I think you have to be 14 to get working papers which you need to work in the USA legally, so you wont be able to get a job at 12. You sister could go to a diner and try to bus tables, thats always a job I see younger people doing and it gives you a foot in the door to becoming a waitress.
I have to ask, if you clean all 22 rooms you only make $2.20? Is it really worth it for you to do this cleaning? 10 cents per room doesnt really seem fair even if you are the boss's daughter.
ETA: I agree with the other posters, babysitting is a great opportunity for young girls.

There are child labor laws, and your mother is violating them. She should be paying you a lot more than that. And your not suppose to use any equipment, even a vacuum. Have either of you tried babysitting?

You could babysit, mow lawns, shovel snow, bag groceries, wash cars of the guests in your motel.
