[quote=Anonymous]My 13y DD has wanted to start babysitting for years, and I think after going through training she's responsible enough and ready to be a babysitter. She loves working with kids and is really good with them. She also wants to save up for an iPhone (instead of her "junky Samsung", which I had just upgraded her to over this summer after she had a Gabb). The problem is, like most other kids in this area, she's extremely busy with sports and other ECs that take up most of her weekday time and some of her weekends. So far we've had no success in finding families that didn't already have a sitter, didn't want to pay a decent rate (we're talking $5 a hour, vs DD's suggested $15), or who needed a sitter during times she was available. She's now thinking about other ways to make money, even though babysitting is what she really wants to do, but so far hasn't really come up with a better idea (she's scared of dogs and cats so petsitting/dog walking is a no-go). How does your busy teen make money if they barely have any time to work?[/quote]
