Get Fast Jobs
Do you need some money, but are too young to be officially employed? Then read this article.
Steps
- Permission. Get your parents permission, as you will probably be going over to other peoples houses, or bringing others into your home.
- Pick a job. Decide what services you will offer. Will you babysit, mow lawn, trim hedges, clean swimming pools or walk/wash dogs? Choose something that will be manageable.
- Price it. After you figure out what you'd like to do, come up with some reasonable prices, such as $2.50 an hour for babysitting, $5 for a lawn-mowing, $10 to wash a dog etc.
- Advertise. Never put an article in the newspaper. A lot of psychos read the paper and you don't want them to show up at your home. Instead, create fliers and put them in the mailboxes of people you know and trust, along with a note asking them not to tell strangers about you or your work.
- Tell your parents. After you have a client, tell your parents when you will be doing your job, the number for where you will be, the arrangement for drop-off and pick-up, and what your client will do in the meantime. It may be helpful to create a code such as, "Did you feed Sam?" to mean that your parents should drive you home because the people you are babysitting for are drunk or any other harmful situation.
- Enjoy. Enjoy, spend, or save the money you made, and be proud of yourself for earning your reward through hard work!

- Take a friend with you to make it more fun. Just don't forget you're on the job!
Warnings
