Answer 1

babysitting is always a good job

especially if you go at night when they are most likely to be sleeping.

Answer 2

Obviously, you are going to need your mom´s approval, so maybe give her a plan. Take a bit to think it over and then go to her and let her know why you don´t want to go to camp and why you feel it would be better to stay home this summer. Tell her that you are interested in earning some money (maybe give her a reason why) and explain how you would like to do that.

Sometimes parents figure that their kids haven´t thought a business idea through, so you can write out a business plan before talking to her.

Some ideas for summer jobs:

- Mother´s help

- Craft sales

- Dog walking

- Pet sitting

- Classes for little kids

Good luck convincing your mother!

Answer 3

Baby sitting is a thing to do, holding signs up for stores is a good way to make money over the summer. Yard sale. or just talk to your mom about the whole dog washing thing

Answer 4

I'm not sure you would make very much money shoveling snow over the summer, but I'm sure there are other things you can do. Babysitting, dogwalking, picking up dog p**p in yards, pet sitting, tutor younger kids, paper route, wash cars. Be creative! You'll come up with something!
