Jobs for 9 Year Olds
Some people believe in paid chores and therefore are looking for work for 9-year-olds that they can get paid for. I personally believe in paid chores but I do think that kids should also have responsibilities and chores that they are not paid for. In my opinion, paid chores should be over and above what they should do each day. They should be able to choose paid chores and if they do them well then they get paid for them.
If you are looking for work for 9-year-olds then choose additional chores from the list above.
