2166, "Errand runner" , "Gopher", - what do you think of this biz idea? Posted by lilly4, Thu Mar-06-08 03:01 AM
Hi ~ I am a stay-home mom of two children, and while they are both in full time school now, I need to make some money during the day while they are gone. Here is my biz idea, please let me know what you think:
I would place an ad in our community paper and in local retirement/apartment complexes for the elderly, offering services that I like to think of as a "gopher". I would do things such as: pick up prescriptions or groceries for elderly people who may not have many family members close by to do it for them; pick up school assignments for a sick child at home or bring the child home from school or to a sitter's; check on a pet and give it food or water; bring in the mail or newspaper for someone who is out of town - things like that.
What do you think of this? Please give me your feedback - and what, if any, would be the "legal" issues with it?
Thanks so much! :-)
