There are many ways you can earn money. But I don't think its a quick way to make money. I babysit and I get paid very well. But I think you have to be 13-14 to start.

My Rates

1-2 kids ~ $5.00/hour
Each additional child ~ $1.25/hour

*When you are babysitting a baby under 10 months old, you should ask to be paid a bit more than your regular charge, since you must give more attention, change the baby, feed the baby, and put the baby to bed.

Another Idea is to have a bake sale/ lemonade stand. Me and my sisters baked all week, made poster signs and decided how much we should charge for each baking good. Any age is perfect for this job!

Another good job is to start a walking dogs for neighbors that have dogs. You can either put up posters around town, or hand out fliers to people you know that have dogs. I would charge 5 dollars per dog.

Another good job is to wash cars, or open a car wash buisness with friends for a few days, mow the lawn, shovel drive ways in the winter, and help people clean there house that might need help.

You could also work at fast food restaurtants, or grocery stores too.

Answer 3

Unfortunately you pose a tough question because 13 is a tough age to get a job. The fact that you are showing responsibility at such a young age is fantastic! Here are a couple of suggestions.

-mow the neighbors lawn

-do chores for your parents...see about working out a deal to go above and beyond what you already do

-paper route...I know that it might sound cheesey, but you will be busy in the morining before school and you have your nights free!

-talk to your parents about friends of the family and see if they have any businesses they need help with. Perhaps a farm or in home business.

-take up a craft. Try knitting or something along those lines and sell scarfs and other products

Hopefully that helped you a little bit. Good luck! I used to baby sit too....and I don't blame you for wanting to get another job:)

Answer 4

Talk to your parents and see if you can do some extra chores around the house to earn a little extra. Try a relative that might need some light housekeeping done or an elderly neighbor that might need some things done that you would be capable of doing. I don't think any company will hire a 13 yr. old..and at age 15 you would need a work permit. Do you know someone that might need a pet sitter..i.e. come in an feed/water the animals while they would be gone......Good Luck.

Answer 5

When I was 13 I got a job as a newspaper deliverer!hahahaha! It sucked so bad, too, because it would rain and I was all on my broken down bike. I did alot of babysitting, too, though. I suggest talking to somebody at your school, maybe. Sometimes they have jobs for the students to do that they pay money for. Or if you're creative and like to make things...like clothes or jewelry, make some and take it to like thrift stores/consignment stores or places like that that will give you a percentage of whatever they make from selling your stuff.

Answer 6

In most states, the law dictates that you cannot work until you are 15. For now, garage sale, grow some vegies and have a stand, more babysitting, run errands for people for extra money (let them know upfront that this is a business for you), cut grass, shovel snow, help people with yard work, walk their dogs,etc.

Answer 7

The only kinds of jobs you're likely to get other than babysitting are odd jobs like shoveling snow, doing yardwork or occasionally being a mother's helper. I understand it's frustrating being broke, but maybe if you do extra jobs around the house (besides your chores), then your parents will pay you.

Answer 8

You really can't get a job at that age. The good age to start working is 16 or so and they won't usually accept you until then. In the meantime, volunteer and continue babysitting.

Answer 9

Do some investigating around your town. There may be sweat shops making quilts that may be hiring.

I'm just kidding. Your only 13. You don't need a job right now. You need to study for school so you can get a good job later in life. You can always ask for Half Naked Barbie for your birthday.

Answer 10

no actual business will hire you, not likely. you must be inventive with your ideals for making money. you can make necklaces and sell them around your community or have someone set up an ebay account, a parent can control it, but you can sell things you make. search the internet and find out what "profit" means. use that to figure out how much to sell the things you make for. basically, figure exactly how much all the materials costed to make yr stuff, then figure how much money each completed product costs, sell them for a bit more then they cost. say one necklace costs $5 to make, sell them for $8, which would be a $3 profit, meaning you make $3 when its all said and done. incorperate how much sending the necklace to someone will cost, say $5.00 for shipping, if you sell on ebay, they get a cut, so figure that in too. so there you go. you could even make stuffed animals, learn to sew by hand, its really easy, i learned back in like 6th or 7th grade. go to an arts & crafts store, you'll find something good, hopefully a parent will invest in your ideal.

Answer 11

Enjoy your childhood and attend school regularly. Continue your schooling. However, if you must work, you better continue Baby sitting. At the most, you may join a hair dresser of repute in your area as apprentice, Or any other apperanticeship tailoring, dress designing etc. you may kindly chose, area/function which ever interest you the most.
Good Luck! and LOts of LOVE!!
