How Can a 12 year old make money???

Question

I am already babysitting my little sis 2 days a week over summer. But I still would like something to do on the other 3 days. Have any idea's???

Answer 1

Its hard for a child to make money especially under the age of sixteen. When i was twelve I made money in several ways. I sold candy door to door from junior careers, I do not know if the company still exist, it was a long time ago. This day and age it is very scary for a child to go door to door to sell candy and different items, People can be very evil. When I was a child it was a lot safer but now i would not take the risk. You can babysit friends younger children. You can also ask your parents if they can sett up allowance money for you my doing chores around the house. These are just a few Ideas, I hoped that i helped you in some way. Just enjoy being a kid while it last because before you know you will be an adult with many responsibilities.

Answer 2

Try to find more baby sitting jobs. You can also go around the neighborhood to see if their yards needs mowing. You can also try to get a paper route.

One of the things my nephew does is he sets up yardsales. Go around your house and ask your parents if you can sell stuff they do not need or sell your clothes that you do not wear.

Answer 3

A raise for babysitting them, and the other 3 days hang with friends, all around or get alone time and just chill and do w/e u enjoy

Answer 4

Help with dishes, setting the table, feeding the pets, sweeping the floor, doing yard work, etc.

Answer 5

Aww dude, that's nice.

How about doing a paper round?

Learn to build websites really well and sell them online (ONLY IF you are good at them)

Or use other skills. Have a look at the elance website, its freelancing where you do projects for people.

Or you could learn how to play poker/win on fruit machines.

Or you could sell your old junk on ebay. What's useless to you may be valuable to someone else!

Sit down and think about it =)

Well down here in the south we cut grass or babysitt the neighbors kids. Or odds and ends around the house and your neighbors houses also. Find out what he or she likes to do and go from there.

And thats what kids need to do this day in age.

You could print up a flyer to deliver to all the houses in your neighborhood. Offer services such as doing their dishes, sweeping, moping, vacuuming, walking/feeding their animals, raking, mowing, dusting, babysitting their kiddos.
