Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

"I'd" here is the contracted version of "I would." Remember that "would" is used to express hypothetical situations, which is why the speaker has used it here. She's saying that if possible, she would have liked to help, but that she couldn't because she doesn't kiss frogs. Ex: I would drive you to work if I had my car today. Ex: You wouldn't have been late if you had gotten up earlier.
