Ideas will include babysitting, nannying, and housecleaning (and
others).
I'm looking for 1-2 people who have done any of those three
things (or are planning to do it this year) to weigh in on why
this kind of job works well as a way to pick up extra cash (and
help others) around the holidays. Thanks in advance!

extra holiday cash

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 30 October
Query:
From teachers to designers and customer service reps to office
managers, some employers are asking/requiring their employees to
head back to the workplace. Granted, in some environments,
workers are essential. But in others, the quality of work done
from home is similar to what's produced at the office. Now, some
employees being asked to go to their physical work locations are
pushing back. I'm looking for suggestions for employees who are
being asked to return to the workplace. Some of my questions
include: -What can employees do to continue working from home?
-When is it time for legal representation, both before you
return to work or get sick after returning? -What might be
behind a company's motivation to return to work during increased
COVID-19 numbers? How can employees combat that line of thought?
-What's a realistic timeline for returning? When should
employees feel comfortable going back? -If you refuse to
return, will your career suffer?
Requirements:
I'm looking for workplace and legal experts, public health
officials, career advisers, people who've been forced to go back
to the office and managers who can explain their side of the
return-to-work effort.
I am looking to interview 5-6 sources but also interested in
collecting the thoughts (in paragraph form that can be used as a
quote or in a collection of tips) of numerous experts for use in
the story or a series of sidebars, based on topic.
