Answer 1

Wait a couple or three years. Babysitting requires Calm, creativity, patience and maturity to not panic if child is injured/unwell or you are unsure if child is OK. You also must have nerves of steel as some kids cry/scream all the time,  are hyperactive or have other behavioral issues such as biting pets, smearing f***s, or playing with lighters/matches. Most parents will not tell you about this, they are so glad to get a night out they might hire a thirteen year old.

Really I'm not trying to scare you but this stuff  happens.

Wait till you are 16, try it. If 3 out of 5 babysits go well consider continuing. Never be afraid to tell a parent the real problem.

Stay out of the fridge, off the phone, do not adjust the thermostat.

Good Luck

Answer 2

You can start now...here are some other ideas as well...

baby sit, dog sit, offer to walk dogs, garage sale, mow lawns, sell lemonade, clean houses,clean garages,pull weeds,ebay, a dishwasher at a restaurant(some do hire), paper route,wash inside and clean outside of cars, some fast food places hire, make crafts and sell them house to house.

There are many opportunities, just find something you like to do and go from there. Im 14 and I started trying to make money a few months ago. I like to excercise, so I decided to mow lawns for neighbors(its not neccessarily something that I liKe to do though) But I do like to sell things, and I often do garage sales. Just find something you like and work hard at it, if you work hard you will do well. I now have around 1,700 dollars. Just put yourself out there, I also recently offered to babysit a kid next door, and dogsit for 2 neighbors if they ever need me too. Good Luck!!
