Where can a 12 year old work?

Question

My niece needs a job for some reason so i'm helping my sister help her find a job

Answer 1

Walking dogs, mother's helper, running errands for neighbors, door to door car washes, yard work.  Helping younger children with homework.

Answer 2

Well, a twelve year old can't really have a job cause she/he is too young.

Answer 3

ref a sport

Answer 4

Twelve-year-olds can't work; it violates child labor laws. She *might* be able to get a paper route, or something, but those jobs are usually given to boys.

I would encourage the niece to talk to neighbors about opportunities to earn money by walking dogs, raking leaves, babysitting, et cetera. She'll be able to pull in some good money, and will develop a great rapport with the neighbors on top of it.

If money is not the primary concern here, I would get the niece involved in volunteer work. Most soup kitches, food banks, animal shelters, and other non-profit organizations will accept help from minors. She won't be earning money, but she'll take other positive things away from these experiences and will develop a good work ethic.

Answer 5

taking out trash for the neighbors, cleaning up yards, walking dogs,

Answer 6

She would need to contact the local council and apply for a licence to work - they normally give one so long as the school headmaster says the school work is ok.  Cant work at any dangerous places and very limited hours available and she can be paid.  Probably find more info on local council website anyway.

Answer 7

Merchandiser, paper route, envelope stuffing, etc.  They could also look around at local businesses, helping out cleaning and what not.  She could volenteer at the humane society.  She may not get paid but it would keep her busy and teach her some responsibility.

Answer 10

As the mother of three daughters, I think 12 year olds are too young to work...maybe they can start babysitting when they're 13, or maybe a paper route in the summer...but I wouldnt let them do much more than that.

Answer 11
