I'm a reliable, strong and fit Martinborough resident with lots of time on my hands. I'm looking for any kind of causal work in the Wairarapa. Any kind of odd jobs would suit, whether it's a couple of hours or a couple of weeks that you need someone, maybe I could help. I'm a former lawyer so can even help you draft documents or do 'admin' type tasks if required, but I'd be more than happy weeding your garden or mowing your lawn too. Get in touch if you need a hand, no job will be too small :)
