Most jobs do require you to be at least fifteen or sixteen. You should try to get a job at a restaurant as a busboy. I know, it doesn't sound like fun, but you are young. I started out there when I was younger. + just so you know, it's a nursing home.

I think that you can get a working liscense and 13. Check!
I know a lot of people who do a summer program through the city council. They get paid to go work at various charity organizations. I don't know if you have something like that where you live, but it's worth investigating.
Go up to the nursery home and ask how old you have to be. If you really want the job, you can prolly lie without ever having them find out.

Well at 13 you cant work at fast food places.. well not here anyways.. but you could do babysitting or something around that area-trix

I am not sure if you are a freshman in high school or what grade you are in currently, but most schools offer some kind of class where you work at a part time job after school and receive class credit for it, too. For example, I took a Home Economic Cooperative Education class and then worked at a sales job at a dept. store in the mall. This may not be available to you until you are 15 or 16, but it is a future job opportunity. Check with the guidance counselor at your school.
In the meantime, put out flyers and babysit or a job where you feed someone's pets & water plants while they are out of town. Also, I worked at a concession stand at a local ballpark in the neighborhood (like for Little League) when I was only 13. Babysitting if you are responsible, can earn up to $5.00 an hour and when people find out your are trustworthy, you'll be booked ALL of the time! Be firm about your price in the beginning and don't take less than what you quote before the job begins. Show that you know what you are doing and be firm. Adults will admire your ability to stand up for yourself in business. Also, if someone does not want to pay $5.00 an hour....hold out until someone does.Good sitters are hard to find and parents know they are worth their weight in gold!
Nursing homes have strict state guidelines & regulations and do not HIRE people under the age of 18, but it is a nice thought. Good luck.

I don't know if you would have a good chance of being hired at your age, but it would be a really good idea to look into some sort of volunteer sort of thing. A week after I started volunteering at an animal shelter, I got a job at an animal Kennel. If you have that volunteer job on your application, or resume then any possible employer is way more likely to hire you. It will give you experience, and show that your doing the job not just for money, but also to help out and get experience.
