I think this is a great idea!

Jobs for mature women that want to work or need a little extra income.

I remember this one particular idea coming up in an article in the SF Chron a couple of years ago. Older ladies were matched with young teens that didn't have a grandmother around. They taught them how to cook, especially holiday dishes, and formed a loving bond with "their kids."

"...a new Los Angeles-based employment agency is offering what some are calling the career opportunity of a lifetime -- a chance to get paid to essentially be a child's grandmother."
