    Make babysitting flyers using the computer and put them in the library, people's mailboxes, and grocery stores.

    Drum up more business and keep a notebook to schedule when you do get a customer.

    Culver's minimum hiring age is 14 with a workers permit.

    I called many stores because I am 14 looking for a job. This was the response they gave which makes me happy after looking for so long.

    Find a local one go online and apply and go in store to apply or call and ask if they are hiring.

    What I did was Google a bunch of business near my home and found their numbers using Google maps or their sites and I called and directly asked if they are hiring and what age do they hire at.

    Try local grocery stores, pizza parlors, retail stores, fast food restaurants.

    Here's a short list of summer jobs which you can create to generate income:

    1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item.

    2. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour.

    3. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour.

    4. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel.

    5. Visit your nearest beauty salon and ask to be trained as a shampoo person who is also willing to sweep up fallen hair on the ground and do set ups [arranging dye kits, curler holders, etc.] for a set hourly fee.

    6. Become a sign flipper by contacting your nearest realtor. A flipper is someone who stands at a major intersection and flips a "For Lease/Rental" sign in order to attract visitors to an open house or to a particular real estate listing. The hourly pay is at least the minimum wage.

    7. Become a stand-in-line person for a ticket purchasing agency at various entertainment venues, i.e., theatres, forums, concert sites which involves getting up early and standing in line for the later appearance of a ticket agent who purchases top of the line tickets for a particular popular concert. It requires having access to a cell-phone to notify the ticket agent when your queing number comes up. So, call up you local independent ticket sales agency and offer your services for a fixed hourly fee.

    Good luck!

    Fast food because they always need help because they have a high number of people quitting, grocery stores(if they are hiring)....occasionaly a local shop around your town but thats usually unlikely. Fast food is honestly your best bet and they are also usually willing to give you plenty of hours if you want them.
