[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you imagining that there’s a group of people out there who want to commute to and from someone’s house at the last minute for an hour’s pay?

I get why this would be nice for you, but how does it work from the employee’s end? [/quote]

+1 Strange how people don't consider time and expense of commuting[/quote]

+2 Maybe you could find a neighbor who wants to do this, but I doubt a qualified professional would find this attractive. Even for childcare, it’s not attractive to do a 2 hr stint and it’s harder to find someone good to do elder care. [/quote]

Your neighbor can go weed someone's garden and make $70 an hour advertising on one of these online setups or can run errands or go wait on line for someone for $30 an hour. Very few people want to do eldercare unless you make it very easy and offer plenty of downtime. 1-2 hour a day gigs usually pay very well and make it worth it. For eldercare, even if you only expect 2 hours of actual work (making meal, giving meds, going for walk) you should hire for 4 hours so it's worth the drive unless you want to offer premium pay.[/quote]
