I'll start: I beautify businesses and make them known to the right people. To the people who need to know about them.

When explaining a work to a child, I should utilize clear, understandable examples and basic language. A job is something parents perform to help make money so they can buy stuff like food, toys, and clothes, to put it simply and according to their age and mindset.

As a doctor, I explain to a child that my duty is to help people feel better when they are ill.

I help people (companies) to be seen – so they know about those companies and are curious about what companies do and even want to have those things.
@busmark_w_nika haha it needs to be tried out! I personally tried on one of my little cousin of 6 years old, and he understood! Not gonna lie, I froze for a second when he asked me what I do, then I got something to say!

@steffi_nicolaides What was her reaction? :D What does she want to be when she grows up? :)
As a content creator, I explain it to a child simply as My job involves creating entertaining and exciting content for others to enjoy. It's similar like creating a fantastic show and sharing it with everyone so they may have fun or learn something new.
@kimberly_west what a nice way to put it! and what kind of content do you create?
For kiddos, I'd say being a programmer is like being a chef that makes recipes for computers to follow. We write the step-by-step instructions in a special language the computer understands, so it knows exactly what to do - just like a recipe tells a chef how to make a tasty meal! And when we put all those instructions together just right, we can create games, apps, and all sorts of cool digital stuff. So coding is kind of like cooking up fun things, but with keyboards instead of ovens!
When kids ask what I do, I tell them my job is teaching computers how to be smart, just like their teachers help them learn new things every day. Sometimes the computers get confused like they do, but I'm there to help them figure things out, just like their teachers are always there to help them.
