Hello, I'm looking to make additional income. Anything that helps people out is typically what I'm all about. When it comes to errands and odd jobs, I guess that would depend on what errands and odd jobs need to be done. I don't mind going to the store and shopping, walking dogs, doing the laundry or cleaning the house.
