Don't automatically dismiss the idea of babysitting just because you're in college. Babysitters make good money (usually between $10-$15/hour, but sometimes even $20/hour), and there are tons of different hours you can work, depending on what age of kids you babysit. Plus, there's the opportunity to get some of your school work done during downtime.

University employees, including professors and administrative staff, usually favor college students when choosing a babysitter, so if you like working with kids, keep your eye out for babysitting positions near your college.

How to Land the Job: Check with your career office or student employment office or search online for babysitting jobs.
