Ideas for kids earning money
My 12 yr old has a school camp and a sports camp later in the year. Both around $350+ each. I told her she needs to start earning money to put towards it now, or she'll only be able to go to one of them.
What jobs would you recommend as a good way to earn money as a 12 year old outside of the home? E.g. where it's not me paying her to do something.

Babysitting, yard work (mowing, weeding gardens, raking), dog walking, garage cleaning, "mother's helper" where she helps out with child watching/picking up/laundry... I have no idea if any of these are options but they are some things Cheyanne started doing around 11/12 years old.

I like Marie's 'mother's helper' idea. I once hired a girl to entertain my kids for a couple of hours while I made a bunch of phone calls. It was so nice to be able to talk without interruption!

Baby-sitting is the first one that comes to mind.
House-sitting (like water people's yard/plants, gather their mail, etc.) House-cleaning or car cleaning Reading buddy or tutor for little kids |

Is she crafty? Around here, some kids sell their items at the farmers market - of course, it's the parent's booth because of minor working laws... or marketed to friends and families.
Maybe have a bake sale? Does her other friends need money for camp? Maybe they can go in together and host a bake sale at church? Pet sitting - I did that when I was her age... neighbors would go on vacation and I would go feed their cat.

Wash cars.
Mow lawns. Walk dogs. My son buys things at garage sales and resells them on eBay. He's made some good money doing this.
