Make a difference working as a caregiver this summer
Tampa Bay is a beautiful city on the west coast of Florida, and it’s quickly growing! As the city expands and people move in, the competition for summer jobs is heating up. Below are a few tips and ideas to help give you and edge on your summer job search.
1. Papa Pal
Papa is an on-demand service for seniors in need of a little help around the house and doing errands, getting around, preparing meals – or just in search of some companionship. Papa Pals get the luxury of flexible hours and no long-term commitments making it a perfect summer gig. Even greater than that, Papa offers people a chance to impact the lives of the elderly and make a positive difference.
Tampa Bay is a quickly growing city. As the city gets denser, getting around gets harder, and more adults and families need support. Papa is always on the lookout for motivated and caring people to join the team, and applying is easy. If you want to feel good about your summer gig check out our website and apply here.
2. Tutoring and test preparation
You might not have classes to worry about during summer vacation, but not everyone is so lucky. If you’re a current student or recent graduate, your skills could be in high demand. Summer is a popular time for those seeking extra help in school or for SAT/ACT preparation.
There are plenty of companies in the test-prep and tutoring business looking for competent young adults to help bolster their staff, even if only for the summer season. Orlando has a massive student population, so there is a steady stream of demand. If you have a particular class or just a knack for knowledge, then see what type of opportunities may be out there for you! If there aren’t any companies hiring, then you can always consider going solo and looking for your own “clients”.
3. Internships
Internships are no longer simply unpaid assistant positions serving coffee and setting appointments for executives. Internships in the modern work-world are commonly paid and focused on providing tangible experience that can serve you in the future. The best part is that you can work in a field specific to your interests.
Are you into real estate? Intern at a brokerage or development firm. Have a creative side? I’m sure you can find an opportunity in an art studio, museum, or maybe with a local art program. Let your interest be your guide and make some calls or check online for summer intern positions.
4. Babysitting
Just because its summer doesn’t mean the kids are always off at camp. Parents need some time to themselves year-round. Babysitters are highly sought after, so you may have to do some extra digging to find good opportunities. Try looking for apps and websites that consolidate babysitters and help place them locally.
Babysitting is typically a cash business and if you can find consistent work you’ll make yourself plenty of summer funds!
Well, there you have it! Don’t waste your whole summer laying by the pool or watching Netflix. Take advantage of the time off and go make some extra cash.
