Drop-off for Swimming Lessons 4-5 Weekdays

I am looking for someone to take my daughter to swimming lessons for the next four weeks. The lessons are at Widener University and they take place on M/T/W/Th at 4:30pm. So the task would be to pick her up from Swarthmore-Rutledge School at about 4 and drive her to Widener’s pool for 4:30. We can pick her up after the end of the lesson, so you would be free to come back to Swarthmore right after drop-off. So essentially it’s a one-hour job, for which you’d be paid $25. If you can only do some days but not others, that’s fine too – any help is better than no help! Please get in touch asap, since the lessons start on Monday 13th.

Dog Walking $$ 2-3 blocks from campus

Hi! We have a wonderful 8 year old golden retriever and we’re looking for a few dog lovers who are interested in an occasional walk for extra cash, starting in mid-May. We live about 2-3 blocks from campus.

My wife and I both work in healthcare and our schedules are all over the place so there is no regular walk schedule, but we know our needs at least a few weeks in advance (with an occasional last minute ask). We need about 5-15 walks a month, with a range of times but mostly morning and early afternoon.

Walks are usually abouut 20 min of actual walking time (she has arthritis so we try to limit it to that) . You would be more than welcome to study/watch TV at our house before/during/after anytime with a dog likely cuddled next to you…sometimes a toddler/nanny will be around as well but we would let you know.

We are looking for a few people to have on our short list since we know your schedules vary. We do need walks during the summer too so if you are around that is a major plus, but please still contact us even if you aren’t and we can keep you on the list.

Happy to answer any questions. Thank you for considering!
Andrew, Laura, and Winnie
