TaskRabbit Puts Smiles on Faces

These hard workers are referred to as taskers or TaskRabbits. They use mobile devices to track down work and perform odd jobs – and they are willing to do just about anything. Armed with a smartphone and the necessary tools to do the job, a TaskRabbit may spend the day cleaning homes, picking up dog waste, moving furniture, running errands, delivering groceries, waiting in line, hanging shelves, mounting televisions, assisting professionals, doing yard work, cooking dinner, tending bar, waiting tables, folding t-shirts, or even pulling pranks. It’s a pretty cool job where anything goes.

Leah Busque founded TaskRabbit in 2008. It was the perfect business to start when the economy was having trouble because it benefits everyone. Students, job seekers, retirees, stay at home moms, and everyone else was able to capitalize on their skills during the economic downturn. Now it’s a fun and flexible way to make living.

With TaskRabbit help is only just a few clicks away. It’s a convenient and hassle free way to get things ticked off of your to do list. This cash free business operates on the neighbors helping neighbors philosophy. By employing reliable, local help, TaskRabbit helps to build a thriving and helpful community. Plus, it saves consumers time and lots of headaches.

Here’s how it works: Consumers log onto TaskRabbit and list the tasks that they need to have completed and the location. Pre-screened TaskRabbits bid on the task. The consumer can review the TaskRabbit’s photos, reviews, prices, and skill sets. Then they pick the best fit for the job. Any additional details and coordination are conducted through the app.
