sunshine805 answered Tuesday May 3 2005, 12:18 am: Do chores at home(like wash your parents car and ask for 10 dollars) or clean before your parents ask you to. You could ask your neighbors if they need help with anything(like cleaning a garage) and see if they will pay you.
Hope I helped!

katkrazy answered Monday May 2 2005, 9:11 pm: well you can for starters:
have bake sales
mow lawns
walk dogs
take care of animals while owners are away
water plants
clean pools
wash cars
have yard/garage sales
and about the babysitting, put up flyers, advertising your name, age, phone number, and experiences w/ babysitting or w/ kids. if not, then just ask your parent to list friends from work who need a babysitter. best of luck!!!! ~K [ katkrazy's advice column | Ask katkrazy A Question ]

Every considered pet sitting?
You could also offer to mow lawns for neighbors or run errands for your more elderly residents. You can also ask your parents to start giving you an allowance of 5 dollars per week (which is pretty flexible and reasonable) if you keep your word on keeping your room clean, doing chores, etc.
orphans answered Monday May 2 2005, 7:32 pm: hey get money,
you could do a car wash and at the car wash you could sell goodies like cake and stuff. then you could sell old clothes and toys. also you could do a dog walking job or dog wash. also if you are good at doing nails you could do that on people for about $10 each. or do wraps on children's hair if you know what that is. also make stuff like arts and crafts or draw pictures and sell them! there are lots of things to do!

Mackenzie answered Monday May 2 2005, 7:24 pm: Babysitting would be good, if you'Re up foR the challenge. HoweveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. It'd be good to make shoRe you know *exactly* how to peRfoRm CPR on infants and toddleRs in case of emeRgency, and once that is all settled, you can add that to youR Resume. PaRents aRe moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you. Then tRy making a bunch of flieRs and distRibuting them on the bullentin boaRds at youR closest couple of gRoceRy stoRes; fRee advceRtising -- that's what it's theRe foR. Also, you can tRy putting an ad in the papeR. AnotheR option, you could go foR lawn mowing - big money to be had theRe; geneRally $20.00 - $65.00 peR good sized yaRd! Hopefully I've been of some help heRe. =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
