Hi Eva, I like that you're already thinking about making money at 13, that kind of initiative is exactly what sets people up for success later! Babysitting is probably your biggest money-maker, especially if you get Red Cross Babysitter certified because parents will trust you more and you can charge around $10-15 an hour. House cleaning is another great one where you can offer services to neighbors and charge $15-20 per job depending on the house size. In a rural community like Garden Valley, there's also tons of opportunity for yard work, mowing lawns, raking leaves, shoveling snow, stacking firewood, pet sitting, and helping elderly neighbors with errands because word of mouth spreads fast in small towns. For waitressing, Idaho labor laws are strict about formal restaurant work at 13, but you could help out at local community events or small cafes informally, especially during summer tourist season. From my own experience, my earliest work was less about the specific job and more about building a reputation for being reliable, because once one person trusts you they tell five more and suddenly you've got steady gigs. Make a simple flyer listing your services, post it at the local store, school board, and community spots, and don't be shy about asking family friends if they need help because most people love supporting a young person with hustle. You've got this!
