Erledigungen

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Herr Schmidt erhielt fuer seine Taetigkeit als lokaler handyman der sich um Erledigungen und Hilfsdienste kuemmerte, EUR 2,000 pro Monat.

This is taken from a legal document but is general commercial in nature. I do not know what the company does ... any ideas?

Thanks!

errands

All das, was spontan im Tagesablauf anfällt - im Sinne von 'Mädchen für alles'. Ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher, ob der englische Begriff allgemein genug ist, deshalb eine niedrige Antwortsicherheit - als 'food for thought'.

odd jobs

Or just jobs - could be an option

See wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handyman

A handyman, increasingly known as a handyperson or handywoman, is a person skilled at a wide range of repairs, typically around the home. These tasks include trade skills, repair work, maintenance work, both interior and exterior, and are sometimes described as "odd jobs", "fix-up tasks", and include light plumbing jobs such as fixing a leaky toilet or light electric jobs such as changing a light fixture.
