If you can handle infants and children( not everyone can ).Yes, but be careful have your parents keep the # and address of who , where your babysitting.Have your parents take you there.I don't mean to scare you . but babysitters have been hurt by going to a stranger house or getting a ride home after sitting. Babysit for people the family knows .Don't jump on news paper ads ! And always tell some one if a regular sitting job calls last minute, so some one knows your there !

being 13 is a tough age... I had my first job when I was about 14 and I had to have my parent sig on a card saying I had their permission to work at that age.  I got a job as a cashier in the local market and it was really good for me.  Now since you said you didn't want to work in a "place" I would say that there isn't too much options for you... \n\nYou could be a baby sitter,  that pays pretty good for a 13 yr old and it is sometimes fun (depending on the kind of kid/s you are watching)  and then there is dog walking  - or dog grooming/bathing.  Some people would be willing to have you do it for them - especially elderly people.  \n\nYou would have to pound the pavement a little to get the word out though.  Make up flyers saying what you are offering and start posting them on the light posts all around your community.  I would laminate them so that the rain won't ruin them a week after you post them.  Then as time goes on you will get calls and if you are good at what you are offering - your customers will refer you to others and you will get more business that way.  \n\nGood luck.  \n\nBTW - not all home based businesses are a scam... if you start one yourself you can work from home - I do.  I have my own website and sell from it all over the world.  So if you are fired up to make it happen - you can!!  \n\n:)

Child Labor Laws are federally mandated, so it dosent matter what state your in.  The answer to your question is you cant employ children under 14 or 15.  Its tricky with family businesses, however.

Usually, you can work for a family member or a family business at any age. If you need some cash, maybe you could babysit or mow lawns.  If you're just bored, try volunteering at your local library. Once you have volunteer experience, you'll be more likely to get a job later on, when you're old enough to get a work permit.

There are a lot of opportunities for preteens to get work.\n\nWhat do you like to do? Base your choice on that.\n\nYou can wash cars. How about cleaning your neighbors homes? You could water and mow the lawns and feed the pets when people are gone on vacation.\n\nDo you like bikes? Make a sign to put in your neighborhood that you can clean or repair bikes. \n\nAre you creative? Make note cards and sell them to your neighbors.\n\nThink about what you enjoy and find out what you can do that fits well with what you like.

I'm sure a 13 year old can find many jobs in Alabama. I doubt any of them would be legal.

you should talk to your parents about this and suggest that maybe they have friends that you know that might like you to babysit occasionally. its a good way to get started and a little extra pocket money.

Ahh, the good old days...just kidding! Actually, I can't legally get a job yet either. Babysitting is an EXCELLENT way to earn money, as long as you're responsable. Taking a babysitting course (I did) can improve your chances of finding a family that will accept you. Also, doing odd jobs for older neighbors perhaps...shoveling, raking, planting flowers, and other things they can't do. Good luck! (and don't loose hope, you'll be 16 before you know it!)

You have 2-1/2 months to work on that.  If you are too young to work in a traditional job, you could babysit, dogwalk, do odd-jobs for neighbors, sell something that belongs to you, etc.\n\nIf you get an allowance, save every penny of it--if you get a gift of money, save all of it.\n\nGood luck!  Your mom is a lucky one.

The federal fair labor standards act restricts the jobs that children can take.\n\nAt the age of 18, you can get what's considered "dangerous" jobs, such as at  a manufacturing facility.\n\nAt 16, children can work in foodservice jobs.\n\nAt 15, you can work in "non-dangerous" jobs, like being a cashier at a retail operation (think Target or K-Mart).\n\nAt 14, you can work in agrictulture businesses\n\nUnder the age of 14, you can babysit or work a paper route, or work in a family business regardless of the method of work.\n\nAnd yes, there are limits to the hours that people under the age of 18 can work.\n\nAnd homeschooling makes no difference.

Here in NJ you can get working papers at 14 years old.  My son had his first job at 14 last summer and just filed taxes for the first time.\n\nOtherwise, you could babysit or pet-sit.  You could help neighbors with housework or yard work.  you could sell stuff you don't really need -- like old video games (make sure your parents are OK with you getting rid of those items first).  If you have clothes you've outgrown, you could sell them to a consignment shop.

I don't think you're legally old enough to get a job, except for babysitting and mowing lawns.

That's bull that you need a job. You THINK you need a job. You are 13, relax, don't work until you absolutely need to, which is usually at least 16 if not 18 or even older.

There are jobs that you can do, but 99.9% of the time you will need a parental concent. You can always start by fast food or retraunts, gas stations, or even newpaper routs, or even better become someone assistant doing odd jobs.
