Got any side hustles or extra jobs you do?

As well as being a social media manager, I'm also a part-time swimming teacher. 
When I took redundancy from ITV, around the same time I became a single parent, my side hustle then was as a freelance voiceover, but that's a very up and down business and I couldn't rely on it paying a regular enough wage, so swimming teaching became my fallback and meant I could be around for my kids in their school holidays without the worry of having to take time off work. I'd been swimming competitively since I was 8 and practically grew up in a pool so when I needed a job that worked with my family commitments, previous experience + passion = win, win. 
I've been teaching a few hours at a local swim school now for 14 years. I've worn out about 56 swimming costumes, seen many babies and toddler swimmers grow into lovely young people and subsequently leave for deeper depths and too many people in my local town have seen me in a swimming costume.😝 But I couldn't keep being a part-time swimming teacher for the rest of my life. It wasn't challenging or creative enough for me and I had a wealth of background experience in scheduling and running TV channels that I knew could be put to better use. So I turned to social media. And once again, previous experience + a new passion = win, win. 
And this is what I do today. I'm a social media manager, helping to optimise and run the social media channels for businesses & entrepreneurs in order to grow their business.

And if lockdown ever ends, I might well be a part-time swimming teacher again. So what's your side hustle or extra job? I'd love to know. (N.B. pic is of my daughter, not a swim school child I teach).
