For Teachers, the summer months, although a great vacation, can also be the perfect time to make some extra money and reduce that growing credit-card debt.

What are the options for a Teacher to make money during the summer? Normally a teacher is looking for a short-term business that can end when summer does. Here are some business ideas for you.

1. Tutoring.
I know it sounds obvious, but tutoring can bring in decent cash. You already have the connections through school, so marketing your tutoring business (and building a customer base) can be fairly easy – especially if you let parents know during the school year that you offer summer tutoring.

2. Babysitting
If you enjoy working with young children, you can work a few hours each week babysitting. Your hourly pay will be less than you’d get tutoring, but you can still make a respectable $10 an hour babysitting if you have the right clients. As a mom, I know how hard it is to find trustworthy adult babysitters, so you’d easily be able to get regular sitting jobs.

3. Summer Camp
Host a summer camp at a local park or even at your own home. Schedule a week-long camp, and plan activities. Parents will enjoy the break from their kids, especially knowing the kids will be well taken care of and they’ll be having a great time.

4. Online Auctions
Take the opportunity to list all your extra treasures (ie. junk) on eBay or other auction sites. You’ll clean out your home of junk as well as bring in some extra money. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can even list other people’s items and take a commission for the effort.

5. Vacation Helper
Many families go on vacation during the summer. They need reliable house sitters and pet sitters during that time. You can get paid for something as simple as watering plants, getting the mail and feeding a pet. You’d be providing a very valuable service with little effort on your part.

These are just a few of the many ways for you to make some extra money during your summer break. The important thing is that it does not take a large amount of cash to start your own business. You can start with just word of mouth and take it from there.
