I’m a stay-at-home mum & make £4k a month with my side hustle – I work 10 hours a week so have loads of time with my son
A STAY-AT-HOME mother has shared how she rakes in cash, leaving many open-mouthed.
According to Melissa Jean, she can make over £3,000 in a month, by looking after people’s dogs – yes, you heard that correctly.
The pregnant mother explained that she will look after people’s pooches when they are on holiday, or whilst they are working.
Melissa claimed that with this simple side hustle, you’ll only need to work a few hours a day, with barely any work involved.
Opening up about her side hustle on social media, Melissa shared a clip with the caption ‘The side hustle I do as a stay-at-home mum and how you can do it too!”
She then said: “I’m making an extra $4,000 [£3,156] dollars in the month of June as a pregnant stay-at-home mum with my side hustle, and this is how easy it is.
“A lot of people are travelling in June, it’s statistically a very high travel month, especially for families, so what you’re going to do is watch their dog.
“All you need is to watch a dog for 15 days out of the month, charge $100 [£78.92] a day, stop by their house four times a day – let the dog out, feed them, take care of them, give them love, everything you need to do.
“And that’s $1,500 [£1,184] just from working two hours a day, for 15 days.”
Not only this, but Melissa explained that you can also do this for those working full-time, as she added: “The other thing that you can do is the people that aren’t travelling but they work long hours, they need someone to drop by their house to let their dog out throughout the day.
“I do this and I stop by people’s houses, I go into their [garden], hang out with their dog for 30 minutes and I charge $25 [£20] a visit.
“If you find five families to do that for and do that five days a week, that’s an extra $125 [£99] a day, which is $625 [£494] dollars a week.
“Now for the dog sitting you’re making an extra $1,500 [£1,184] this month and for the drop-in visits you’re making an extra $2,500 [£1,973] a month, equally an extra $4,000 [£3,156] a month just working less than five hours a day – between probably two to four and a half hours a day.”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @mamamelissajean, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 15,200 views.
Social media users were impressed with Melissa’s side hustle and many took to the comments to express this.
One person said: “Definitely a good hustle.”
Another added: “Sounds great!”
A third commented: “I started doing it a couple months ago and was like wow more people need to do this!”
At the same time, another parent shared: “I also do this as a SAHM and it’s great!”
