my child is 10 yrs old she want's to earn money what kind of jobs can she do?

Answer 1

When I was young my parents would give me money for doing my chores. Dad made a chart for Mon-Sun. He would give me like say 10 cents for some and maybe 25 cents. I know that wasn't much. (but multiply that amount x's 7 and it was good) You can choose to make yours whatever amount you want to. Then at the end of the week I would have a total. I got a little for homework, making the bed, helping w/ dishes, empting trash cans. Those are just some to name a few. Dad would also give me $3.00 (I think) for every book I read. That really encouraged me to read when I was younger. He also gave me a set weekly allowance. So doing all my chores was an extra bonus for me and a way to earn more money. Plus I worked even harder or read more if I wanted to get more money. Dad would also take out $5.00 ever week and he put that in a seperate bank account for me. That was to help me when I went to college. This may be a fun, easy way for your daughter to earn a little extra money.

Answer 2

There is nothing wrong with a 10 year old that would like to earn money. It will help her to understand in a concrete manner the exact value of a dollar. Too many kids are given cash as rewards for things that are expected of them, rather than as an incentive to go beyond what is expected.

At 10, she should already have a couple of chores that she is responsible for around the house each week. These chores are not paid, it's part of being a part of a family. Cleaning her room each week is also not included, that is just learning personal responsibility. The same can be said of her school work. She is expected to get certain marks in school as a matter of principal, not because of monetary rewards. Obviously, you can pay a "bonus" for extra good grades. I used to pay my kids a buck for every test paper that had a grade of 96% or higher. I also paid $5 for each "A" on a report card, but charged them $10 for anything lower than a "B".

For paying gigs, I'd suggest raking leaves, shoveling snow, cutting grass, dog walking, or a small local paper route. These are all jobs my own kids have done between 9-12 years old. Just remember that if you really want her to have an understanding of money that you have to draw a parallel between working and the object that she purchases with her money. It doesn't help if you turn around and buy whatever it was she wanted anyway.

You may also want to look into teaching her the value of buying certain things used. Resale shops are becoming very popular and some only deal in the big ticket brands, especially in clothes. You didn't say where you live, but Plato's Closet in Michigan is probably one of the fastest growing businesses I've ever seen.

A little hard work never killed a kid and you'll appreciate the lesson they learn when they get older. My kids are now 16 & 18, both have cars that are only three years old, that they paid for themselves.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

She can do odd jobs and errands for senior citizens. This can be a booming business for her and it gives the senior a chance to socialize with a young person. There are a lot of tasks like gardening and lawn care, groceries, peeling vegetables, floor care, and car washing. You may want to go with her the first few times to establish that she knows how to do the task, and that she is assertive enough to ask to be paid. She can get free business cards online to give out in the neighborhood or at the grocery store. Help her set a rate per task and make it clear to the customer that this is her job, not volunteer work. Everyone around here is looking for a little help but no luck with the kids. Some kid could make a heap of money! Best of luck to you!!

Answer 4

10 is a little young to be looking for work. But it's great that she is!

At present, I would suggest paying her to do various chores.

In a few years, she can babysit, or maybe do yardwork. And after that, she can consider the regular work place- as long as she makes sure she has time to take care of her school and homework.

Answer 5

Give her chores around the house.

Doing the dishes, vacuuming, dusting, laundry, setting the table. This is if you want to give her the money. If she wants to get the money from someone else, then babysitting is about it. And she might be a bit young for that, unless she can find someone with kids 4-7 or so.

Answer 6

Well she can always do stuff aroound the neighborhood like sell snow cones. I remember I used to sell snowcone all diffrent types of flavors and I earned 200 dollars. Also they can do stuff around the house and then get paid for.

Answer 7

when I was ten my mother would make fudge and cookies and let me sell them in our neighborhood.
show her how to do extra chores around the house and set a fee for them. (keeping her room clean is NOT included).
are there any elderly in the neighborhood? they probably need some kind of assistance they would be willing to pay for and enjoy her company also.
Whatever she chooses probably won't last long. At 10 play is more important to her. m

Answer 8

You could pay her allowance for doing household chores like making her bed, doing the dishes, watering the flowers...etc.

Allowance is a great way for children to appreciate hard work and the value of a dollar.

Answer 9

She can start earning money by doing things around the house...by doing that you would know that she is safe and in the house and you can keep an eye on her........as she work to earn her pay.........

Answer 10

Odd jobs for neighbors, friends, and family (gardening, running errands, helping with minor house work, etc).
With your help she can take a paper route.
If there's a program in your area, taking in recyclable materials.
Walking neighborhood pets.
