Where can you find everyday jobs for 13 year olds????

Answer 1

Check Central America. In the US, most states have minimum age requirements, usually 15. The only exceptions are when the minor works at the place where their parents work. If your mom or dad has a job where they could employ 13 yr olds, then that is your only option.

Answer 2

If you want a true job, not waiting for calls to babysit or mow lawns, your best chance will be to find a family member or friend who owns a small business that will allow you do small things, such as filing or answering the phone after school for an hour or two a day. However, at 13, I am sure you want your own money but you need to enjoy this time when you don't have the financial obligations. Take this time to become responsible so that you obtain the qualities needed to get a great job when you turn 16.

Answer 3

First off, at 13 years of age, you are not allowed to hold down a regular job.

You will have to be creative about finding work! Babysitting is a good possibility as is mowing lawns, shoveling snow, raking leaves, cleaning out gutters or running errands for neighbors.

Most local newspapers offer routes for teens but, be careful, a newspaper route is not as much fun when the weather is cold or nasty.

You may be able to think of other ways to earn money too. Maybe you are involved in an organization where you could sell pop, candy or brownies at their events. Many industrious teens sell pop and other goodies at parades, in the local parks and other local community events.

If you have a local golf course, you could make yourself available to caddy for some extra money too as long as the golf course will allow it.

In short, be creative and think about what events your community offers and what you could do to make some extra money.

Best of luck!

Answer 4

I don't agree with babysitting I wouldn't let a 13 year old watch my kids. You could do a news paper route depending where you live, or you could mow grass, walk dogs, in the winter you can shovel driveways and sidewalks for the elderly!! As far as an everyday job with payroll check...good luck! Where I live we do not hire 13 year olds..as far as I know anyway!

Answer 5

Well, you should start by thinking of things that someone would trust a 13 year old to do, like babysit, walk dogs, and things like that. Another thing to do is take advantage of the weather. During the summer and spring, you could mow people's grass. During the fall, you could rake leaves, and in winter you could shovel snow.

Answer 6

You can't. Folks that young are not allowed to work. Unless you are babysitting or something of the sort.

Child Labor Law

Child labor law, enacted by the Federal Government, restricts when children can work and what jobs they can do. Teens hired for nonagricultural employment (which is just about everything other than farm work) must be at least fourteen. Other child labor law restrictions, regulating the type of positions youth can hold and the type of work they can do are also in effect.

Child Labor Law: Job Restrictions

18 Years of Age
Once a youth reaches 18 years of age, he or she is no longer subject to the federal youth employment and child labor law provisions.

16 and 17 Years of Age
Sixteen- and 17-year-olds may be employed for unlimited hours in any occupation other than those declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor. Examples of equipment declared hazardous in food service establishments include power-driven meat processing machines (meat slicers, saws, patty forming machines, grinders, or choppers), commercial mixers and certain power-driven bakery machines.

14 and 15 Years of Age
During the school year, hours are limited to 3 hours a day and 18 hours a week. On days when there's no school and in the summer, working hours increase to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week. There are limits on when children can work, too - no later than 7 p.m. during the school year and no later than 9 p.m. between June 1 and Labor Day. Fourteen- and 15- year-olds may be employed in restaurants and quick-service establishments outside school hours in a variety of jobs for limited periods of time and under specified conditions.

Answer 7

good question if you arent near a ranch, where there is always something to do. In the urban areas you can " MAKE " jobs, by
asking the neighbors on you street if the kids can rake leaves,
move stuff, cut grass, or do something that the residents, particularly older retired folks cant do, and you will usually get a long list of things to do.

Answer 8

School is your job.

Otherwise, after school, you can babysit, mow lawns, shovel snow, things like that. You are not really mature enough to handle "everyday jobs" yet -- no offense. It is the nature of being 13.

Answer 9

Try babysitting if you like kids. Or mow a neighbors yard during the summer.

You can earn some decent money like that.

Answer 10

In your neighborhood (babysitting, mowing lawns, cleaning pools, etc) You can't legally get a job unless your parents own the company.
