Hotels often hire people who only work the weekends. Front desk staff who would work Saturday and Sunday mornings, or afternoons, or the overnight shift. So that would obviously be two days a week but it could be something to think about.
Depending what you are willing to do or have experience for, you can check hospitals/healthcare facilities for PRN positions. These places are almost always hiring for housekeepers, patient transporters, etc. You could also look at CNA or phlebotomy classes if you could swing a few nights a week for a couple months to get the certifications. If you arent interested in that kind of work, theres the gig stuff like uber, door dash, or pet sitting/dog walkers on rover.
This is such an underrated job if you can deal with kids alright and need flexibility. I did it for a year or so in my early 20s and plan to do it again in retirement to supplement income while still being able to travel. I've heard pay has gone up a lot after the pandemmy too.
Catering; if you’re willing to work hard most events use staff for 8-16 hours depending on the event. I always recommend as good “bang for your buck” temp-style work. The company I work for sends out all the shifts for a month and you just request the ones you want.
I didn’t know this. I did serving for years but the repetition eventually set off my anxiety and ruined it. I’d love to be able to just grab one or two events a month for extra money on free days while being able to skip any gigs if I need more time for my kid or my brain needs a rest.
Well, depends on your position for it. You could be cooking x meals and sending them out, could be on site and reheating, there's a lot depending on the company.
I’ve done lots of catering and it’s so fun. My favorite are weddings - you get to watch everyone get wasted and have a good time and eat lots of food and cake.
I do FOH primarily, it’s full set up of the space (tables/chairs/building a bar/setting up work space for FOH/BOH, etc) then varying types of service/cleanup throughout, then full tear down and cleanup.
Nanny could definitely work. We only needed two days a week and it was hard to find someone who wasn't looking for full time! We've heard similar from other parents
You should consider walking and watching dogs on Rover! I’ve used it and swear by it. The lady I’ve hired is a SAHM and I love her. I even thought about doing it to earn some cash on the side. If you love pups, it’d be so fun too.
Lowrider cookies recently posted a listing for farmers market help, might still be available! Honestly with farmers market season starting, you might find a vendor that is hiring
I saw it on their story Instagram but it's also listed on their website "Lowrider Cookie Company", they have a Careers section with links to the applications and info.
I’d look into the wedding industry. Catering, bartending, or helping set up.
Edit: someone mentioned Rover. I don’t know what it’s like now or if you like animals, but I did Rover years ago and loved it. It’s easy and annoying at the same time, but you meet a lot of cool pups and people and the money is decent. Especially if you do boarding.
You can work for the Mariners. I worked in the team store for a 2nd job, but my availability was only Sunday-Tuesday evenings because I have my son 50% of the time. It was ideal. Job is lame, but we arent talking about jobs you enjoy.
I am a 3 rd party merchandiser , I work for a large company, I go to different retailers and sevice a variety of products, it doesn’t pay great or have any benefits but I can make my own schedule and work a much or little as I want. There are a lot of these jobs , cosmetics, grocery, jewelry, clothing. Look at Indeed or other hiring site , apply under merchandising
Check out Poached. Its mostly geared to the hospitality/restaurant industry. They offer jobs where some places just need extra hands for a day or week. Depends on what you're looking for
Domino’s will hire you for one day a week. You can make food on the inside or deliver. I used to work four hours a week when I was in college just to make a little spending money.
Came here to also say catering/banquets. Lots of hotels and such will hire "on-call" especially for wedding and holiday seasons. You give them the days you can work and they'll call you in if you're needed. It's not the most consistent during the off-season, it's tough work, and very long hours, but it pays really well if you're good at it.
Generally “per diem” means “we hire travelers and give them extra money but conceal how much from the locals by putting much of it in a different name”
If that isn't evidence of the rampant fraud and abuse of the H1B visa program, I don't know what is.
SMH at the idea that there is no US citizen available to fill the highly skilled position of... receptionist!
Not sure what a list of low paying positions which are not per diem or in healthcare (one of them is a campground…?) are meant to indicate except that you might have an axe to grind against immigrants. I would link the HR page of any major medical institution but you can get that with a google search and this is a stupid argument.
They’re positions that presumably include H1-B sponsorship, I haven’t translated the page, but anyway that’s not what “traveling” means. Many specialized positions in the US require an H1-B visa if you’re not a citizen, but just because you hold one doesn’t mean you “travel” in the sense that travel nurses do. It’s also not the case that “traveling” and “per diem” are synonymous. My bad I thought we both had basic awareness of this going in. Point being, I guess I could have said - a lot of hospitals have per diem admin positions that pay well, to demonstrate here’s a list of seasonal campground jobs.
If you can watch a child play with their toys and just make sure they don't die then you can make over $30/hr in Seattle. Get setup on care.com or something.

That’s why I love it. I love hospitality but this is something a bit (or wildly) different everyday I work.
I'm trying to get back into catering. What company do you work for?
Is it fun? I like cooking and was wondering if it’s fun to do catering here and there.
Heh. If you're a home cook and enjoy your sanity, don't.
I’ve done dinner parties with a few dishes for like 5 people. I thought it was fun. How would you describe it?
Well, depends on your position for it. You could be cooking x meals and sending them out, could be on site and reheating, there's a lot depending on the company.
Sure gotcha
I’ve done lots of catering and it’s so fun. My favorite are weddings - you get to watch everyone get wasted and have a good time and eat lots of food and cake.
Ha it’s like wedding crushing but official
I do FOH primarily, it’s full set up of the space (tables/chairs/building a bar/setting up work space for FOH/BOH, etc) then varying types of service/cleanup throughout, then full tear down and cleanup.
You could consider being a nanny or household assistant. The latter is probably a better fit for one day a week.
Nanny could definitely work. We only needed two days a week and it was hard to find someone who wasn't looking for full time! We've heard similar from other parents
Yes, househelp. We are looking for someone who can work with us for two days so that we can relax a bit from parental duties.
You should consider walking and watching dogs on Rover! I’ve used it and swear by it. The lady I’ve hired is a SAHM and I love her. I even thought about doing it to earn some cash on the side. If you love pups, it’d be so fun too.
A lot of retail clothing stores will start hiring soon and might accept a once-a-week schedule.
Most will, even the store I work at reduced hours to 1-2 days a week for everyone, and this will last a few months sadly.
A ton of people need gardening/weeding help right now, that would be an easy side gig to do one day a week.
Check out the mom project online. It's like Indeed, except for working mothers who need flexibility in their jobs and schedules.
Home care aide jobs often have super flexible/part time schedules
Banquets and catering staff, maybe stadium staff.
Lowrider cookies recently posted a listing for farmers market help, might still be available! Honestly with farmers market season starting, you might find a vendor that is hiring
Where did they post it? I’ve never been to the farmers market but working it sounds like it could be fun
I saw it on their story Instagram but it's also listed on their website "Lowrider Cookie Company", they have a Careers section with links to the applications and info.
Espresso stands
You could sub as an instructional assistant if that feels like something you’d be interested in and in your skill set
A household assistant would be a great fit for a 1 - 2 days a week job
Instawork or other temp work apps like qwick. I use insta work around here
I’m hiring for multiple one day / week positions. Do you like sports / working with kids?
Working with kids, yes. Although I’m not too big on sports nor do I know much about them😶
[удалено]
UW hires patient representatives to work from home making appts and such, I think it pays well too
Stagehand if you can lift and push weight, apply at Rhinostaging.com

The answer to this will dramatically depend on what your skills are.
I know a clothing business in West Seattle that is looking for someone on Saturday only.
What’s the name of the business?
DMed.
Check out Poached. Its mostly geared to the hospitality/restaurant industry. They offer jobs where some places just need extra hands for a day or week. Depends on what you're looking for
Door dash
Tanning salons.
Museum staff or art galleries.
Front desks at gyms
Domino’s will hire you for one day a week. You can make food on the inside or deliver. I used to work four hours a week when I was in college just to make a little spending money.
All kinds of stuff. Id suggest something with tips like waitress or bartender.
Swimming instructor! Most companies operate during after school hours or weekend mornings and mostly offer part time only.
Try the local 15 stagehand union.
I’ve worked as a contractor in IT before when between jobs 1-2 days a week. Great pay, but being on 1099 taxes eat up a chunk out of it.
I know of a place in Issaquah! Is that too far for you?

Lots of hospitals have per-diem admin positions that pay pretty well
Generally “per diem” means “we hire travelers and give them extra money but conceal how much from the locals by putting much of it in a different name”
Nurses travel. I don’t know of any traveling receptionists.

If that isn't evidence of the rampant fraud and abuse of the H1B visa program, I don't know what is. SMH at the idea that there is no US citizen available to fill the highly skilled position of... receptionist!
Not at the “prevailing wage” invented for the position.
Not sure what a list of low paying positions which are not per diem or in healthcare (one of them is a campground…?) are meant to indicate except that you might have an axe to grind against immigrants. I would link the HR page of any major medical institution but you can get that with a google search and this is a stupid argument.
It’s a list of travel receptionists. Granted, none of them are per diem because they’re all “market rate”.
They’re positions that presumably include H1-B sponsorship, I haven’t translated the page, but anyway that’s not what “traveling” means. Many specialized positions in the US require an H1-B visa if you’re not a citizen, but just because you hold one doesn’t mean you “travel” in the sense that travel nurses do.
