Now, it’s time for our super special, scream inspiring, ghoulish Halloween special! Just in time to get those little gears going in your head! Halloween is a huge bank breaking season, with parents and families spending thousands of dollars on make up, costumes, candy, treats, foods, travel, decorations, and more.
How Kids Can Get FREE Food When They Have Very Little Money
I remember being a kid, and how hard it was to get your own food when you had little or no money. This can be pretty annoying on game day or Friday afternoons before having sleepovers with friends. Luckily, there ARE ways around paying for food. While they might not work for every day transactions, they can definitely help out when you truly need them.

Cleaning Car Interiors as Kids: Becoming an Automotive Detailer
Cars get messy all of the time, especially for families with small children. Most of the time, these people simply don’t have the time to clean out their cars. This gives kids a massive opportunity to earn money. Most households have two vehicles, giving a much bigger chance of earning at each home. All you have to be able to do is clean out a car, vacuum it, and shampoo it (or use canned shampoo products) if necessary.

How to Collect & Sell Walnuts, Pecans, Almonds, Hazelnuts, and More!
Nuts: we love them in thousands of different foods, yet many of us truly do not realize just how expensive these nuts really are! Small bags of shelled nuts can go for upwards of $7; and that is per POUND. In shell nuts will cost over $3 per lb, making it a perfect business opportunity for the kid with a little too much time on their hands. This is a super easy job; it just requires that each kid learn about the different nuts and trees, then takes the time to find the trees and collect the nuts. Selling them will be a bit easier, especially since most nuts are falling when they are in season during the fall.
Now that the oh so beautiful spring season has arrived, it’s time to bust open those blinds, swing back those windows, blare some music, and clean while the crisp spring breeze blows all around you! Every single one of you might moan and groan at the thought of cleaning; but if you have ever cleaned like this, then you know just how revitalizing, energizing, and fun it CAN be if you let it! Here is our final line up for the big spring jobs that any kiddo can do!
Getting Those Gardens Weeded for New Spring Seedlings
Everyone loves a garden full of fresh, juicy vegetables and fruity, floral displays that take the nose on a vacation to a far away place; but, the hard work must be done to see the benefits, something many people just don’t want to do. Almost anyone will pay you to weed their gardens, and some of those people will pay a LOT of money in order to avoid it. Try charging $10- $15 per hour depending on the size of the garden. The bigger it is, the less you charge. For small gardens that may only take an hour, try charging $20. It’s an annoying job, so it can pay well.
Dusting High and Low
When people do spring cleaning, one of the biggest things they forget to do is dusting. Offer to dust people’s homes for a low cost. It’s a super easy job, but it just gets forgotten amongst all of the other cleaning. Ensure that you build a nice list of items to dust, as you do not want to forget anything. Here’s a good list to start off with:
Ceiling Fans
Crown molding
Lamps
Televisions
Consoles (gaming, movie, music)
Collectibles
Shelves
Wall art
Picture frames
Tops of Cabinets
Bookshelves
Curtain rods
Blinds
Doorway Moldings
Etc.
Dusting Yards for Pests & Bugs
When spring comes, critters follow suit. There will be bugs and pests coming from every corner of the yard, waging war on the family and the home. You can offer a special yard dusting service for the people in your neighborhood! There are particular pesticides that are sprinkled, or dusted, onto yards to eliminate ants, ticks, fleas, spiders, and other crazy pests. Be sure that you figure in the cost of the product as well as how long it takes you to do each yard. BE SURE THAT YOU WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AT ALL TIMES AND ASK YOUR PARENTS BEFORE YOU EVEN CONSIDER A TASK LIKE THIS. You will need gloves, a face mask, goggles, and boots. You don’t want to get any chemicals on you.
Painting Fences as a Job for Kids!
Everyone loves painting; it’s fun, and it’s relaxing! Painting does require a bit of patience and skill (which you quickly get the hang of), so be prepared to work on this sort of task all day, if not for several days. Fences need to painted once every 1-5 years, as the sun fades the colors and the weather chips away at the paint. Paint can become expensive, but I would recommend that you insist that the customer purchases the paint. This way, you don’t have to purchase it and the customer gets the color they want. It also allows them to store the rest of the paint for the following year.
Has your family or neighbors ever left for vacation? Were there plants or pets left behind that needed attention? If so, this is one example for the demand for house sitting. This is a fairly easy job, one that is pretty hard to mess up. Any kid can do this- just make sure you follow these easy steps to ensure that you are doing a great job as a house sitter!
Any Kid Can Be a Thanksgiving Helper; It’s a BLESSING for Busy Families!
Every single year, every single family, in every single neighborhood, someone forgets something that they need for the Thanksgiving holiday. However, there’s one massive issue: they are way too busy to go get it, and just can’t leave the house with everything cooking as their company lounges about! What they really need is a second person. Someone who can take care of small tasks that are INCREDIBLY easy, which are impossible for them to do themselves. Kids and teens are PERFECT for this, as they have no real commitments or obligations! Are you ready to make a quick buck in a fast paced helper job?
