Are there any jobs for 13 years old and up except baby siting?

Answer 1

shovel snow
mowing lawns
rake leaves
walk ppl's dogs
washing cars

stuff like that, the things ppl all need to do, but dont like to, or have a hard time fitting into their schedule.

OR, you could take a different route, and you could say.... buy some tomato seeds (easy to grow), grow them, then sell "home grown organic tomatoes"!.

something like that will take a little longer, but you can get seeds easily, and when theres a lot of veggies, theres a lot of cash.

Answer 2

I'm thinking you meant 13 or younger because you can get a job at many companies at 15 or 16. Here are some suggestions.

1. Mow the yard/yardwork.

2. Odd jobs for people who can't (like dusting, housework, laundry).

3. Dogwalking/dogsitting.

4. Try volunteering at a place that interests you. Many times this can lead to a job when you are older or have proven that you're a good worker.

5. Some summer camps have Counselors in Training, (CIT). It's a position for younger/inexperienced kids that doesn't pay as much as a full counselor but can give you great experience.

6. Check with your church and see if there's anything there you can do.

7. Referee soccer, softball, basketball for your local youth league. You will have to take a training course, but it can be good money.

Answer 3

There's mowing/raking lawns, washing cars, cleaning houses...(that pays big if you do it well), Lemonade/bakery stand, garage sells, and selling greeting cards. All of these I did when I was 13. I had a job cleaning windows for people when I was 15 (that requires climbing on a ladder and is best with a partner.)

What I never tried as a kid but thought if it later was going to where old people live and asking if they could use some help shopping. You could go on your bike to pick up things for some older person who has a hard time getting out and they would probably pay you well if you were friendly and visited them a while and picked up the right things for them. Get some regular customers and peddle your way to extra cash and cheering up someone's life. Some old people would pay a lot to have a nice kid visit them a couple of times a week and listen to stories of their grand kids in addition to picking up some groceries or something.

Do a good job and people will ask you back.

Answer 4

If you're very responsible there are lots of things you can do such as dog walking, housesitting, housecleaning, being a mother's helper, you could even do pet sitting, pet grooming, I think that you can get a paper route, but I'm not sure. If you're really good with things around the house - you could help people out with odd jobs like ironing, sewing, cooking - help people out with their garage sales, it's almost limitless. If you have an adult who can work with you on ebay - you could be their assistant in alot of the work. I'm not sure about the taxes though - if you earn a certain amount then I don't know how you report it. There might be like a special form in some states that you fill out to get your parents approval for tax purposes. Some schools have work-study programs for high schoolers. You can probably contact a teacher at your school and find out what the law says for your state.

Answer 5

Try posting yourself on craigslist.com under the labor services if you want to do light yard work, mowing, helping people move, I did labor when I was 16. You need to have your parents agree to take you places though since you don't have your license but put that you are 13 in the ad and want some money and you will probably meet nice people.
As far as stores go you are too young for anywhere I can think of until at least 15 1/2

Answer 6

My daughter started her business when she was 11 years old. She took the Red Cross Babysitting Class and First Aid course.

Once she had steady clients, she gave them a copy of her "summary of qualifications" (equilivilant of a resume) with references. The clients were asked to pass the summary to reliable friends that needed a babysitter. By the time she was 13 years old, she had babysitting jobs each Friday and Saturday night.

Her charges per hr were $1.50 /hr/family for the first 2 children, and 50 cents/per child #3 and over. (i.e. $2.00/3 children/same family) $1.50 was low, but if she charged say $4/hr, she left no room for the parents to tip her. (And parents DO TIP their sitters well for a good job if the cost per hour is not outrageous.)

NOTE: Babysitting can be a lucrative business for a teen. The IRS has gone after a 16 yr old for unreported income. So keep your books.

Another child started a business mowing yards and house/pet sitting. .

In the meantime, look for a 15/16 yr old who has babysitting clientel. When she is busy, she could refer you as a fill-in for her. It is a good way of beginning your own business.

Good Luck!

Answer 7

I have hired 13 year olds to work washing dogs at my grooming business. I also know young people who wash windows, do gardening, clean houses, tutor younger kids, deliver flyers and papers, swamp out trucks, shovel snow/rake leaves, and help install computers. The trick is to find people who want to hire you.

The best advertising is word of mouth - if you shovel snow for one lady, say, then let her know that you do other things as well and she will tell her friends. Likewise with babysitting. If you are reliable, polite, and trustworthy you will have lots of work in no time. Good luck!

Answer 8

Because of child labor laws you cant work until youre 14. But you can as you said babysit, work on a farm, deliver newspapers, or work for neighbors.

Answer 9

Dogwalking, pet sitting, light yardwork, etc. Most businesses won't hire teens until 15 or 16.

Answer 10

Baby-sitting. You'll get nowhere in life if you're not willing to start at the bottom.
