A new thought I had today that goes along with the babysitting idea.  I'm assuming from your initial post that you have a degree or at least a good amount of college for that amount.  One place to look into temporary employment is the school districts.  Up here someone only has to hav 60 credits of college to get on the subsitute list.  Local schools here pay around $80 per day.  May not be the best work but it's work.  to go with that though is often times there is a day care substitute list somewhere that people can utilize as well that you could get you name on.
