How old do you have to be to get a job?

My little sister wants to get a job, how old does she need to be? ?

  • So my little sister is 13 (just turned) and she wants to get a simple job that she can do well. How old does she need to be. It can be any job.

  • Answer:

    It depends on where you live, but it's normally at 16 years of age that any establishment will hire a new employee on at the youngest. But she could always do babysitting at someone's home or mowing lawns, dog walking, etc. However, she is definitely still too young to be working at an actual workplace of any kind as of now. Good luck to her, though :) It's a nice thing to see someone so young wanting to work honestly and gain some working experience. You really don't see that often enough ~

She is to young to get a job right now. But, she is not to young to babysit, or help with cutting grass!!

Well obviously she can work doing babysitting or petsitting or working for a family member or family friend under the table, as long as it's not a company I think it's fine. She has to be at least 15 to get a job at some grocery stores but most won't hire until you're 16 and it's hard even then.

For many actual jobs you have to be 15 or 16. I started working at 14, though, so it really depends on the place. But there are always options like making and selling things, housework for elderly people, etc.!

Rather than mowing people's lawns,raking leaves,or something of that sort...she can not get a job until the age of 16.
