I work online...it isn't exactly around the neighborhood, but it is around :) I'm a freelance writer. Here's basically a breakdown of what I do. I wrote this a long time ago to explain what I do because a lot of people ask:

If you like to write and you want to make some money at home, this could be a unique and fitting solution. It's paid my bills for the last year :)
Beyond that, it's the summer. No one wants to mow anymore. See if you can do that or clean people's pools out. Have fun,
The best thing to do is look around you, ex. if you see a lot of dogs be a dog walker. Or do the dirty work no one else wants to do. for instance,take weeds out of garden clean windows,etc. so many possibilities.
Well, it really depends on where you live. If we don't know what's there, we can't help you. The best idea would be to go around to quite a few stores and drop off applications for jobs.
Dog walking would be the easiest as you could take a couple of dogs at a time. News paper delivery and weeding gardens are also good ideas.
I mean my neighborhood. Lol. My bad.
