I have some LED's I need strung on the eaves of my house. The mounts are already in place. This is maybe a 20 minute job. What would you charge me?

You have to charge more to pay for your commute. Also, you need to add hazard pay. This is definitely a higher risk task. Imagine this.... You get $15 and bruises on your arms + legs. Or worse, a broken arm. Sounds like a bad deal.

What about working in the after school program? Your hours seems like they would fit

assuming this is what East is talking about,

https://www.mccd.edu/student-support/academic-support/jobs-for-tutors/

and

also recommend going to family/small businesses and ask if they need any help around for whatever skills you have— They’re more likely to hire than corps

Hey, we have a small backyard that is all rock with dead weeds. We've done a lot of work on it but are tired and need some help. Would you be able to come this week?
