Perhaps the babysitter isn't always available? Or maybe you work a full-time job and want to add a few shifts elsewhere? Or maybe you want to work when you feel like it and don't want to be bothered by a recruiter or administrative person asking for your availability weeks in advance and/or pressuring you to work on days that you were once available but on the day of, change your mind and don't want to work. Or the flip side of that is, the party plans changed and now you're available last minute. And most places ask for a minimum amount of shifts as a requirement that you don't want to commit to. What's the best way to work when this is you?
