What is the best way for 2 12 year olds to make money durring the summer?

Question

besides mowing lawns and pulling weeds and how much should i charge

Answer 1

Sell lemonade or sweet tea if you live in the south. $00.50 a cup. If you have a pool in your neighborhood maybe you can ask your Home Owners Associate if your child could sell it there or near there.

Edit: Woops! I though you meant 2 1/2 years olds. You mean two twelve year olds. Well how about babysitting or watching a neighbor's kids at the pool. I say $8/hour/child.

Answer 2

Twelve years old?  Hmmm - well you're right - mowing lawns and weeding IS one option.  Let's see if we can think of others:

What about baby sitting; pet sitting; cleaning neighbor's houses; maybe doing stocking work at a friend's business?

The problem is - at your age (sorry, I didn't mean that to sound bad) - you're not really going to be able to "set" a wage per se.  You'll probably have to ask people what they would be willing to pay you for doing whatever.

What about sitting down with your parents and asking if they have any ideas?  It could be at where one of the work (or a friend's parents?) they could use some part-time help just to do copying or something?  See if they can help come up with ideas too!

Good Luck!  You sound like an entrepreneur!

Answer 3

Wash Windows!

Also trim or touch up painting or scraping off of dried, peeling paint.

Paint fences, garage doors, babysit, clean out street gutters,

Walk dogs, tutor younger kids who need heal with reading or math skills, water plants for vacationing neighbors, you get the drift......look around you and see a need, then fill it!  Be cheerful in your approach and do nt be greedy in what you charge, be reliable and you will get referrals and more work! Good luck!
