My Mom says that she will give me a dollar a week if I keep my room clean every day. Is that reasonable?

Amanda Tarlton

Absolutely. Plus, who knows: Maybe if you keep your room super clean for a few weeks, she'll offer to pay you for other chores, too.

Question

If planning to babysit, what necessary skills or documents do you need?

Amanda Tarlton

Community Answer

You should enjoy spending time with kids and feel comfortable having the responsibility of taking care of someone else's kids. Basic babysitting certification or first aid certification will help, too.

Question

My friend and I want to start a business making cards and drawings but where can we sell them? We can't do it together because we live more than 1000 miles away from each other.

Amanda Tarlton

Community Answer

What a great idea! Sell them online on Etsy if you're over 13. Even if you aren't 13, your parents can help you set up a shop.

Question

If I want to baby sit should I have one of my parents with me just in case?

Amanda Tarlton

Community Answer

No. If you feel like you need your parents with you, you might not be ready to babysit yet. Instead, try being a mother's helper. You'll watch the kids while one of their parents is still home.

Question

What are the materials needed for making handmade sewn dolls?

SunshineSea333

Community Answer

Felt, thread, cotton and you will need sewing equipment too like needles, sewing scissors and pins. The doll can be made out of different shades of felt. Stitch it together with the thread, and stuff it with cotton or unwanted scraps of fabric.

Question

What if you want to make money without a lot of effort?

Community Answer

Try making jewelry or something that doesn't take a lot of time and effort. Or, you could sell things like artwork on the school bus if your school allows it. But usually you are going to have to put some effort into it.
