4 Jobs kids love to do

Really? There are jobs kids like? Absolutely. Not only that, they'll usually do them for free. They won't even argue with you. Plus, they'll have fun doing them. You wouldn't believe the amount of work kids will do around the house. You just have to learn what they enjoy doing and assign them to those tasks. Here's 4 good examples of jobs kids love to do. If you put some thought into your kids' likes and dislikes, chances are, you can come up with a lot more.

1. Kids love to bake.

Whether it's chocolate chip cookies or birthday cake, all you have to do is ask and hand them a recipe or mix. Their reward is the treat, of course. How does baking a cake help you with your day? It's not exactly difficult. On the other hand, it's one less thing you have to do, isn't it? So go ahead, let kids bake a cake, whip up a batch of brownies or whatever else they like to do in the kitchen. When it comes to jobs kids love, this one appeals to most of them.

2. Kids love to water the lawn.

Why? Because they get to play in the sprinklers. Let's face it, you have a hard time getting to this task unless you have a sprinkler system. So, let kids cool off while the lawn gets a good soaking. It's dual purpose and a super fun job for kids. Believe me, you won't have to ask twice. Plus, your lawn will be the envy of neighbors. As for the water bill, well, you're on your own there.

3. Kids love to clean out the pool.

Why? Same reason they love to water the lawn. A lot of parents cite pool maintenance as a reason not to have a backyard pool. If you're a parent, remember, skimming the pool can be done while in it. That makes it a great job for the kids. They won't complain one tiny bit.

4. Kids love to walk the dog.

Even if you have to walk with them, this fun job for kids can help you out. The kids are happy. The dog is happy. Everyone gets some sunshine to fend off the grumbles. What could be better? Take it a step further. Hit the dog park. Let kids play ball or Frisbee with Fido while you relax with a good book. When was the last time you did that?
