Seize the last days of summer by encouraging tweens and teens to hone their entrepreneurial skills and bring in some bucks.

Photo Organizer
Most people have loads of unsorted printed and digital photographs. Kids can organize them into albums or online folders—the perfect task for your tech whiz! Ask for $7.25–$15/hour.

Senior Helper
Read the news to neighborhood seniors, water their plants or offer to be a walking partner for trips to the park. These are all small tasks with a lasting and fulfilling impact. Ask for $5/hour.

Babysitting Broker
Your teen, already an experienced babysitter, can round up responsible kids in the neighborhood and act as the point person for sitting services. Since it’s in demand year-round, this business can extend way past summertime. Ask for $12/hour—$10 for the sitter, $2 for the broker.
