Taking care of small children is one of the ways to make money. It is also called babysitting. Most parents do not have relatives living with them. They need someone to watch the children if they want to go out. A babysitter may play games, draw pictures, or read stories to the children, and then put them to bed at the proper time.
Mowing（割）lawns（草坪）for the neighbors is another common job. When people do not have time to mow their lawns in the garden, they are glad to pay somebody to do this.
