what job can a 9 year old get for money?

Answer 1

raking leaves, shoveling snow,helping someone clean. I think it is too early for a newspaper route.

Answer 2

I don't believe a 9 year old can work a "regular job" at least in the U.S. However there are many things a nine year old can do to make some 'spending money.'

Depending on your location such things as raking leaves, shoveling snow or perhaps even mowing yards with some adult supervision could earn you money.

Some families give "jobs" to their kids in order to receive an allowance. Keep in mind that you are part of the household and somethings should be done without even the thought of getting paid to do them.

Keeping your own room picked up, trash taken out, and even helping with vacuuming the floors should be done even if you don't receive a dime for doing it.

Even at your age whatever job you do, learn now to do it to the best of your ability. Take the time to do the job right the first time. Don't just rush through it in order to say you did it leaving it so someone else will have to finish it.

In other words, if you agree to rake leaves make sure you rake them all and not just the easy ones. Take the time to get the ones that may have blown into the flower beds or under a porch. Don't leave those for someone else.

Use this same principle in whatever task you undertake throughout your working career.

Best of Luck!!!!!!

Answer 3

Walking dogs, raking leaves, selling lemonade on the corner. There is a reason that child labor laws are in place. Kids should embrace their childhood while they have it and they don't need to go out and make money at that age.

No one under age 16 should be operating or in the vicinity of a lawnmower as they are very dangerous. And a 9 yr old would be too curious for their own good and risk death by using one. No responsible adult would ever consider the idea either of allowing a child to use one even with supervision.

In the winter, shovels full of snow are heavy and even alot of adults have difficulty with it. Shovels are heavy on their own before putting anything in them so a 9 yr old would never be able to lift one, much less be able to use one continuously. Also, walking on ice takes a great deal of practice and some people never are able to learn.

Well, it ends up that the law says that you can't work for money outside the house. That is good in a way because children have been forced to work in hard jobs in other countries and even in the US 100 years ago. You need school first.

That said, there are things that need to be done that you already know. When it snows, many people would pay to shovel their walk. When grass needs cutting, you can do that when you learn to use the mower safly at home. Wash windows, sweep, rake, clean. If you are not used to doing this, practice at home and get your parents approval, then offer to do others.

If you are lucky to have parents that own a business, offer to do chores at their business. I had a famikly member that owned a bar, and I could rinse and stack empty beer bottles in the cases for return, then move the chairs, sweep the floor and wash it. That doesn;t work for non-family tho.

Good luck

Answer 6

Not that much probably. You might be able to get paid to do a few odd jobs around the house for a neighbor or set up a lemonade stand but otherwise there's not much a 9 year old would be asked to do and get paid for.

Answer 7

I mostly agree with the other yahoo responds. I usually have my nephew vaccum the house, wash the car, while he gets some money I take the approtunity to teach him the lesson of hard work. take the trash for our neighbors. Sometime Elderly people in your neighborhood, but specially in your church. That will be safe for him.
Well good luck!!

Answer 8

Cutting grass, shovelling snow, taking care of people's pets when they're on vacation... use you're imagination. There are jobs for 9 yr olds if you think about it.

Answer 9

well in the summer he can go and ask his neighbors if he can cut their grass or other things that they need done. In the fall rake leaves. I n the winter he can shovel drive ways.exspecially for the elders.

Answer 10

He could mow lawns, rake leaves, deliver newspapers, walk dogs, etc, or sell his toys, clothes etc,he doesn't want anymore on Ebay. Mowing lawns is dangerous, delivering newspapers in the morning could be too.
