Simple ideas and jobs for kids

Be sure the job chosen is appropriate for the age level of the child. There is no need to put your child in danger of working with or for strangers. Between grandparents, aunts and uncles and well known friends and neighbors, there will be plenty of work to go around. Be careful of summer heat for outdoor jobs, and have parental supervision around pools, lawnmowers and the like. Summer can be both fun and with a summer job, it can be rewarding, as well.

Safety And Other Points
Most important for any of these jobs, is making sure your child is safe, so make sure they are old enough to follow important safety guidelines including:

Make sure you always know where they are. Avoid going door to door by themselves. Recommend that they do jobs that they like to do. Be sure they are mentally prepared and committed to do the work they need to do and promise to do.

If there is a cost in setting up the business, make sure they have enough money and know where the money is going to come from. All these jobs should not interfere with normal school work or completing homework for school. Help them set fair prices for the work they are doing.

Tell them to come to you for advice if they need it.

Additional Ideas

Tips For Running The Business
For many of these jobs, have your child print and hand out flyers to be distributed in the neighborhood. As the business grows, references or work previously done could be quoted.

Giving out free samples is always a good way to attract business. For services, offer coupons for new potential customers.
