Typically, when you start working, you're going to be given the jobs that (a) are easy to train and (b) nobody wants to do. That means you're going to have to show up in person. If there are any restaurants in walking distance, you could ask them if they need a dishwasher and if they would be willing to pay under the table.
I will tell you, nobody on the internet will be able to give you a solution that perfectly suits your preferences. The structure of the economy is that unskilled workers have to adapt to fit into the slots that are available to be filled. That means going places you don't want to go, doing work you don't want to do, and earning a lot less money than you'd like. Only the kids of the rich start off with jobs they like.
