  • I was a teacher for 30 years, but now that I’m retired, being able to make my own schedule is so important to me. When I wake up, I know I’m in charge of my day. I have an 85-year-old mother I look after and a new grandson I want to spend time with. Driving with Instacart gives me the flexibility to spend quality time with my family while still being able to earn extra money.
