From the article: How to be a Mother's Helper
Did you earn your own money when you were a preteen? Did you babysit, take care of your neighbor's pets when they went away, or were you a mother's helper? What was your first job and how did you like it? Did it help you find work when you were a teen, and do you think today's tweens are mature enough to earn a little of their own spending money?

First Job

Hard Work
- As a preteen, I worked at a variety of jobs including delivering newspapers, weeding iris beds, cleaning and babysitting. When I was about 11, I found that the "Holly Hobby" style bonnet was easy to make so I made them in a variety of sizes. Friends bought them from me. A local gift store also purchased them from me to sell in their store.
