Colonial girls functioned as apprentices. They were apprentice wives and mothers. They were expected to learn, by participating in all of the duties involved, how to manage a home. Following are some examples of these skills and duties:

washed clothes, and dishes, ironed clothing and linens, prepared food, sewed and embroidered, cared for younger siblings, made beds, swept, mopped, practiced manners, practiced good nutrition, gathered food (fruits, berries, greens, roots) beat rugs, folded and stored clothing, whitewashed walls, scoured pots and pans, preserved foods, spun yarn and thread, wove and mended fabrics, fashioned buttons, etc.
