People say I have ‘no respect’ for myself because of my side hustle but I couldn’t care less – it rakes me in £7K a week
A FULL-TIME nurse has revealed how she earns up to £7,835 a week with a sauce side hustle.
Like a lot of people, Amber Katherine spent a lot of time thinking up new ways to earn extra cash amid the cost of living crisis.
And deliberations led the 23-year-old to one solution: become a topless maid.
She started the gig in 2023 after her cleaning business failed, and now charges a whopping £155-an-hour for her saucy services.
According to Amber, she couldn't compete with the competitive pricing of other cleaners so wanted to introduce something different to her service that would entice punters.
The extra cash has enabled her to pay for her nursing school bills and made her financially secure for the future.

"I get the typical response from insecure people who spew hate behind a screen saying that I need to 'respect' myself," Amber, from Boston, US, says.
"But I'm living my life how I want."
She refuses to let backlash stop her from raking in handsome cash from feather dusting surfaces in the buff.
Amber currently balances her time studying and working long night shifts on the weekends as a nurse with being a topless cleaner.
"I decided to change things up to be unique," she recalls.
"I did see the idea from another person which was in the back of my head until everything seemed to fall into place.
"Typically I receive a message either through email, text or on the business site.
"I usually ask where people are located as that is a factor in the price. I do travel but for long distances it is more expensive."
And to keep things Gucci, Amber collects payment before getting her kit off and cleaning.
"My security person will either stay in the car outside or come in depending on the home if multi lock access is needed," she adds.
"I have had ones that will hire me to clean and then go off and continue their day as if I'm not there.
"I've had clients have me clean when they are not home.
"Typically, I am cleaning and chatting with the clients throughout the cleaning.
"Usually they find a spot in a room and sit or stand and chat with me about anything and everything.
"My favourite clients to clean for are the ones who have me clean for just a small portion of the time and then we get to just order food and do crafts together or redo the interior design of the home.
"As much as I am a maid many people hire me to act as a companion to spend time with which I love too.
"I feel that it is important to be transparent online."
Amber classes what she does as a form of "sex work" but wants to "stress the importance of transparency" in her industry.

"Hiding it can show a form of embarrassment which may mean that this job would need to be re-thought if you are subconsciously ashamed," she says.
"I do also stress the importance that this job is not a forever job when posting but it is a good stepping stone for some people."
