How To Earn Money For A Doll Post 2-4

Hi guys. So as I recently promised, I would be having two posts on how to earn money for a doll, accessories, or whatever. I know that the title says 4 posts, but, just a reminder, I will be doing 2 posts and my BF Elizabeth at http://4thgradeguide.blogspot.com/. She's already done 1, check it out!
In this post I will demonstrate two ways to earn money, through a kid job and a classic.
Since this is the first post in the post series, one of these will be a bit of a no-brainer, and the other will be a cool way. I will not state "Get a job." Because I am totally aware that kids and young teens may not be old enough to do a job. Now I may do jobs kids can have but you'll just have to wait and find out. Oh, and I'm not going to say "chores" because that's something I think is very known of and it's not like your parents have to pay you. Remember: SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Our first way is to do sitting. Not the sitting that we do with chairs, but the sitting that is babysitting, pet sitting, and/or plant sitting.
Babysitting had two ways. One is where you either watch a child at your house or go somewhere to watch the child. This is the way that I would recommend for older kids. The second way is kind of like you babysit with one of your parents or guardians around. This is good since you are watching the kid but someone is there to assist you.
Either way you go, it is good to have a few things.
*A Red Cross babysitting license. These are great since when parents see you are "certified" they'll be eased and know that you can take care of their child.
*A love for kids. Duh!
*Love for fun and the will to play lots of games.
*A caring heart.
With pet sitting, you watch a pet, usually while someone goes away for a little while. If you love animals this is a great job. Of course you have to be very gentle because a pet is like someones baby. A few things that are great to have are:
*The will to walk a pet if it's a dog.
*Responsibility. You have to be responsible to care for a pet, same with watching one.
*Caring heart.
*Loving heart.
With plant sitting you water, feed, or tend someones plants. Truly something a nature lover would enjoy doing. But when caring with plants you must know that you can't over water, underwater, or forget to tend to the plants. Plants are delicate and can require a good amount of care. Responsibility, care, and the will to do something are qualities that can come in handy with plant sitting.
What about the money? Well, with plant sitting, prices shouldn't be too expensive, but you need to determine the price. Considering the number of  plants and days that have to be cared for, and the length of time, that will help you determine the price.
For babysitting, discuss that with the child's parents. Chargeing by the hour may be the smartest way to go.
For pet sitting, once again do the "deal with the owner" thing. Charge by the length of time for caring for the pet.
Does it seem like those were multiple ways? Well, I suppose they are, but I think that they can be categorized by sitting. Next up we have...
A Treat Stand!
A treat stand is where you set up a stand somewhere (near parks, pools, and malls are soem places I reccomend trying), and you sell treats. You could see lemonade, tea, hot chocolate, or go a bake sale way and sell cookies and other treats.

Another way to host a treat stand is if you, your family, or your neighborhood, host a garage sale. While people browse they can enjoy yummy treats.
I know those ideas were simple and classic, but they are ways to earn money. I'm not sure when the next way to earn money will be posted, in fact, I'll confrence with Elizabeth so we can determine a scheadule.
Oh, and one quick note: At the end of my posts from now on I will post a quote or word of advice.
I do not own pics in this post.
