My Side Hustles
Life has different stages we must go through. Some are good, some not so good, but they all teach us valuable lessons for the journey ahead.
I’ve done these side hustles before to help meet my needs. These are worth considering, especially if you’re a student looking for ways to make extra money on the side.
🧺 Nanny
One of the most exciting things I did while I was a student was being a nanny. I was a nanny for about 2 years. As a nanny, you take care of kids and help families with their chores, all while making extra money for yourself.
Exploring this opportunity as a side hustle is certainly worth your consideration because:
- Easy to Find: Nanny jobs are available in many places, even though the rules might differ from one country to another. Families often need help, and if you’re dependable, you’ll probably find a job.
- Flexible Schedule: Nanny jobs let you pick when you work, so you can fit it around your classes and study time. This makes it easier to do well in school while earning money.
- Kids Interaction: Being a nanny means you get to spend time with kids, which helps you become better at dealing with people. You learn how to be patient and understanding, skills that are useful in all parts of your life.
- Personal Growth: Nanny jobs help you grow as a person. You learn how to handle responsibilities, solve problems quickly, and do many things at once. These skills are important for your personal growth and future career.
💈 Barbering
I started my journey as a barber back in 2019. I taught myself how to cut hair practicing and watching youtube videos., while also handling my studies and other things.
Learning to be a barber can help you earn more money because people always need haircuts. As you get better and have regular customers, you might even think about starting your own barbershop or offering special services, which can bring in even more income.
You can do it too if you put your mind to it. Just remember, everything big starts small. Below is a picture of me giving a haircut to my friends in our school’s bathroom. Let that inspire you.
👨🏽🏫 Academic Tutoring
Learning and teaching others has always been important to me. When COVID pandemic hit, I decided to help students with math and science. Being a tutor means explaining things that are tough for them. This helps them do better in school.
This extra job helped me connect with young kids and families, and also gave me extra money while helping others do well in their studies. You can do the same. You could teach a skill or something new that could help others.

My Productivity Guide
A big reason people struggle is because they don’t plan well. Planning doesn’t mean controlling everything, but it’s about making smart choices for your life. When you don’t plan, you’re basically planning to mess up. So, plan with wisdom and allow God to establish your plans according to His will.
