Christmas is a season of happiness and fun. It can also be a time to make money doing simple jobs.
Many older women I know in my neighborhood do different kinds of simple and no-stress Christmas jobs to earn money to shop for the holidays, pay their bills, and even plan financially ahead of the coming year.
Are you an older woman in the United States, Canada, or Europe, looking for easy Christmas jobs to do and make money from home?
This guide is for you. I shared with you 7 Christmas jobs you can do as an older woman and make extra money this holiday season.
These jobs aren’t stressful; they don’t require a degree or even special skills.
1. Take Surveys With Your Phone or Computer
This is one of the simple jobs older women in the United States can do to make money during Christmas.
A lot of companies in the United States send surveys to Americans to understand how they are preparing for the holiday season.
You can respond to these surveys on legit Survey sites like Surveyjunkie and earn $50 per survey.
For example, I make $103 weekly responding to surveys on Surveyjunkie.
I can even make more during Christmas because there would be more surveys to respond to.
The process is simple:

Start taking surveys immediately to earn points, which you can redeem as PayPal cash or even gift cards, which you can use to shop for groceries and other items this holiday.
2. Do Remote Jobs
Remote jobs pay more during Christmas as companies and businesses look for people who can help them deliver services to their customers.
Virtual assistance jobs are in high demand during holidays because of the high volume of orders businesses get online.
As an older woman, you can become a virtual assistant helping businesses deliver orders to customers.
This job pays up to $50 per hour. Platforms like Side Hustle connect you to companies and businesses that pay for more virtual assistance services.

3. Holiday Tour Guide
During Christmas, a lot of tourists from around the world visit the United States for the holidays and vacation. These tourists need a tour guide to take them around the places they want to visit. You can contact hotels around you and see if they can link you with tourists in their hotels looking for tour guides. This is a lucrative job that can pay up to $200 per trip. Some tourists are even happy to give you tips.
4. House or Pet Sitter
Many families in the United States, especially immigrants, travel to their home countries for Christmas. They usually need someone to look after their homes and pets till they come back.
Last year, when my neighbors in New York travelled to India to see their family, they hired a retired teacher as a house and pet sitter for the 2 weeks they were away to look after their home and 2 dogs.
They paid her $20 per hour and also tipped her when they returned to the United States.
Some families in rich neighborhoods pay as high as $50 per hour to house and pet sitters.
This is a simple Christmas job you can do as an older woman and make extra money.
5. Event Decorating Assistant
During Christmas, people host a lot of events, and they always need people to help them decorate their venue.
If you are an older woman who loves decoration and does it very well, this is a lucrative job that can make you good money.
Keep a tab on upcoming holiday season events in your neighborhood and ask the organizers if they would need someone to decorate their venue.
You can earn up to $40 per hour doing this. Some decorating assistants even charge per project, which pays more.
6. Gift Wrapper
We all know how people exchange gifts during Christmas. These gifts need to be wrapped, and stores that sell them always need helping hands, especially during Christmas, to meet the demand for gifts.
Check the nearest gift store in your locality and ask them if they need a gift wrapper. You can do this kind of job at home, and even at elderly homes, and still make money.
7. Santa’s Helper & Photo Assistant
During Christmas, there are a lot of Christmas activities for kids in the United States where they meet Santa, take photos, and collect gifts.
If you love kids and organizing parties for them, you can work as a Santa helper or photo assistant at malls, helping kids during Santa photo sessions.
Last year, my friend’s grandma, who worked as a Santa’s helper, earned $60 per hour doing this for the whole of December.
And that’s it with Christmas Jobs for older women in the United States that pay well.
Take your time to check them all and see which suits you most.
As for me, taking surveys on Surveyjunkie and signing up for Remote Jobs on Side Hustle are the best. You work from home at your convenience.
