Question senior lives in small town no taxi service  
errands would be  
-grocery shopping  
-hair apptments  
doc apptments  
pick up meds  
pick up mail  
maybe trips into bigger towns/city  
now this errands would not be a everyday errand would you charge by the errand ?  
example hair apptment take them there drop off pick up in 2 hours take back home takes 10 minutes to & from. what would you charge ?

I have a soft spot for seniors. I love hearing their stories.  
I would do it for perogies, or pie or something that they do as a hobby. (Knitting, etc.)  
 
Work out a deal that makes sense for all.

There’s too many factors to count, and each individual requires more needs. Are they just driving them to the grocery store then coming back in an hour to get them? Are they going into the store and helping them shop? When I worked for a company that was specifically for things like this I was paid by hour and kilometre on my vehicle. My fav gal was paying the company about $50 to have someone drive her to the grocery store, drop her off and come back in an hour and bring her home. We ended up cutting out the middle man, id grab us coffee culture, go get groceries in the store together, and then she would cook me dinner. I’d take $10-$20 for these trips.. and it was only because she’d FORCE ME lol.

I know this is 5 days after the initial discussion but I have been giving this a lot of thought and am going to seriously consider this. After going through both my Mom and Dads' time as a senior and all that entails, I would love to create a service in order to make life easier and simpler for many. Thanks for starting this discussion.  
I guess I should say that if you know of someone in need of a lending hand, please direct message me.
