How does a 12 year old girl get a car washing job?

Answer 1

The age at which a person may obtain employment differs by locality, but is largely governed by the federal child-labor laws. Many minors may obtain employment with an amenable employer by obtaining a work permit with parental approval. It is my understanding that this requires the employer to affirm in writing that the job exists, and that they will not exceed the permissible number of hours for the minor, or the number of days, or interfere with school; and, the anticipated pay-rate may be spelled out. Once all of the concerned parties are in agreement and the application is signed, the county clerk of the county in which the business is located can issue the permit FOR THAT EMPLOYER, FOR THAT EMPLOYEE, UNDER THE TERMS LISTED, AS APPROVED. Several copies are usually made, one of which is kept in the employer's files. This is, as best I can remember, the basic outline of how things are handled. Hope it helps. jb

Answer 2

I would recommend babysitting, though you'll have to remember that many people want babysitters 16 or older. Try to take a babysitting course if that is available in your area to learn the basic safety of caring for a child. There are very few other jobs that a person your age can obtain. Other possibilities are throwing newspapers or doing yardwork/mowing, but you might be very cautious who your customers are, depending on where you live. Doing odd jobs for neighbors and friends would be safest at your age. Good luck.
