subject: Ways For Children To Earn Extra Money During The Summer [print this page] When your children are at home during the summer, they will want to do things and buy things. There is nothing wrong with buying them things but at the same time you want to teach them how to earn their own money to buy some of the things on their own as well. What are some good ways for your child to earn some money this summer?
You have to decide whether or not you are comfortable with the idea. You don't have to have them work if you don't feel you want them to. If you do decide they can, there are many ideas.
Your child can mow some lawns or do some basic yard work. There are many who just want their lawn mowed each week and cleaned up a bit. Many teens can do this pretty easily. Talk to your neighbors or post an ad in the local paper.
Babysitting is something that many children can do. Find friends that know you and your child since there is going to be a trust issue. This way your child can watch some other children and be earning some cash at the same time.
Dog walking and pet sitting is something that your child can do. This is fairly simple especially if your child is already doing this with your family dog.
You might have a friend who runs a local business. Ask if your child can come a few days a week and help out. This will not only help him or her earn some cash but they might also learn a few things about that type of business.
If older, your child can go out and get a job. Generally speaking you have to be at least 16 to do this.
Your child can be a pool cleaner for your neighbors. This is a simple job that has to be done every few days. This is something easy especially if close by.
House sitting is something else they can do. Your child can get the mail, clean up their yard, water the plants, feed the pets, and other tasks for your neighbors that are out on vacation.
During the summer, your child can earn some extra cash. Find out what some good jobs that your child can do that will help with this but not take up so much time either.
