Business Insider’s deputy editor of lifestyle and entertainment freelance writers is seeking pitches for Village for Hire series:

“Do you pay for a service that helps you optimize your life, or offer these services to others? Have you set up unique arrangements that make your life or your family's life easier?

I'm looking for more stories like these for my Village for Hire series on Business Insider!

- For years, I paid someone $150 a month to batch-cook meals for my busy family of 4

- We pay $17 an hour for someone to tackle our household to-do list — from meal prep to laundry — while we're at work

- My friends pay me to watch their kids alongside my own. It's a fulfilling way to make $400 a week as a stay-at-home mom.

- I turned 'body doubling' into a side hustle. Sometimes, I'm just watching someone fold their laundry or send texts.”

Rates for these usually begin at $240 for around 600 words. For details, refer to their deputy editor’s post and pitch form.
