hey, I saw someone ask for jobs for 15-year-olds, so I thought I would ask are there any 13-year-old jobs? I can't find any! Can anybody help? My family really needs money!
solidadvice4teens answered Wednesday April 14 2010, 10:35 pm: The easiest and perhaps best thing you can do at 13-years-old is babysitting. Create your own business and charge people to watch their kids on a frequent basis.
You'll need to take a course designed for teens that teaches you a lot of skills plus certifies you in CPR and lifesaving skills. That part's a breeze.
I don't know the law in the U.S. and it differs from each state but to my understanding you need to be at least 14 to get a work papers or a social security number. (CORRECT ME IF WRONG). In Canada it's that way and you can legally be hired nor work until 14 unless it recently changed.
It's great that you want to help you family financially but you also have to understand that your parents know how young you are and that the problem isn't at all influenced by you.
It will get worked out but don't put a ton of pressure on yourself to have to work. Do what you can but if you can't go to work yet don't feel you're letting anyone down or that you aren't pulling your weight. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]

The chances of you finding a job at the age of 13 are almost impossible, Jobs that would probably take you are Babysitting and Dog walking.
