The LA &amp; OC area is one of Taskrabbit\u2019s most prominent metros, with an amazing group of Taskers and customers who often touch each other\u2019s lives in unexpected ways.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We chatted with some of our Taskers who have great tasking memories in this area, and what we found was an underlying consistent theme: Not only do LA &amp; OC tasks come with the possibility of glitz and glamor, but they can also lead to the types of human connections that make Taskrabbit great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-coblocks-dynamic-separator is-style-line\" style=\"height:50px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An LA &amp; OC Move\u2014Toward Friendship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Brandon-B-edited.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14569\" width=\"166\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Brandon-B-edited.jpeg 430w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Brandon-B-edited-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Brandon-B-edited-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Tasker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/profile\/brandon-b--144\">Brandon B.<\/a>, tasking in LA &amp; OC is special for a number of reasons. Not only has he been given the opportunity to meet very successful people who have amazing stories to share, but he\u2019s also made strong, lasting connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His most memorable connection? A full-service moving task for a customer named CeeCee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUpon arrival, I was met by CeeCee and her son, who was halfway out the door,\u201d Brandon tells us. \u201cAfter her son left, CeeCee teared up and clearly wasn\u2019t in a good mood. I started helping her in every way I could, because I could tell she was stressed. We quickly made a game plan together and got to work. After we talked her situation through, she began to realize her situation was better than it seemed. We made an amazing team and finished her move successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CeeCee was so grateful that she proceeded to shower Brandon with a great tip and a few items she no longer had space for\u2014including an awesome memorabilia photo of Tom Brady.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that wasn\u2019t all. CeeCee even included Brandon in her holiday card a few months later, because he was now \u201cpart of the family.\u201d CeeCee has since become Brandon\u2019s new \u201cmom\u201d away from home, and they eat Sunday dinners and watch football games whenever they can.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCeeCee has impacted my life in so many ways,\u201d Brandon says. \u201cShe has made me realize that any connection\u2014big or small\u2014can lead to an amazing thing! I now know that if I continue to keep all the doors open in my life, I\u2019ll continue to be amazed by the people who walk through.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can hire Brandon for moving help (and a number of other tasks) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/profile\/brandon-b--144\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-coblocks-dynamic-separator is-style-line\" style=\"height:50px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tasking in Topanga Canyon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Jalonie-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14570\" width=\"166\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Jalonie-edited.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Jalonie-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Jalonie-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Jalonie-edited-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tasker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/profile\/jalonie-k\">Jalonie K.<\/a> had never quite vibed with rigid schedules, and when a Taskrabbit user he was working for suggested he become a Tasker, it was a match made in sunny SoCal heaven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy first meaningful Taskrabbit experience was when I went to task for someone in Topanga Canyon,\u201d Jalonie tells us. \u201cShe and her daughter were so nice\u2014they even fed me, and I really enjoyed their attitude, along with the amazing views!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another time, Jalonie tasked for a comedian in Hollywood who rode in a wheelchair. \u201cHe was a true gentleman and made great\u2014and hilarious\u2014conversation,\u201d Jalonie says. \u201cBut the coolest task was one in Burbank, at the home of a well-known TikTok influencer. Everyone there was so cool to be around and work with!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What Jalonie loves most about tasking, however, are the ongoing human interactions. \u201cWhen I connect with a client, I enjoy being able to work with them, often on an ongoing basis. Sometimes, it doesn\u2019t even feel like work. And with Taskrabbit, it always feels as if clients are hiring <em>me<\/em>. It\u2019s a great feeling to be chosen.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jalonie is now using his Taskrabbit experience with furniture assembly to further his long-term goal of becoming an upholsterer. You can hire him <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/profile\/jalonie-k\">here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-coblocks-dynamic-separator is-style-line\" style=\"height:50px\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Ocean View&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MVIMG_20190119_152303145-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14573\" width=\"166\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MVIMG_20190119_152303145-edited.jpg 933w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MVIMG_20190119_152303145-edited-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MVIMG_20190119_152303145-edited-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/MVIMG_20190119_152303145-edited-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 166px) 100vw, 166px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tasker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/profile\/hollyann-b\">Hollyann B.<\/a> loves seeing the ocean, and quite frequently, her LA &amp; OC tasks come with amazing views of the Pacific\u2014and genuine personal connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a rule, Hollyann never hesitates to go above and beyond in helping her customers. When this occurred with her customer JoAnne, however, it turned into an ongoing connection\u2014and multiple new business referrals for both of them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDuring our first task, I recommended an IKEA Hemnes daybed for JoAnne\u2019s guest room,\u201d Hollyann says. \u201cShe bought it and then invited me back to assemble it. During the second task, she asked me about a space in her loft, and I suggested the Alex desk. She bought it and again hired me to assemble it. This pattern continued with a few small vanity pieces, and ultimately, she asked if she could share my Tasker information in a resource directory she maintained with her friends.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JoAnne has sent at least three referrals Hollyann\u2019s way, and Hollyann has even referred JoAnne to service providers for other projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building a business on Taskrabbit has been great for Hollyann, because it has allowed her to be available for her ten-year-old child before and after school. \u201cI quit my nine-hour day job and now only task on Taskrabbit. And the best part? I make twice as much per hour as I did at my previous full-time job.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That sounds like another win-win for LA &amp; OC customers and Taskers.

Just ask Tasker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.com\/blog\/profile\/jose-f--24\">Jose F.<\/a>, who found himself tasking for a young LA resident named Valerie, who promptly offered him breakfast when he arrived.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight away, Valerie liked my work, and she hired me back for more tasks,\u201d Jose says. \u201cI ended up meeting her dad, mom, and sister, and now, they\u2019re like family to me. Every time I\u2019m over, they invite me to sit down and join them for whatever meal they\u2019re about to eat. I\u2019ve made a wonderful connection with them, all while helping them fix their home, which they always appreciate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before becoming a Tasker, Jose was looking for work everywhere\u2014temp jobs, fast food, and odd jobs here and there. After joining Taskrabbit and earning his first good reviews, customers encouraged him to task full time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was scared about going full time at first, but customers kept repeating the suggestion to me. Next thing I knew, I was accepting tasks left and right\u2014mostly for IKEA furniture assembly. Ever since, I\u2019ve had one or two weeks of work lined up in advance. My amazing LA &amp; OC customers have allowed me to be both financially stable and present for my daughter. And the reason tasking is particularly special down here is because of all the different cultures you get to experience\u2014not to mention the friendly and welcoming people.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jose even invited Valerie and her family to his daughter\u2019s Quincea\u00f1era, and yes, they showed up. As he put it: \u201cWe all had a blast, and I have pictures and videos to prove it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want Jose\u2019s help around your house?
