Babe you could always come to my house and we can work something out. Like we could ask the Nosey neighbours and the crazy neighbours if we can do something for them. We can ask my mom if u, me and Rachel(sorry Shelby) can rake our front yard for cash!! Hey u need to get creative hon. U can do much else cause your still underage. I'm in the same boat. lol. You know I am broke(like Skip Broke...or something like that) lol. You still really cant do much else cause of your age. But good luck anyways.
Dont steal it will come back around. Karma.

I don't understand why you can't do yardwork, but how about housework? Or -- odd jobs. I swear, I could use you right this minute if you were really willing to help with odds and ends for an hour or two. The holidays are a Frantic Time! Make up a brochure and go to every house in your neighborhood, tell them you know the holidays are a busy time and you're there for them whenever they need you. Stamping / addressing envelopes. Wrapping packages. Making phone calls. Loading the dishwasher, picking up toys, washing the blinds or the walls or the floor. People get unexpected company and they get frantic. Shopping, if it's people who know and trust you. Mailing packages. Cleaning and prepping the pets for company. Your job title is: Personal Assistant. Hanging lights. Installing Christmas trees.... Make a list like this on your brochure. Where do you live? Can you come to my place? grin
P.S. My 12-year-old nephew goes to the flea market and gets cool kid stuff in bulk and sells it to his friends and everybody's happy. Except they made him stop doing it at school so I don't know where he's going now. If you stand at a bus stop playing with one of those little deals and then be willing to let people have them for a couple of bucks, it's fun.

Why cant you do yard work? Will you break in two if you do. Pretty much at 12 you are limited to Yard work or babysitting. You could wrap Christmas gifts for elderly people for a small fee or help hang decorations. I did that last year for some of my relatives and they paid me about 200 dollars total. I wasn't even asking for the money. They knew I was going to college and needed the money.

Why don't you get creative, make jewelry for example, paint and sell what you do online. Start writing books for kids younger than you if you like to write.
All is about what would you like to do, How can you have fun and earn money doing what you like to do.?
If you thought about being a tutor that means you are smart so use what you know. I suggest you explore your possibilities, write down what you are good at, maybe learning a new hobby will help you get what you want.
Good luck.

You can start being a mother's helper for local families. Ask around-neighbors, family, friends-if anyone needs extra help around the house. Depending on where you live you can make anywhere from $4-10 an hour being a mother's helper. It is also the best way to transition into babysitting as you get older.

Ask your parents if there are any chores you can do around the house for payment such as laundry, dishes, housecleaning, etc. This of course should be something above and beyond your normal chores if you have any. If that doesn't work, what about neighbors? Many people today seem to want someone to clean their house and it pays very well in most cases. Good luck.

believe it or not ripley but people who have dogs and work sometimes need people to come in and feed them and walk them you should advertise or make flyers and give them to dogwalkers. people love their pets and dont like to think of them needing for anything like company or food, exercise. or make cookies. paper delivery. or try and find old people locally and run errands to the store for them. saturday and sunday car wash make flyers explaining automatic car washes are not as good as an energetic 12 year old and youll do a good job at their own homes in their own drives just phone and book a time for the weekend be careful dont damage anything. let your folks know where you are at all times.

If you have any old games or toys that you don't need anymore, you should give away those. Maybe you could do more chores and try to get your grades up so that your parents are in a good mood. If you need the money for christmas presents, your parents should give you some money.

Well. I just turned 13. The main way I earned money was babysitting. =] But since you can't do that...You should ask your parents for work around the house to get a reasonable pay. That'll get you some money. Good luck <33
