umm.. according to the child labor laws when she turns 14 she could have small jobs likea local shop, or work ata movie theatre, or a fast food place.
but in the meantime, babysitting is good.
Does she get allowance? maybe doing some chores could convince parents to giv e her allowance
•also mowing lawns sounds smart,
•or having a garage sale,
•selling some of her old stuff on ebay,
•if she is really smart she could tutor some kids,
•ask the teachers, maybe they could let her grade some papers for some $
•she could sell lemonade.
•make stuff like cards and sell them for $1
ah, hope that helped ~ =)

At the age of twelve she could babysit during daylight hours by giving the mom's a day out while she takes them to the park or just spends time with them. she could also offer to help the elderly by cleaning out sheds or closets things that they are not able to do not to mention if there are decent enough things she could save up and have a yard sell. or even be a go getter for the elderly. there is always weeding gardens with adult supervision my favorite was walking the neighbors dogs or having a dog wash. hope this gives you and her some ideas

Baby sitting is more appropriate then mowing lawns for a 12 year old girl. She could also run errands for old people if you have a retirement home around where you live.

Its very difficult because in this day and age you spent more time trying to keep them away from pervs and peadofiles . Walking dogs as long as its only in your street OR why dont you share the paper round and half the money ,its a start

babysitting is always good. check your local grocery store to see if you can bag groceries or ice. if there is a snowie place somewhere, you can get a job there. sometimes the city offers jobs, such as cleaning highways. yes, it may be dirty work, but it does pay.
