One of my friends from college suggested to me after I graduated to babysit for donation to my outgoing expenses.  Two of my good friends took me up on this right away, and I get to watch their two youngest kids every week.  It has been so much fun hanging out with them and playing with them every week, and I can't wait to see them again today!

People from my church and friends of my parents heard about my babysitting and also house cleaning for donation.  I absolutely LOVE cleaning.  I know, I'm such a dork for that, but I love it!  It was a chore, of course, when I was little, but I so thoroughly enjoy it now.  Putting things away neatly, using fun cleaning tools, ah!  It's the best. 

In addition to my love of kids and love of cleaning, I really love to cook.  I'm more of a baker than a cook, but making meals has gotten progressively more fun.  One family has hired me as their personal chef until I leave, all for donation to France.  One or two days a week, I make three lunches, two dinners, and a few healthier snacks for them.  It's so much fun to use my recipes from Pinterest that I know my family won't eat.  Yesterday, I make a lentil soup, a goat cheese-pesto-veggie pizza, a shaved fennel-grapefruit-arugula salad, a black bean salad, zucchini-oatmeal muffins, and a few other salads.  So much fun!

Who knew that doing the things I love would raise support?
