    Babysitting (if you have a level head on your shoulders), mowing lawns, weeding, gardening, helping to clean a house, accompanying people, particularly the elderly, when they grocery shop, walk dogs

    I remember trying to find a job at age 12. It was not easy. I finally found a job delivering newspapers. I also mowed and trimmed lawns for friends of my parents. Occasionally, I did babysitting but most people wanted girls to do that. I had friends who maintained swimming pools.

    I tried to get a job as a grocery-store bagger (they used lots of them back then), but they wouldn't hire anyone under 16.

    A paper round is probably the best. Or maybe a car washing/valeting service. There are laws against working under the age of 16 in the UK. I don't know where you live but certainly here in England, different local authorities have different rules so you would need to get in touch with them to find out the legalities. Generally hours are limited depending on age and certain types of work are prohibited. Good luck!
