Summer income, what do you think?

March 26th, 2011 at 10:48 am

I'm a teacher so I don't work in the summers. I'm considering this year advertising a drop in "camp" for a child or two. Not designed for every day, but for days when a parent has an appointment or just needs a break. The idea is that the child comes hangs out with my kids and me during the day while we do campy kinds of things- go to the pool, local attractions, crafts, etc. Nothing extreme like water parks, but not a day of sitting watching t.v., either.
What do you think, as parents, would this be an interesting idea?

    I think it's a great way to make money for the summer. I'm a teacher too!

    I think it is an excellent idea! I think your flyer or advertisement should include specific days of camp, just so you can plan for those days. Maybe each day has a theme, so the child knows what to expect, or so that it seems worth the money.

    I think it sounds fantastic. Make sure you get emergency contact info & health info on the kids. I could see a lot of parents wanting to take advantage of this service.

    Your idea sounds like a great help to parents! The teachers at our schools tutor over the summer and make a boatload, all under the table. They will go to your house, or work out of the town library.

    Thanks for all of the advice, everyone! As I'm thinking more about it I can focus on certain days of the week so I can plan around those dates as well.

    I think it sounds like a very interesting idea, offering some insurance of additional income for you, as well as an option for frazzled or busy parents during the summer months. I hope that it leads to a successful enterprise for you this summer! Great idea.
