Different states have different laws on what age you can be hired, how many hours you can work, and when you can work. In some states, your school and/or parent has to give signed consent. So, first check the child labor laws in your state. Then, different businesses have different ages at which they will employ you. So you really need to do your research to see what you might qualify for just based on your age. Once you've done that, you can develop a list of potential employers and decide which jobs you are most interested in. Ofc, there are always unofficial jobs like mowing lawns or babysitting.

So yeah, like many others said, babysitting is probably best unless your fam or someone they know has a business where you could help out. Both sister and I did basic sitting around your age.

Any kind of part time job at a restaurant, an office, factory or warehouse. I don't know what the labour's laws are in the UK but here unless you're part of a family that owns a family owned business you're a bit to young tomput on the payroll. So you'd be paid from a petty cash account.

hiring a minor under 16 is often a crime. I doubt anybody would hire age 13 to baby sit. But you can offer to shovel snow by neighbors or parents.

At 13, there are still opportunities to gain work experience and learn responsibility. You can consider tasks like babysitting, dog walking, or helping neighbors with yard work. These roles offer a chance to develop skills such as time management and communication. Additionally, you can look into volunteering opportunities, which can be both rewarding and beneficial for future job applications. Remember, the focus at this age is more on learning and gaining experience rather than earning money.

I find doing work for a family member or parent to pick up skills is a good way to work. At 14, I took a penciled engineering design and transcribed it onto AutoCad. I was paid $100 which I thought was great cause it took less than 4 hours to do. I've heard of others that produce graphic images as 13 year olds. Most jobs require you are at least 16, but if you want to sell a beaded bracelet or blanket you made, I believe it's legal to do so.

Many things would enter into the picture. First off. Child labor laws in your area. The safety of your neighborhood and what jobs are available that you could do. What you are physically able to do. Your bodily strength. Do you excel in any school courses that you could tutor others? Ask your parents and look around.

At your age it's hard to get your foot in the door. Not many people want to hire a 13 yr. old. At your age I delivered papers. @14 or 15 I started working at my local amusement park. It was kind of like a rite of passage where I grew up. Virtually every kid worked there. If I were you I'd look for a place like a grocery bagger or a shelf stocker at a local grocery store. Something that's pretty simple work, yet still needed.

Valdemort · Answer

I wouldn't if I were you, but I started delivering local newspapers at that age. I don't know if that'd still be possible though.

Don’t announce your age in social media sites. Be careful of who you communicate with as there are a lot of questionable people out there.

You could learn how to mow lawns. That pays well and age doesn’t matter.

Do something online. You'll make more money and have more control of your time and effort than if you try to get a regular $5 job.

Realistically speaking no, you'd be bypassed by most if not all companies simply cause of your age, it's the reality

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

You could try something like baby sitting. I wouldn’t recommend a paper round for a girl your age.
