How to use this skillset for short-term income?

Is there any easy way to use an IB Assoc/VP level skill-set as a contractor to get money short term?

Have worked in IB until recently and am dealing with family medical challenges and now in a position where I can't go for a typical job but I have a lot of hours free and am hoping 5-7 years at bulge brackets means there's some way to make money that doesn't involve dropping off burritos.

Tutoring or interview prep comes to mind, but that's somewhat boring and the 'case study help' services are effectively just paying you to have some kid cheat on his PE interview which I don't feel great about.

Is there some sort of freelance market for people who spent a chunk of their 20's doing 80 hours a week in excel and know how to build a model? Or is that wishful thinking
