Does your child want to earn money this summer? I’ve put together a list of 19 summer jobs for kids, plus discuss child labor laws.
Which is understandable, since there are labor laws in place for this sort of thing (we’ll touch on this in a minute).
But before we dive in? Let’s touch on those labor laws so that you know what your child can and cannot do in terms of work.

Fair wages, number of hours your child is allowed to work, and job safety requirements are all regulated under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Summer is the perfect time for kids to make some extra cash – I know I always used my summers to do this.
I was raised on a dairy farm, and so there was always opportunity to make extra money both around our farm and with farmer neighbors.

Nowadays? There are UMPTEEN number of ways for kids to make money in summertime. And I’m excited to share them with you!
I can’t tell you the number of teens and kids we had working odd jobs on our farm over the years…including ourselves.
Off the top of my head (feel free to suggest some of these to your local farmer – it’s usually helpful to point out to others where you can fit in to help):
Henbrandt Stick The Eye Patch On The Pirate Game
For mothers and group leaders, having a tween or kid come along and help keep an eye on everyone (plus maybe ride some rides with a child who wants to go, as a buddy system, while the other kids do something else) can be really helpful.
If your child is at least 13 years old, then you can use Petsitter.com together to find local pet-sitting jobs. Could involve dog walking.
Help your child to work out a schedule to go through each week for the households that sign up, and communicate to those neighbors what happens on a rainy day/week (for example: we’ll wait two days after a rainy day to do any watering, or something like that).
Emmaus Early Childhood Education Program
I actually did this as a teen, with Tupperware. My sister was a consultant, so she got me selling under her. I went door-to-door for two afternoons, and made $75 in profit!
When I was attempting to work with an infant and toddler, I learned about this thing called “Mother’s Helper”. I was intrigued.
Basically, it’s paying a younger kid and tween who is not ready to watch a child on their own, to help around the house with your kids and such.

I never went through with it, but this would be seriously helpful for your child to do for other mothers with younger kids who still want to be around for the day, but need some breathing space.
Many people have tons of old photos that need to be scanned and digitized (meaning, scanned and made into a .jpg file).
What a great service your child could work on! Check to see if your printer (if you have one) has a scanner included on it (you can also use a smartphone). Help your child learn how to scan in a photograph, and anything else needed. They’ll also need to learn how to price a project out, of various sizes.

Check out your local theaters and ask if they have a role for a child. Even a back-up role. Could be a really fun summer project for your child!
Is there a nursery around you, where your child could work with plants? They could water and feed plants, do various cleanup activities, and other agricultural-based jobs.
I’ve written an entire article on things for kids to make and sell and another on boy crafts to sell, plus I have a free market day lesson plan on how to calculate what they should price their creation in order to make a profit.
Summer Job Tips And Resources For Students
Your child can make up a flyer and get mothers interested in paying for “Park Hour”. This means they still bring their children to the park and stay there with them, but they get to sit on the sidelines and read, work, or do whatever else they’d like while your child plays with the kids.
Hint: a fun marketing activity to get the word out about your Neighborhood Park Hour could be to create a lemonade stand at your local park and hand out your flyers. Here's my best lemonade stand ideas, plus lemonade stand worksheets to help. Summer Jobs for Kids – Around the Home
I used to do this for my parents, as our car would get totally disgusting (and they’d much rather pay me $10 to do it than do it themselves).
Mandarin Dr, Las Vegas, Nv 89108
This can be a real win-win, as you’d have to pay to have someone clean your car anyway, right (well, unless you want to do this yourself)?
Hook up your vacuum cleaner to your outside outlet, give them rags/soap and tools you want them to use, and check out the results to see if there’s anything missed.
Hint: this is especially helpful right before leaving for a road trip…and right after getting home. And your kids can use the extra cash earned as vacation money!
Franklin Crest Dr, El Paso, Tx 79912
I don’t know about your gardens, but no matter if we put black tarp paper down or not, we would still get weeds popping up.
Your child can help you and make a little extra cash this summer by choosing a yard zone (like the flower garden, or vegetable garden) to keep weed-free.
Have your child go through your big ole’ pantry, and make a pile of everything that is expired (yes…they’ll need to go into the dark corners!).
Lyford Isle Dr, Naples, Fl 34113
Do you have younger kids, too? If your older child/tween is decently organized and can get through their own schedule in the morning, then they may be able to help out their younger siblings (and you!) by doing things like:
I do a pretty good job of this…but I would love to pay a child a small amount to spend the time to put each set back together (to the best that they can, meaning, some parts might never be found again!).
They could dig through all of the toy bins and toy areas and make piles of each separate set. Same with books from the same set, which sometimes end up all over the place.
Boxy Top Midi Skirt
Their job, at the end of the day, is to organize all of these sets back together again (as best they can).
And after they make these piles? You can help them to put each set away (either in the original container they came in, or in new bins labeled with the toy set type so that it’s easier to keep up with moving forward).
Have you ever heard of the search engine Swagbucks? They pay you “Bucks” when you search the internet. And guess what? You can use them as young as 13!

Your child can simply switch their internet search engine from google to them, and then earn a little extra money as they go about their internet dealings.
Set up a summer system where you deduct the money from one child's allowance for chores they do not complete, then offer those chores up for completion + earnings to another child in the family.
I hope I've shown you some great options for summer jobs for kids – whether you're looking to employ them around your own house, or to help them find cash-making opportunities in the neighborhood and locally.
