I make up to $9K a month on Taskrabbit. Many of my clients are people going through breakups and need help organizing their homes.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Vanessa Garcia, a 29-year-old who works as a Taskrabbit in Los Angeles, California. It has been edited for length and clarity.

But going into someone's home and helping them with organizational tasks is a really intimate thing and I try to be really friendly and open. That can lead to them telling me about the catalyst to my arrival. I've had people say, oh, I just got broken up with, or I'm ending a years-long marriage.A home is a reflection of your mental and emotional state and if someone has been totally rocked by a break-up, their space tends to be really messy and sometimes even dirty.

Going through something like a breakup is hard enough emotionally without a stranger coming into your space. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible and to feel that I've really provided a service for them. Sometimes it goes too well — like the client who asked me out on a date after I helped her organize post-breakup.
