what experience or qualifications do you have?

Are you fit and well?

Tell us a bit more about yourself and I’m sure there’ll be lots of appropriate suggestions.

I work part time only 14 hours a week and I'm struggling financially. Despite searching for another job or more hours for the last 5 years I have found nothing, does not help that I don't drive and live in quite a small town and not many jobs about.

I have been researching work from home jobs and found some but when I apply I don't seem to hear back or no vacancies or based in US.

Any one any ideas or know of jobs that can be done from home, or even ideas for something I could do alongside my part time job.

Thanks
