I clean for my 92-year-old neighbor every week. I make $35 an hour — and we've become unlikely friends.

I've had a few cleaning gigs over the year, but this one feels the most special for a few reasons. Skylar Hunyadi A few months ago, my 92-year-old neighbor's family began paying me to clean her home each week. Cleaning helps me decompress, get movement in, and feel useful, plus I make $35 an hour. I've also become friends with my neighbor and enjoy spending time with her after I'm done cleaning. I'm a woman of many hats, one of which is a side-gig connoisseur . My friends and family joke that I'm always doing some random hustle that I wasn't doing the week before. As gigs go, I've done the pet-sitting, dog-walking, and child-care of your typical college student. As I've gotten older, I've stumbled upon more unique arrangements.
