There’s the limonade stand. Not much $$ in its typical business model (card table at end of driveway, waiting for passers by).
I made a bunch of money (age 17) painting address numbers on curbs. But we had a car. Besides, I think our burb has regulations against it.
She’s a little too young to be a baby sitter.
Any ideas?
Make crafts and sell them at craft shows… there are all sorts of crafts - pot holders, framed photos, dolls, TP covers, lots and lots of things. She could devise her own unique thing and sell a gazillion.
My daughter, who is 12, started at 11 being what is called a mother’s helper. It’s sort of babysitter lite.
She takes care of an older child, say 2 or 3, while mom spends time with baby or getting things done around the house or on a conference call at work, etc. Mom is in the house in case of an emergency.
There are fewer of these jobs around, I think, but there are moms who probably don’t even know they could use one, too.
bat her eyelashes at some other 11 yr olds…
naw i dont know. if she rides she could busk or something.
A paper route is perfect for her age…i had one back then. Pays pretty well, too, for an eleven year old.
Can she unicycle or juggle? Have her work the mall with parental supervision.
Dog walking
weeding/gardening
mowing lawns with manual push mower
Fence painting
I’m like some LMAOnade please.
But in all seriousness, have her deliver stuff, like newspapers or whatever.
she could receive a larger allowance
dude, that not cool
but really she should do the craft thing, if she likes that, from my town delivering newspapers is hard work, they have to get up and fold them and stuff
Honestly, honestly sorry.
And your point is?
sell lemonade…at NAUCC!!
That’s It!!!
lookin forward to that delicious lemonade!!
Leaving an unattended 11year old girl in a large public area to busk people for money(not to mention busking is illegal in many states/cities)? Sounds real smart…
Mowing lawns is good money, but probably a bbit too much in the way of manual labor for a young’un.
Who said anything about unattended?
I figured at least one of her parents would be there too…
That’s a good thought. But the Houston High School Band Boosters has the concessions (at HHS at least). Part of the deal allowing us to use their track.
Newspapers in our city are delivered by grownups only. Some new rule.
I like the crafts idea. There’s something there.
That is completely silly!!
Around here, the only adults who deliver newspapers are the mentally disabled ones who can’t do anything else, or the ones who didn’t go to college…about 9-% of the paper carriers are between about 10 and 15 years old.
Watch Paper Moon, it’s full of ideas.
Tatum Oneil was one of my heros when I was a kid. I always wondered why her parents named her after a potato, though.
