Hi! I'm a college student looking for ways to make extra money to help pay for school. I'm punctual, dependable, and friendly and I enjoy running errands or taking care of plants and animals.
I am always on the go and I am great with directions! I have helped my grandmother over the years by running errands and helping around the house. I am a quick learner and willing to aid in any way I can.
I'm a very hard worker and not to mention responsible. I live my life by the Golden Rule. Let me help you.
Having done all of these errands for myself, I would definitely say I have experience! I put the same effort and care into other folk's errands as I would my own.
I am a college student and with online school, I find myself with lots of free time! I would love to help you out in any way you need. I can grocery shop for you, run errands, pick up/drop off anything, make appointments, make calls for you. I can basically be your personal assistant in any way you need/want!
