You can't work at your age. Unfortunately, you're going to have to search for things like mowing lawns and babysitting and walking dogs or doing chores.

Sorry.

There are none. Nobody will hire a child to work in their establishment due to child labor laws. It would be illegal of them to hire someone your age, and will simply never happen. Most places hire at around 16, or 17. Some places will take 15, and some won't. Some only want 18 year olds, some don't. Every place is different, but I can also tell you everyone is the same when it comes to a 13 year old employee. A 13 year old employee is a myth.

You can try babysitting or mowing the lawn, but that's all you'll be able to do at your age.

I live in PA and I can tell you that you are not of legal age to work yet. All that you can do is private side jobs like yard work, babysitting, washing cars, or dog walking. Otherwise you will have to wait until your 15.

Truth is, not a lot of people would hire a 13 year old, most jobs you have to be at least seventeen, especially restaurants. But you could post fliers on doors around your neighborhood that you could babysit or mow the lawn, rake leaves. Some more ideas:

Walk dogs
Youth Programs
Grocery store
Tourism spots
Parks
Swimming pools
Day camps/summer camps
concession stands
Ice cream parlors
Newspaper delivery
Sorry I don't live in Pa, but these jobs I'm sure can be found there.

I dont live in PA, but im pretty sure that like Indiana, you cant work at many places at that age. even mcdonalds doesnt hire until your 15, and then you have to have a job permit.

Some ways to make money, would be (if their is something like a blueberry farm or anything around you, you could ask them if they hire 13 year olds.

Also you could do stuff that you wouldnt need to work at a work place, such as mow peoples lawn, baby sit, clean houses.

im 16 and i make pretty good money cleaning houses and mowing the lawn. (i get 120 a month for cleaning one house. i only clean one house though. one day a week. so 30 dollars a week. but you have to see what people are willing to pay you.)

I hope i helped and good luck on finding a job!
