1. Babysitting
$20-$25/Hour
Similarly like the tutoring job, babysitting job can also be done everywhere, but it is more likely that you will find a family in New York, rather than in any other smaller city in the world. So, use that benefit, and start from your own neighborhood, since people there already know you and can trust you. You may start from babysitting a couple of hours per a day, but then you can stay overnight on specific occasions, once the baby accepts you and gets used to spending its time with you. This can also create some unbreakable bonds and experiences you will remember for the rest of your life, and this job definitely deserves to be on the top of the list of high paying part time jobs for high school students in NYC.
