We know the only industry that's consistently adding jobs is healthcare, so it makes sense that jobs are open at Healthcare Parking Systems, which is the only company in the US devoted specifically to running the valet parking service at hospitals and medical facilities. They do this in 200 cities across the country, many of which are staffed 24/7, and they estimate the need for nearly 1,000 new parking attendants right now. In addition to a clean driving record and other key requirements, they say parking is 20 percent of the job, but the rest is guest services.
Pay: Minimum wage to $15 an hour, plus tips, depending on location and experience.
4) Senior Companions Senior Helpers is just one company on a nationwide hunt for 450 part-time companion caregivers to serve its 195 franchises. Caregivers provide in-home companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation and general assistance to elderly clients. Caregiving training is provided and all companions must have a valid driver's license, current car insurance and a clean driving record. Also check Home Instead and Sunrise Senior Living.
Pay: $10 an hour and up based on location and experience.
5) Pet SittersIf you prefer pets over people, Fetch Pet Care says it will hire 1,500 part-time professional pet sitters in 37 states in the next six weeks to provide services including private dog walks, doggie day care, boarding, yard cleanup, pet taxi and dog fitness. Sitters, who must be over 21, determine the number of hours worked because they have the flexibility to accept only the assignments they are available for and comfortable taking. Some sitters work only a few hours a week; others more than 160 hours a month. Also check Sitter City and Care.
Pay: Fetch pays its sitters half the amount billed to the client. For example, a private walk averages $20, doggie day care is $30 to $50 a day, a pet bath is $10 to $20-and as the service provider, you take half.
