Does she like animals? How about dog walking?
Is she responsible? Maybe she can water plants, get mail, etc for people you know while they are on vacation.
And definitely volunteering ... while it doesn't pay monetarily, it will keep her busy, teach her a lot, and may very well pave the way for a paying job in the next couple years.

Some states required a work permit at the age of 16 not 14. If your neice really wants a job encourage her to use her extra time to volunteer for community service based on what she feel is right for her. Once she becomes a volunteer, and she does well, many doors will open for her so when she does become 16 or whatever your state age requirement for a work permit, she will know exactly what she wants to do and it will also help her determine her career goals for later on.

If your niece want to work then let her work as long as it does not interfere with her school work. My daughter started working when she was 14 and now she is 22 years old. I think it will help her develop a strong work ethic. As long as she is trying to do what is right, then you should support her 100 percent. Remember that her education should take precedence over everything right now, but she can work maybe 10 hours in a seven day period of time.

You should let her work at a fast-food restaurant or u can let her pick where she wants to work at as long as it doesn't affect her school or ur life. Meaning.....if she gets a job that gives her lots of hours and it gets to the point where she gets home very late and cannot go to school the next day, or u get so worried about her that u think she's getting hurt. U might want 2 sit down and have a little chat with her....if u will.

Babysitting

I just went through this with my son. You have very few options:
farms
dishwashing in some family type restaurants as long as she gets a work permit
paper route
babysitting
lawn and garden work for neighbors
odd jobs from friends and relatives.
Why not have her volunteer for a hospital,habitat for humanity. library, ......something like that.
She will learn to be responsible and it will look great on a resume when she can get a regular job.

Babysitting, mowing lawns/cleaning, grocery-shopping for elderly and people with disabilities. The earlier you can teach her about earning a living and being independent, the better off she'll be when she gets older.

How about a pharmaceuticals tester for a large mutinational or maybe a nuclear weapons tester for the North Koreans?
