Does anyone have any advice about companies that will hire a teen worker for Sundays only? My dd made less lifeguarding $$ this summer than usual due to the funky economy, so she needs a part-time job, but due to dance and pom (and school), Sunday is really the only day she is available to work. She has been applying at lots of places, but most see her one-day availability and think she's nuts to even apply... |

The only thing I can thing of is baby sitting... well unless she picks up some odd jobs from neighbors or whatever. |

I think just about any fast food restaurant would be willing to hire someone to work one day a week. With the holidays approaching there will also be a lot of seasonal hiring done at retail stores too. |

Could she work for the local community centre / indoor pool doing swimming lessons or lifeguarding? They might be OK with Sundays only.
My sister owns an indoor playground and I know she is busiest on weekends so a place like that might hire someone to work Sundays only - any place that has the main business being kids birthday parties. |

The winter holidays will create some temporary "Jingle Bells" jobs. Some stores might be willing to have a Sunday only person. The other thing that comes to mind is a Mother's Helper, now called Au Pair.

Totally agree with the idea of applying for a job at a place that has birthday parties. Bowling alleys, indoor pools, gymnastic gyms, ice rinks, indoor soccer arenas, bounce places, ALL have hostesses that help with birthday parties.
Went to a bowling party last sun-the hostess was great, she was in charge of taking the kid's food orders, bringing it to us, cleaning up, bringing the goody bags.
Restaurants sometimes hire for Sun only-especially if they have brunch.
Try dept stores too-they would hire her as a floater or a "ringer" in cosmetics or fragrances. She would be the cashier so the sales people can actually sell products to customers. |

Thanks, those are some great ideas! We do have a place called Pump It Up near us, which has giant inflatable play areas for birthday parties. I'm sending her over there, and I'm hoping that the fact that she has first aid and CPR for the professional rescuer might give her an edge (although hopefully she'd never have a reason to use it there...) |

Would a local church use her for extended session childcare or special Sunday night or afternoon events?

My dd works in the food service industry (fast food).
They're very accomodating with her schedule.
Might be worth her checking out? |
