Sometimes, 54-year-old-former-receptionist-turned-Airtasker, Jianitsa D., wishes she had a webcam in her car.<\/p>\n

She meets all kinds of colourful people on her Airtasker trips to the airport. <\/span>One of Jianitsa\u2019s passengers was a down-on-his-luck hip-hop artist from the US, who had been homeless in Bondi for six months.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was such a colourful character… he really appreciated all the friends he had made and the hospitality he received Downunder,\u201d<\/em> she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

He told Jianitsa he had flown to Australia to make a name for himself, but ran out of money and wound up on the street.<\/span><\/p>\n

A woman from <\/span>Glenmore Park took him in. A few months later, the same woman posted a task on Airtasker, for Jianitsa to take him to the airport, so he could get home to New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jianitsa joined Airtasker<\/a> after losing her job as a receptionist at a real estate agency. S<\/span>he needed some flexibility in her\u00a0world, as<\/span>\u00a0she likes to be there\u00a0for her grandchildren.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Guildford grandmother loves how she can get a job in any place, at any time, and says Airtasker gives her that autonomy.\u00a0<\/span>Once, she was waiting to pick up a friend at\u00a0Sydney Airport, when she\u00a0had a quick\u00a0scroll through the app. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jianitsa found a task posted by a Queensland man who had left his suit jacket behind.\u00a0<\/span>She found the jacket in lost property\u00a0and mailed it to Queensland for some quick,\u00a0easy cash.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to get some money just by hanging around at the airport waiting for my friend,\u201d<\/em> she says.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
