When seniors decide to move to senior communities we go in and help them downsize and pack the stuff they want to move to their new residence. Then we go back in and haul away trash and old furniture and donate anything that could be reused and we make sure they get the donation receipts for their taxes.

Sometimes we get difficult clients like the guy I mentioned, a snobby rich person who thinks they know everything and are bossy and the best seniors who are grateful for our service and happy after we pack them and unpack in their new homes. The pay is good and sometimes the seniors give us tips. This past week I had a two day job where I packed a lady’s stuff she wanted to take ( usually more kitchen stuff or massive book collections) the physical movers come and transported the furniture and boxes we packed of their items and we unpack them at their new residences. I got $100 tip! And one lady I worked with a week before that was a snob, had more stuff then she needed to move and was very difficult gave me a massive $20 tip ! As we’re unpacking we usually know the stuff we put away will never be used again! But I get they need their stuff !
