Victorian servants would have to clean the whole house, do laundry, chimney sweep, scrub bathrooms and toilets, wash the windows, clean carpets and other cleaning jobs. Servants were also used to prepare meals, tend to the owners horses, act as valets, run messages and take care of the owners property (such as trimming bushes )

MaxineI personally don't know many, but there is the coal mining, where children and adults would go in the mine and collect coal. There are separate jobs in coal mining, but i don't know any. There is also the chimney sweep jobs, that were preferred to be occupied by children because they could fit down the chimney.
