How can I make money when I'm not quite old enough to get a job?

Question

I know baby sitting is a good way to make money, but I can't seem to find anybody that needs a baby sitter! I need money right now, because my family is kind of going broke... any ideas?

Answer 1

Not quite old enough for a job, your options are limited.

Most businesses want you to be at least 16.

Time to be inventive:

My suggestions to you:

Make up flyers and pass them around in your neighborhood.

Offer to do whatever work it is you want to do, such as :

Pass out Flyers, Computer work, Babysit, Clean Garages, Organize Cupboards, File Papers, Wash Cars, Mow Lawns, Pull Weeds, Tutor the neighbors kids, Walk/wash Dogs, Dog sit, Clean the Pool, Assist the elderly, whatever...

Post first whatever it is you want to do or are good at ...

You should keep your options open and make a decision after the persons call you instead of not giving them many reasons to call.

Say on the flyer you are a student and are available on Saturdays.

Answer 2

your family could sign a form available at the IRS giving you permission to work.
