Is there any PLACES a 12 year old could get a job?

Question

Everyone always says babysitting...but my daughter wants to work at a place. Any ideas?

Answer 1

~I would say babysitting also but I am a 11 year old girl. I would say she could try getting a job as a day camp councler.

Answer 2

um, delivering news papers, mcdonalds, some smaller restaurants may hire.

Answer 3

Walking dogs babysitting some chores u may not want to do  mowing lawns pretty much everything adults usually push off on kids and u can make a killing w/ people who live alone shez 2 young for a lot of things

Answer 4

sorry but baby-sitting is the only way to go.  she is not legally old enough to work and she doesnt have a permit or any experience so no places will really accept her. babysitting isnt that bad though. it's much more relaxed. you can stay in a home and the owner will usually have a TV or computer. and all you have to do is make sure the child eats, sleeps, doesn't mess around, or cry. babysitting for now and when she gets older, she can find a real job.

Answer 5

You could try the local animal shelter and see if she could help out there. They wouldn't pay her though.

Answer 6

It's illegal for anyone under the age of 13 to work.

In some states you've got to be 13 to babysit even 14 or 15 in others.

I suggest you tell your daughter to wait another couple of years, because no one will want to hire her as she is a minor and there'll be loads of forms. Plus they have to keep and eye out for her and it could lose them money.

Babysitting is probably the only option for the next few years.

hope this helps.

Answer 7

no but I heard when you r 14 you can work @ McDonalds

-mowing lawns

-babysitting

Answer 8

No, not legally; sorry. According to child labor laws, the minimum age for employment is fourteen, and even then she'd have to get a permit. Even McDonalds won't hire until 15. Your best bet is --if you have a friend or relative who owns a small business-- she could work there. But other than that she can't get a job at a "place".

Answer 9

deliver newspapers.. thats what l did at your age

Answer 10

My brothers 16 years old and he can't find a job any where, they say you have to be 18. So, sorry I guess you might not find a job, or you have to look hard.

Answer 11

Mcdonalds wont even take 12 year olds. At 12, you cant really get a real job working somewhere. I am almost 13 and babysitting is the best option for me

Answer 12

I live in the country so there are plenty of jobs that kids could get around @ 12, my brother & cousins always helped in tobacco and also worked many odd jobs at farms in their early teen years, I started babysitting around age 12, but I have a huge family so ther was always a need for my help.

Answer 13

Yard work, dog walking, door to door car wash, running errands for neighbors.  She is too young to work anything than those "odd" jobs because of the child labor laws.  Anyone who would hire her would be breaking those laws.  The only place she could work without breaking any laws would be in a family owned business.

Answer 14

If your going to work at that age or any age between then and 18, be sure to get a worker's permit which you may be able to get at your school (I got mine at school I'm 16). But ya, finding a job is tough when your young... just mow lawns, do favors for people, fix people's computers, anything.

The easiest thing for any kid to do is just do chores, but my parents don't pay me for that... Good luck finding a job!

Answer 17

Nowhere.

Your daughter's  only option is baby-sitting or mowing lawns  until she's 15 or 16. Then she can get a job at McDonalds or a resturaunt or something.
