After our last move, we decided that the days of us moving by ourself is over. Next time we will seek out help because packing, loading, unloading, and unpacking is too exhausting. Hiring professional movers would be an option if the move is business related and the company is paying for it. As I have yet to work for a company that pays moving expenses, I doubt professional movers will be an option.
Hire a Helper.com is a neat service that benefits both those moving and those workers looking for jobs. You can find day helpers like New York Movers from their website. Just fill in the information like when you need to hire someone to get a list of potential helpers with their rates. Sadly there isn’t anyone in my area signed up with them, but I can be notified when day workers are available.
Here is a breakdown of how the service works:
1. Find a helper to hire
2. The helper you requested will be in contact within 24 hours. If they can’t help you, then you can either choose someone else or cancel the job.
3. Once the helper completes the job, give the helper the authorization code that you received during checkout at Hire a Helper. This code will ensure they get paid, and you get the work done you need.
Hire a Helper launched in 2007 and already has over 1,000 day workers who have signed up with them from all fifty states. All major metropolitan areas are covered, so if you’re looking for Los Angeles Movers or even Chicago Movers, you can find the help you need. Also, each day worker that is hired can be rated by the customer. So if your are leery of hiring someone, then check day workers with good reviews.
Being a frequent mover, I can appreciate the Hire a Helper Learning Center that has articles on packing, gardening, organization, and more. They even have some articles about cleaning. Oh be still my heart!
There’s also a special offer for bloggers who need to hire a helper. Enter the code blogme to receive $10 off.
