Opportunity for someone (tech-y) living near rittenhouse doing hourly work to help older individuals with (very) basic tech needs.
I recently moved out of center city, but I had built a word of mouth network of retired/elderly individuals that need help with very basic tech things. I charged 40$ an hour for house calls primarily in Academy House at 1420 Locust. I got to meet a lot of lovely people with amazing stories. Usually one of the two-three hours is just spent chatting about my life or theirs, and they love it.
I consider myself tech savvy but I have no formal education in tech.
Some of my duties included
* setting up TVs, printers, fixing TVs, printers.
* Calling xfinity to trouble shoot TV
* education about using phones, how to send pictures via message, etc
* I've accompanied people to the Apple store and saved them hundreds of dollars from sales people trying to get them to buy things they don't need
I've moved north but I am still gettings texts/calls from people needing help with very basic things. Great little side gig for anyone looking for some extra change.
