A YOUNG mother reveals that in a bid to earn some extra cash in the lead up to Christmas, she became an Evri delivery driver. Jade Mckelvie, 24, only does one or two shifts a week and claims that sometimes, she will work just one hour at a time. The mum-of-two, who is from West Sussex, and shares two children, Atticus, three and Alysia, one, with her partner Ben, 24, explains that before becoming a delivery driver, she was enjoying her maternity leave.

However, after getting bored at home, four months ago, she joined Evri - and has now been raking in the cash with the side hustle she described as ‘easy’. Jade reveals all to Fabulous, as she explains: “I’d been on maternity leave, I wanted something to do to make a bit more money in the lead up to Christmas.

“I used to work nights in care. It was intense. It wasn’t flexible in the slightest. Evri is very different. With Evri, nothing is set at all, you can choose what time and day you work. “It fits around childcare whereas with a normal job with set days and times, I found it a lot harder.”.

Jade typically works two shifts a week whilst her kids are at nursery. She says: “The hours vary. If I pick my parcels up earlier, I’ll be done earlier. “I always get less parcels than others as I can only do a few hours around the kids. I normally get around 70 to 80 parcels. Some people can get 150 parcels plus.
