[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the suggestion of posting to a neighborhood listserv or bulletin board offering services besides babysitting. In my neighborhood, young teens offer to rake leaves in the fall and to shovel snow in the winter. They also do petsitting for neighbors who are away on vacation-- my 12-year-old just earned $10 a day for three days of caring for a neighbor's pets, and she was ecstatic. Another neighbor offered to pay my 12-year-old to help her organize her playroom, because my girl is very tidy, organized, and good at deciding what to keep and what to throw out. And my girl works as a "mother's helper" once or twice a week for another mom in the neighborhood. She also has had bake sales and lemonade stands to raise money, but those require a lot of time and don't bring in very much profit. My husband has offered to pay her to research a technical project he's interested in completing at home-- he wants her to find the resources he'll need and learn the basic process by looking online. She's already gotten started on that.

Good luck to you![/quote]
