Depending on your level of education you could register as a substitute teacher or apply to be a teaching assistant in a school district.
I have suggested this one before... place an add on Craig's List to be a personal assistant of sorts. When we needed help we looked there to find someone to clean, do laundry, start dinner and maybe run some errands. The last being the hardest to find someone for. We pay our housekeeper $20/hour to clean, wash & fold and start dinner on the two days she's at the house. She does this for two other families and yes, we all pay her cash "off the books". When it all adds-up she makes $500-$600 per week.
You could also take the Civil Service exam and start applying for clerical positions!
