Maybe you could tutor at your local elementary school, walk dogs, or ask if you could apply for a small job at your library. Good luck!

If you need more suggestions, just tell me =)

hey there isnt really much you can do at 13 you cant have a real job legally until you turn 16 but if you know anyone with kids or somethin you could offer to watch the kids when they went out or see if your parents know anyone w/ kids that you could babysit other than that..i dunno sorry!

just a note: for babysitting you dont have to know the people all that well. Make yourself seem like a great person, post flyers, have people you know who know other people spread the word! it helps..

As for jobs...if you know anyone who needs help with stuff at there OFFICe or like there store, stop in and ask if they need anyone to help out, file papers, take messages, i doubt you could do it cause your 13 but it never hurts to try! -aMaNdA<3*

if you like babysitting put an add up around your neighborhood (but be careful)or ask your parents to ask some people at work if they have any young kids and to tell them your interested. when i was little i used to wash peoples cars we put up a sign at the entrance of the neighborhood lol that probably sounds weird but we were odd kids and we got good money that way

accolade answered Saturday August 14 2004, 5:39 pm:
the only place i can think of that hires people under 15 is the greenhouses. it's grunge work, but you get paid. and about babysitting.... talk to people at school, neighborhood, church... ask your parents to recomend you, even put up signs in nice communites saying you're willing to babyssit for X amount of kids for X dollars an hour...
hope i helped, and if you need anymore ideas, just ask

Well i dont think there is much you can do at 13, besides stuff u can do on your own like lemonade stands and stuff like that, but for baby sitting you can make a flyer and stand outside like your shoprite or walmart and hand out flyers for babysitting! gl x3

Mercy_x_Me answered Saturday August 14 2004, 4:16 pm:
Try mowing lawns. You can hang up signs and put it this way, where there are houses, there are lawns. So slip signs in peoples mailboxes or hang some up and stuff. Only thing is you have to be careful and make sure you know what you are doing. Other than that if you dont have working papers im not really sure what else you can do. Best wishes for ya sweets

xoXo
