She has always been complaing on how she has no money, so i told her get a job. What's some like things she should do? No necessarily a job but something that will earn money.
Answer
Allowance for doing chores/extra chores. Helping elderly neighbors with yard work, house cleaning, taking out their trash. Mother's helper or babysitter (I wouldn't hire a 12 year old to babysit, but a mother's helper can keep the kids busy while mom cleans). She could make and sell jewelry (Michael's has really nice beads, but they are expensive).
She could have a vegetable stand, either from a garden she grows or make a deal with a local farmer to buy and resell their produce. My brothers and sisters and I bought corn and other vegetables from a friends farm at a discounted rate and had our own vegetable stand when we were younger (although idk if the health dept. would stop you now). Vegetable stands run by kids can make a lot of money, if you live on a main road or have a close friend or relative that does you would get much more business.
You could do a mother daughter friday night babysitting service-like a parents night out. Get a group of kids to come over for crafts (Michael's has $1 crafts, or cheap kids for multiple kids), do a movie, play a game, make it like a party for the kids and charge like $5 per kid for 2-3 hours.
Depending on your states rules, she may be old enough to get a paper route, many smaller/community papers have young teens doing paper routes. She could stuff and bag the papers and you two could take a walk together to distribute (she can go alone if you feel comfortable).
You could put flyer in your local church or senior citizen community center for meals cooked and delivered (you could have like a set menu for each day of the week, do dinners M-F and lunch and dinner Sat, Sun- same meal for both lunch and dinner-some older people each their 'dinner' at noon anyway), or even just do set days. Have orders due by like 5 pm the day before and you can cook together and deliver together. Give deals if the person is ordering two meals instead of one. Find a way to make the price look appealing so people will want to order a home cooked meal and not have to worry about cooking/cleaning. Let her keep the profit after your grocery bill is paid. Maybe the first weeks profit can go to paying off old bills and having a 'fund' to purchase new supplies with so she won't have to borrow from you, she can just use the money she already has and replace it with next weeks earnings.

Answer
I'm turning 13 on May 31st and I'm probably gonna do the salon thing listed below. Have lots of fun! Here are some ideas.
Surprise for the birthday guests:
Birthday person's parent goes to each house to pick up the guest and places a black cloth around their eyes and led to the vehicle.
From there the parent drives to a planned party area such as a camp, etc. While blindfolded they are asked to act like a chicken, moo like a cow and other things...Use your imagination. This should be videotaped.
If camping is planned, the tents and food should all be set up.
Next day go went back to the birthday person's house and watched the home movie of all of the events...How embarrassing!!!
Girl Friend Party:
(a special day for your friends' birthday day)
Blindfolded her and take her to get her haircut pay for that. Next pick up some videos and put the blindfold on her again. When you get to your destination (a made up salon in your house or a friends) take off the blindfold. Decorate the area like a salon...you will need to make signs, get streamers, and put accessories (make-up, hair products, facial products, nail products) on display.
Have some new makeup for you girl friend and do her nails, make-up, and hair and if possible pick out an outfit for her to wear. She never know what was happening next.
When you're done and have watched a movie, blindfolded her again and take her out to dinner with your male friends.
Titanic Party:
A formal affair. For girls let let them dress together and make each other up.
Have servers and a Captain present for an elegant dinner. Find young musical entertainers to provide the background music.
After dinner have an adult can man the black-jack and roulette tables.
Hire a Caricaturist to draw the guests (this will be their party favor).
Fortune Telling Party:
Hire a palm reader or have an adult dress like a gypsy and have their palms read. Also use tarot cards to learn to tell fortunes. Serve fortune cookies. For party favors give bangles, moon and star items.
Write Horoscopes: pass out pencils and paper to each guest. The "astrologer" asks them to write various items, the paper is passed to each player AFTER each item is written. Turn the paper down, so no one can read what is above. When completed, the last person signs their name to the bottom. They are then turned in and read using the 'story.' See link at horoscopes to get more information.
Mall Fun:
Scavenger Hunt:
Prepare the night before by going to the mall to find or think of things for the hunt. i.e.: number of stairs, escalators, things in shop windows, lost receipt, etc. The day of the party give each team a list of the items and within a specified amount of time see who comes up with the correct answers/items.
Party Favor / Game: Give each person $5.00 and see how many items they can purchase in a limited amount of time.
Hit the pizza parlor (or other) afterwards.
Regression Party:
Party like a 4 or 5 year old. Play traditional party games like pin the tail on the donkey, musical chairs, hot potato, drop the clothes pin in the can, scooping cotton balls from one bowl to another-blindfolded., etc.
Limo Romp:
Hire a limousine. Pick up the party goers and take them to a restaurant for dinner. Best best would be an "50's Diner" someplace were they can play goofy games. Make sure the limo is stocked with soft drinks, music, etc.
Hotel Party:
Get a two bedroom hotel room. One for the kids and one for the parents. Make sure it has all the amenities like pool and game room. Bring lots of popcorn, sodas, videos, etc (or if you prefer room service). Let the maids clean up the mess the next day.
Clothes Exchange and Redo:
Good for girls of roughly the same size, or a couple sizes. have everyone go thru closets at home and find clothes they don't want or that don't fit, clothes, purses, bags, shoes, socks, anything...Buy bits of ribbons, buttons, fabric, zippers, patches and sewing supplies. when everyone gets to the party, make piles of clothes that are around the same size. Then everyone can sew on the ribbons, iron on patches-make the clothes look different, maybe even buy some tie-dye, a kit should be around $20.00. Then swap clothes.
Beauty Salon:
Take the girls to a beauty salon to have their hair and nails done. Or do up their hair and nails at home in conjunction with a slumber party. For an activity, decorate pillow cases. Purchase one plain white case for each girl.
Disco Party:
Rent a disco ball, strobe light and get together some 70's movies. Have your friends come dressed for disco. Serve TAB
Games & Activties:
Are the above just a bit much? How about a regular, stay at home, do it yourselfer. Here are a few games and activities.
Murder:
Prepare slips of paper, enough for each player. All will be blank except two. One will be marked "Murderer" and the other "Detective". Let the play
