Jobs
There are many ways you can earn 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 neighbours 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 business 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.
If are 14 years or older, you could also work at fast food restaurants, or grocery stores too.

Babysitt until you're old enough to obtain a work permit from your school, which will probably be high school for most. You could try asking a local pool if they need any help for a "snack-bar" staff or something like that too.

Try car dealerships. You may be able to get into a car dealership and be the car washer or detailer. I know a few younger ones who have done that. Who knows, maybe it would even turn out to be your career (not washing...I mean sales or something) once you climb the ladder.

As eager and driven as you are, there is no work for us 13's except babysitting. You could also try helping out neighbors with housework or chores, but there are no real jobs.
Sucks, eh?

Babysitting is probably the best choice. It shows your responsible. Hope this helps!

All I can tell you is to babysit, walk dogs, mow lawns in summer, shovel driveways in winter. Offer to run errands for elderly people in your neighborhood.

babysitting, you can be a rink supivisor durring the winter (well its a little late for that), you can work at mcdonalds or something like that, you can mow peoples lawns once the snow melts unless youre somewhere where there isint any snow... you could run errinds for people (DID I SPELL THAT RIGHT???) uhhh i dunno.. you should probably wait for next year when your options open up
