Take a baby sitting course. Your mom will likely pay for it; they're around $40.00. Once you get that, put your name and number under the babysitting section in your community's newsletter. You will start getting calls in no time.
When I was your age, I babysat almost every weekend until I saved enough to buy the things I wanted. Be clear on your rates. I charged about $20.00 for watching the children while the parents went to supper and a movie. These days, $30.00 might be more reasonable.
Another thing you can do, since you have allergies to grass, is in the winter, you can shovel driveways for about $10.00 - $15.00 each time.
You can also make muffins or cookies and sell them to your parents' friends or sell lemonade from a stand on the street.
There's lots of ways to make $, just be creative. Use your talents to help you decide what you want to do to make extra cash.
Are you amazing at playing at instrument? It's wedding season. If your parents know someone getting married, you could play there for a few dollars (pros get hundreds for playing at weddings).
Are your parents in any clubs (golf clubs, country clubs)? Perhaps you could offer to help them clean for a few bucks under the table. Like I said, be creative. You'll be rolling in dough in no time!! :) |

babysitting? bake sale? Lemonaide stand? Is there a strawberry farm nearby (or any farm nearby) - you can work there picking strawberries. Walking dogs. Dog sitting - feeding pets while the owners are away or at work. Washing cars? |

When I was your age I was always busy trying to make money. My advise to you is to create a demand. If its not sell lemonade in a busy area. ($20) Clean out gutters, walk people's dogs,($5) wash cars, trim headges ($15), Try to get a job at a barber shop, they should hire you to clean it up. |

Look for something that you can do in your neighbourhood that isn't being done.
Helping out the elderly by cleaning or carrying groceries.
Looking after/walking pets.
Cleaning cars.
