Just wanted to add an opinion about hiring kids. So many are good workers, love to help and be needed and want to earn money just as adults do. I know if money is tight you probably can't hire anyone, but if you have a little extra here are some things kids can do:
- Take out weekly trash
- Wash trashcans
- Clean up the yard
- Clean up/sweep sidewalks
- Wash you car
- Run errands
- Clean your fridge
- Clean all of the things under, under the sofa, behind the fridge etc.
- Walk your dog
- Scrub a floor
- Grocery assistant, ask parents to take along a child to help carry groceries which also gives them a lesson in budgeting
- Organizing a bookcase/craft shelves and give some to the child helping you clean out
- yard sales/home or Garage sales, let them help organize and "mind the store" while you take a nearby break.
Make sure to be precise with instructions and get written parent permission if you decide to allow a child in your home. With that in mind have an open door policy so mom and dad can come in and check. Kids who are active in a positive atmosphere are happier kids, so do yourself a favor, your community and hire a kid !
