Local Jobs for High School & College Students

Looking for local jobs that actually fit a school schedule? Biddy Jobs connects high school and college students in Broward and Palm Beach County with neighbors who need everyday help — yard work, pet sitting, tech help, moving assistance, and more. No resume, no interview, no fixed shifts. Just tasks near you, on your own time.

Why Biddy Jobs works for students

• You set your own schedule — bid on tasks around classes, practice, or a part-time job. No manager assigning shifts.
• Everything is hyperlocal — tasks are posted by neighbors nearby, so you’re not commuting across the county for a few hours of work.
• No experience required to start — most tasks (yard work, pet sitting, moving help) just need reliability and a good attitude.
• You build a real track record — every completed task earns a rating, so your reputation grows the more you work.
• Get paid securely — payments are held in escrow and released once the task is confirmed done, so you’re never chasing someone for cash.

Tasks that are a great fit for student earners

• Yard work and lawn care — mowing, weeding, and cleanup jobs neighbors need done regularly
• Pet sitting and dog walking — flexible, short visits that fit between classes
• Tech help — setting up a new phone, TV, or smart device for a neighbor who’d rather not figure it out alone
• Moving help — loading boxes, assembling furniture, extra hands on move-in day
• Tutoring and homework help — younger students often need help in subjects you just finished yourself
• Event setup and takedown — parties, graduations, and backyard gatherings need extra hands for a few hours

Safety is not an afterthought — it’s the foundation

We built Biddy Jobs to be a platform parents feel genuinely good about, not just okay with. Here’s what that means in practice:

• Parent or guardian consent is required. Earners age 16 or 17 cannot create an account without a parent or guardian signing off as part of sign-up — no exceptions.
• Every user is verified, no exceptions. Earners and posters alike go through our account verification process before they can bid on or post a single task. Nobody interacts anonymously on Biddy Jobs.
• Every task builds a visible track record. Ratings and reviews are permanent and public on every profile, for both posters and earners — accountability goes both directions.
• Payments are never handled in cash or off-platform. Funds are held securely and only released once a task is confirmed complete, so a teen earner is never chasing someone down for payment.
• Support is there if something goes wrong. Our team is available to step in on disputes, and funds in escrow stay put until a situation is resolved fairly.
