For parents who hate to give birthday parties.

If you like parties and think you can give them, this would be a good business to start with like-minded friends. If you do a good job, chances are you'll be rehired the next year and be asked by other parents who have heard about your success to come to their house to give parties for their children. Plan well, stay within the budget you agree on with the parents, and follow through. Get to the party house in time to decorate and prepare, and clean up when you're through.
