It's very important for kids to do some housework during vacation time. It can not only reduce parents' burden, but also teach you responsibility. You can help parents tidy up bed, fold clothes and clean the carpet and so on.
Take carpet cleaning for example. If your parents are busy with their work, you can do some chores within your ability. It's not difficult to clean the carpet. You can vacuum it twice a week. But if you intend to make money by doing chores for others, you'd better do it with your friend. Distribute leaflets and try your best to advertise your service. Almost each family has a vacuum. It will let your cleaning work become more convenient. Some carpets may be too dirty to clean. Thus you need to prepare detergent. Your customers are mainly householders and small companies. Perhaps you don't have enough time to provide your service for too many customers. After all, study is the most important to kids.
Therefore you must properly arrange your part-time job and study. Never let the job interfere with your school work. You can choose one certain area to do chores according to your spare time, for instance, clean the carpet especially for families. Your service charge depends on the working hour and task difficulty. Generally, your employer will give you reward by the hour. But if the cleaning work is easy to finish, your income will be lower; if the task is a little difficult or even there is some furniture to be moved, you will earn more money.?
