Getting a job can be a great learning experience for a child. It's important to find the right job. Do you have any job ideas for kids that are safe and will teach them responsibility?

Hello! I wanted to mention one idea for a young person to make money. The floral shops need people to fill the water tubes--hundreds of them! Especially here just before Easter, Father's Day, graduations and weddings coming up. Try going to the shops and asking if you can help fill the tubes and other chores there. My son did this for awhile, and we would have buckets of water and tubes, filling them as fast as possible! You might also try at printing shops and small companies that you wouldn't have to be 16 to work at. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Just a note to young men and women posting on this thread. Be very careful posting your email or phone number in a public forum. Even one as trusted as this one. The first place you should look for babysitting jobs is in your area, advertise your services to family members and trusted family friends that are approved by your parents. Let people in your family know you are available to work. They may have babysitting jobs, they may need some yard work done.
Hi Robin,
This is really the wrong place for a young person to look for a job. Ask around the neighborhood if anyone needs a babysitter or talk to someone at church. There may be people that need someone to take care of their kids after school.
Try beauty shops, shampooing hair, or sweeping the floor. Maybe you could try housework, yardwork, any kind of cleaning work, including washing cars or ironing. Even at business where you are too young to work, they may let you sweep floors. Other options include: dog walking, bathing dogs, helping people set up their yard sales, helping someone with organizing their garage, helping to serve & cleanup at weddings & large parties, and cleaning pools. Elderly people need all kinds of help. Then there is: delivering newspapers, helping someone sort their personal papers, dusting, picking up fallen limbs after a storm, helping to move furniture, cutting the grass, or raking. Learn to give really good haircuts. Cook for the elderly. Make throw pillows, totebags, and pretty aprons & sell them. Bake cakes, cookies, or casseroles & sell them. Open a lemonade & sandwich stand. Sing or play an instrument for special occasions.
