Default hiring kids

Years ago, I hired a 15 yo for yard work. He was a hard worker and a friend of the family. Every year until he was 18. NH Homeowners insurance has a worker's comp plan for domestic employees, and of course, liability and Med pay for issues caused by you. Check with your agent for full explanation.
Nowadays, If hiring a kid, I would only hire two and make it a point to never be alone with either one. No power tools for those under 18 anymore.,, at least drills and saws, or a mulcher. Maybe a leaf blower with ear and eye protection?
