During the summer, Heidi earned money by working for four neighbors, doing a different job for each. Given the following information:

1. Zach hired Heidi to walk his dogs.
   
   
2. Either Angelica or Maurice lives at #141.
   
   
3. Raquel lives two houses east of the person who employed Heidi as a babysitter.
   
   
4. The neighbor who lives at #139 and the person who hired Heidi to do housecleaning are of opposite genders.
   
   
5. It's not the person who hired Heidi to do gardening that lives in the easternmost house, #143.
   
   
6. All the neighbors live in a row on the same side of the street.
   
   

Find each neighbor's name, house number, and the job that Heidi did for each.

Zach had dogs walked #1

Raquel lives 2 houses east of babysitter #3
therefore, Raquel lives at 141 or 143, but can't live
at 141 because of #2.
Also, babysitter lives at 139.
Raquel lives at 143.

Male lives at 139, therefore Zach or Maurice, but 139 is the babysitter and since zach has his dogs walked, Maurice lives at 139

Maurice lives at 139 and needs a babysitter.

Angelica lives at 141 because Maurice doesn't.
Zach must live at 137.

Gardener does not live in 143, therefore Raquel isn't gardener but the housecleaner, and Angel is therefore in need of a gardener.

Overall, SK was right
Zach lives at 137 needs Dogs walked
Maurice lives at 139 needs babies sat
Angelica lives at 141 needs Garden tended
Raquel lives at 143 needs house cleaned.
