Babysitting is always the simplest, but there's also other minor things. If she doesn't mind manual work she can do things that boys usually do: mowing lawns, raking leaves, shoveling snow. [ Testusername's advice column | Ask Testusername A Question ]

She can go around and ask her neighbors if she can do jobs for them becuase she wants to save up money for something special or ask her parents for job oppertunitys. They will probably help. Good luck! [ sMo0cheZ_0x's advice column | Ask sMo0cheZ_0x A Question ]
Karen answered Wednesday February 16 2005, 4:47 pm: If she wants to earn money, she can start doing extra chores around the house or babysit kids around her neighborhood. Those are the only things that your friend can do to earn money, since she isn't old enough to get a job. If she has trouble saving money, why don't you tell her to give some to her mother so she won't let your friend spend it? Or just tell her that she needs to convince herself that she needs to save it. Hope I helped :)
