Taking on a Second Job

United States
February 10, 2016 7:26am CST
Ran into my cousin recently who runs her own cleaning/errand business. She acquired an elderly lady who needs someone to run errands for her and maybe tidy up her home. As she is unable to take on extra people, she offered the job to me! The money is good and I can do it on my day off from work. Hoping it will turn into more hours as we really need the extra income at this time. I'll start this Friday. We shall see how it turns out.

It's only a couple of hours but it will give me gas money!

@AbbyGreenhill No, it only takes about 15 minutes to get to the lady's home. When I am in town I will do my own shopping and go visit my mother as well.

Sounds like a pretty good gig. I could use somebody to run errands for me as I'm too busy at my regular job to be able to get anything done around the house!

There are so many elderly people that need extra help in our area. I am hoping to pick up more than one.

I do it already in my current job, but get paid a lot less.

Very often a few hours do turn in to much more. Best of luck with it.

I am hoping for a few more hours, but anything to start out with would be good.

A little extra income is always good. In addition to my other jobs, I occasinally sub at my frind's preschool. I enjoy it, and wind up with a little extra cash in my bank account.

I am considering doing a substitute workshop so I can do subbing at our local schools.

That is good. You sure will have enough exercise and a bit more cash from this extra job alone. I think sooner or later, you will turn this extra job into full time cleaning business.

My cousin said it could work into something full-time. Not certain I want to do it full-time, but we shall see.

That sounds the sort of job I would like. It can be hard for older folk to get the help they want. Hope it works out for you.

I basically do the same kind of work for my employer. However, I don't get paid as much as I will be paid for the second job.
