Help packing for moving TODAY SATURDAY THE 8th! AND TOMORROW MORNING SUNDAY THE 9th! see update: postponed to at least Sunday-Monday, we shall see.
(More Likely To Be Hired if You’ve Got a Truck, but I might need 1-2 non truck people too).
——
Ad edit / update:
In the sea of calls this afternoon (wow, bigger faster response than I expected!) my landlord also called. Turns out he postponed my move out date by 3 days to Wednesday the 12th at noon, without telling me until now, (which is mostly good, but I wish he had told me sooner, so I would have been less freaked out about moving out in a hurry this weekend!)
So now the ad has become less of an emergency. Feel free to still send in your applications, I still need to hire movers.
I haven’t decided which days I’ll be packing and moving yet. Likely I will move packing to Sunday, maybe Monday, we shall see. But it might be other days too.
Send me your messages with information so about you + your availability. Thank you awesome people!

(More Likely To Be Hired if You’ve Got a Truck, but I might need 1-2 non truck people too).
Hi, I’m physically disabled and need help packing and moving my stuff today and tomorrow, Saturday afternoon/evening and Sunday morning.
I thought I had people lined up to help me pack and move today, but it fell through, so now I need help on short notice. Yikes.
$200 for all the packing done today, Saturday. Sorry for the short notice. (Worst case scenario it might involve some packing early Sunday morning, if we cannot get it all done today. But the goal is to get it packed today. I have to be moved out by noon tomorrow, Sunday.)
It is literally just packing 2 rooms: my living room and bedroom. I don’t even have kitchen stuff to pack, it all belonged to my roommates, lol. (Other than some food.)
$100-$150 for moving the items tomorrow, Sunday. Must be done by noon.
It sounds silly, but basically I am so disabled that I cannot pack for myself, and for my physical safety I need to stay resting on the couch or bed rest, and give 2-4 people directions on where to pack my items. I can get up in short spurts if I need to, but nowhere near enough to pack.
And maybe sometimes I might send you on a run to the store to buy containers and tape and packing stuff (which I will pay for, of course) etc.
And light cleaning, the type that comes with packing (finding trash along the way, throwing out unwanted items when sorting, etc. by the way, please ask me before throwing stuff out that doesn’t clearly look like trash.)
The plan is to pack allllllllllll afternoon and evening today, Saturday the 8th, in the Broomfield/Westminster area, and then do the moving of the physical items on Sunday morning (the 9th, must be before noon) to my new home in Brighton. Or even more then this evening, if we get enough packing done fast enough.
There is only my living room and bedroom to pack. Not much furniture, mostly plastic drawers, plastic tubs of stuff, and a bunch of vitamins, herbs, supplements, (I was a health coach before medical malpractice during surgery ruined my health beyond what even natural medicine can recover. Grrrr. Now on disability.)
So there will not be much heavy items to lift. Only moderate items.
The furniture you’ll see when you come visit is rented furniture, it came with the place, so, the furniture is staying here for the landlord.
So yay, no super heavy items to be moved!
90% of the labor will be the packing.
——
Length of time? I don’t know the exact length of time.
Please view it like 2 gig jobs.
You get paid when each gig job is completed. And I view this like 2 jobs. 1 job packing, 1 job moving the items.
“First job $200 today for the packing gig job, you get paid once everything is packed”. ($200 per person)
I’m 80% sure we can get everything done today Saturday still, although this ad is being posted at 2:30pm, so it depends on interest.
I had planned to have help packing earlier but like I said, my help bailed last minute.
If packing by worst case scenario runs into tomorrow morning, for example if we both get tired earlier than I expect, or if that’s just how the day and evening rolls closed and you have to leave earlier than before the job is done, then it will involve packing on early Sunday morning as well. As I said, this is a gig job— payment happens when the gig is completed.
But I don’t anticipate it running into tomorrow; i would like to “go hard and crush it” and finish 100% of the packing today if possible. So like I’m picturing people here from 3:30pm or 4:00pm or 8 or 9pm or something for the packing? Maybe later if it happens to run later and we still have energy. Hopefully it doesn’t run late. If it runs really late or we get really tired though, we might have to finish packing early tomorrow morning. Not ideal, though. The goal is to be done packing today.
….
Second gig job: “$100-$150 tomorrow for the moving boxes to new location” aspect of the job. The $50 bonus is if you have a truck we can borrow. $25 bonus if you have a car we can borrow. + miles and gas reimbursement.($100-$150 per person)
I’m not quite sure how long the work will take.But definitely done by noon tomorrow and not starting before 7am, so, there is that.
Estimate:
First job, the packing job:
4 to 10 hours of time spent packing today (and worst case scenario some packing tomorrow. I highly doubt it will be 10 hours packing. That’s the worst case estimate, I’m guessing it’s more likely to be 6 to 8 hours. I’m just putting the disclaimer, just in case I’m wrong. Heck I could even be over estimating and maybe we will be done in 4 hours.)
For packing done mostly today. Hopefully we can get all the packing done today if possible, that is the goal. We can carry into tomorrow for packing if we must. As I said before, it is $200 for the first job, the packing job.
…
Second job, moving items to new location:
It should be much less work moving the items.
Probably $100-$150 for 3 to 6 hours of work tomorrow, Sunday. Because it’s just moving the packaged items.
Once everything is packed up, it’s as simple as putting it into the vehicles, and moving it to the new location in Brighton.
I’m not really sure how long it will take the second job to get done. It could happen way faster than I expect once we hit our flow state. Or it could go slower. We shall see. 3 hours? 6 hours?
…
Basically, this is 2 gig jobs.
$200 cash for getting “all the packing done”.
This job entails:
However long that takes, both today and the possibility of tomorrow.
I’m like 80% sure we can get it all done today, even in half a day or half a day + evening.
It is literally just packing 2 rooms: my living room and bedroom. I don’t even have kitchen stuff to pack, it all belonged to my roommates, lol.
Like maybe 3:30pm until 8:30pm? My brain works better in afternoons and evenings, personally, anyway.
And if you are seeing this ad after 3:30pm, feel free to still inquire about the 2 gig jobs anyway. :) maybe I didn’t find good help earlier or maybe I still need more people on my crew or something.
Second gig job:
And then tomorrow if you want: $100 for helping me move the boxes of stuff + $25 car rental or $50 truck rental + plus reimbursement for gas and miles if we use your car or truck. (Bonus interest in hiring you points if you have a truck, by the way.)
( But also, truck not required. bonus hiring points if you’re a good listener who can follow directions and be patient in packing, like I request.)
——
Requirements for job
1.) First and foremost, I need is someone who is ideally humble, who can follow directions and take orders. I don’t mean that in a rude or bossy way. I will be as polite and professional about it as possible.
However, realistically: I need people who are going to be good at being team players and who are good at taking specific orders today, because I want my packing to be done in a really specific manner.
I’m not trying to sound bossy or snobby.
But due to my medical problems, I need to have my belongings packed in a VERY SPECIFIC WAY, to minimize allergens. I have autoimmune problems that respond badly to allergens, and yet sadly some of my stuff is contaminated with allergens—and some is NOT.
So I don’t want items cross contaminated.
So I don’t want someone just lumping everything into boxes blindly together.
I need someone who can follow directions, while I am telling people which items go where. There might be times when you’re just chilling and waiting for directions — that’s fine, you still get paid, even for sitting there. I would rather have someone waiting for instructions on “how to pack it right” than “people rushing and I end up finding a bunch of my stuff damaged and packed wrong”
So, medically, I am forced to be picky about how my items are packed. So you need to be mentally ok following detailed directions and doing tedious packing.
It’s pretty mindless. Mostly putting stuff in baggies to help with storage dust and allergens and putting stuff in boxes grouped together mostly by location and by type / by “what I say goes packed together.” Etc.
There isn’t a ton of stuff; only 2 rooms of stuff. It’s just a little tedious.A bunch of little items. And you need to wait for directions if you aren’t sure what to do next.
But honestly it should be pretty easy overall.
I just need hands and feet outside of my own hands and feet, because my disabilities limit me so that I cannot stand up for long enough to pack hardly anything myself. Ugh, disabilities are annoying.
2 ) YOU MUST have your own vehicle or get your own reliable transportation asap to this job.Even if it’s a Lyft or Uber, but you must show up.
I prefer if you have your own vehicle.
And even more bonus points and I’m more likely to hire you, if you have a truck we can use. Or at minimum a car we can use to pack and move stuff in.
I will pay for use of your car/truck when I am using your car/truck, like during the time my stuff is in your car or if you’re running an errand (like grabbing more packing supplies) for me.
Oh and the location: you know the Butterfly Pavilion? (If not, google it). I live near there.
3.) YOU MUST show up relatively on time. I’m fine with a few minutes late. But anything majorly late, like anything past 20-30 minutes when we agreed upon, and the job will be given to another person. Because I need to get this packing job done TODAY.
4.) I require the people I hire to be comfortable being paid using the Zelle system. That is what I will use to pay my workers, and that is non-negotiable. I will only pay using that system.
It’s the bank to bank transfer system, like CashApp but within banks. If you haven’t used it before: Please check with your banking system before applying, to see if your bank accepts it. Usually it says so on their website or app (there’s literally a button for it on my banking app) or you could probably call them.
80% of banks use it these days, 95% of major banks use it, and it is safer and less scammy than apps like Venmo, cashapp, etc.
5.) Background check:
I require you to have an up to date driver’s license and decently safe driving record. And no felony criminal record. And I require you to be comfortable with a background check being run on you, which I will run.
If you want to take this job, after we have talked for a bit and if we both agree it’s a good fit, then I’ll ask you to please send me a picture of your driver’s license so I can run it through a quick background checker website. You can even watch me delete the message containing the picture off my phone when we are done. I promise I will not keep your info.
It checks for felony convictions and checks driving records. I don’t care about a few understandable small traffic tickets here and there over the years (I’ve had a couple myself.)
I only care about massive problems like: DUI’s, wrong way driving on the road running from the police, etc. And I care about other criminal convictions for felonies, like: domestic violence, assault, robbery, etc. (Since obviously you’re going to be inside my home, touching my stuff, helping me pack, etc.)
Also, if it’s drug related felony, or non-violent, i actually don’t care about that, because F the police and F the system about that.
That’s more of a medical problem and mental health problem, and people shouldn’t be going to jail over drugs, the prison system is messed up.
If you have a copy of a recently run background check on yourself, then bonus points and you can forward it to me, and you’ll be at the top of my list for candidates.
PS. A note for people who might think it’s funny to rob or hurt a disabled person: I do have pepper spray, and good neighbors who I let know that I’m having people over, and they will come check on me and who listen closely, plus I have my dad coming by to help check on me during the packing + after I tell him people I hire are on the way, so he can make sure I hired good people. Plus a photo of your driver’s license is required for this job, as I said above.)
——
If you have a truck or car we can use:
1. I require you to own the car and to provide proof of ownership (photo of registration or let me at least look at the registration to see your name or your spouse’s name with similar last name on it). I will not allow use of a borrowed friend’s truck or car. (Because that’s a recipe for disaster.)
2. I require you to have a current driver’s license.
3. I require you to have current car insurance.
I will pay an extra $50 for use of truck or $25 for car for help carrying stuff + pay for miles on truck or car + gas there and back, so I would guess about $50 total, but that’s just a guesstimate. (We can use a miles payment calculator website or app.)
(Brighton is sorta near DIA, so, it’s not super far, but not super close either. Just a heads up. It’s about a 30 minute drive from my current place to the new place.)
The plan is to pack today, and to move the items to the new location tomorrow morning (on Sunday), and be done before noon on Sunday.
You don’t have to be available for hire both days, but I would really prefer it if you were.
Call or text me, my name is Ann. But seriously, I prefer texts.
My number will be at the top of the ad when you click contact info.
And I will not be checking email. Any replies sent to email will be missed.
