Will Run Errands And Do Odd Jobs.

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.
