[quote=Anonymous]No, OP, sorry. I would not let a 13 year old get a real "job." You most likely can't, anyway, because you have to be at least 15 or 16 get a real job. But I would let you babysit, do yard work and other things in the neighborhood. Why can't you ask family to pay? That's exactly where I would start, and then you can build a real babysitting business from there. You might have a special family rate, but in no way should you be expected to do it for free. When I was your age, back in the dark ages, that's exactly how I started. Within a year, I had so much babysitting work that I was farming some out to my friends -- a taking a quarter (as in 25 cents) an hour cut on the pay! Of course, this was back in the day that sitters made about $2.00 an hour.... Good luck![/quote]
