15. Pet Sitter

Sometimes, a family needs to get away but their pets must stay behind.

Therefore, a family, taking care of the various family pets, needs someone to take care of the animals while the family is away.

Through your child’s social media sites, they can advertise their availability to meet this need by pet sitting animals while the family is away.

 

16. Baby Sitter

Sometimes a husband and wife with children just want to get alone for a couple of hours to enjoy a meal out, take in a movie, etc.

Available online today are virtual babysitting services.

Your mature 10-year-old can provide this babysitting service by interacting with the children that they are watching through virtual technology and interacting with the kids at the other end of the video call.

Of course, emergency numbers would be provided and guidelines would be set up that if the child is away from the computer for a certain small length of time, then the parents would be notified as well.

It is not optimal but if it was a last-minute need then this would work out or, the parents could be in another part of the home and simply want a breather from their children and possibly vice versa.

Therefore, this would be optimal if the parents are still at home near the child but not interacting with them because they are virtually being engaged with by your 10-year-old.

 

17. Be a Friend

For a variety of reasons, there are people in our community who are isolated and are not able to get out or interact with others.

Often, they are senior citizens who may or may not have their grandchildren but the families may live a considerable distance away and not up able to interact consistently.

An online way for your 10-year-old to interact with these individuals and get paid a little bit of money would be to interact with these individuals who are lonely and long for human connection.

This can be accomplished through Skype or Zoom.

When these conversations, reading to the senior, etc. occurs you can be in “earshot” of the conversation and monitor accordingly.

 

18. Read

Another online option as it relates to interacting with lonely people and particularly seniors is the service of reading.

Through Skype or Zoom, the 10-year-old can set up a time to interact with the senior and read to the senior a story that the senior citizen would thoroughly enjoy and would be thrilled with the interaction.

Although you wouldn’t necessarily ask for money, the senior more than likely would want to make a donation or contribution to the young person for their time and effort.

 

19. eBook

Quite possibly your child is gifted with writing ability.

Maybe they are writing a story, keeping a diary, have written some poems, etc.

This creative work can be incorporated into an e-book and listed on Amazon for sale.

To learn more about creating an e-book you can go to KDP.

 

20. Music

If your child is musically inclined and is gifted in this area then perhaps an opportunity that may present itself is to create or be involved with music.

One of the best places to get started is through Spotify but would need your involvement as a parent.

 

21. Video Game Tester

What could be more natural than a 10-year-old playing a videogame?

To take advantage of this relationship, you as the parent can search for videogame testing jobs or by being a home game tester through an online site to find the right job for your 10-year-old to play games and test them out.

A website that may be of interest can be found at https://community.panelpolls.com/iGamelab.php.

It appears that young people, ages six through 12, can participate with a parent.

 

22. Influencer

An influencer is an individual who fully maximizes the use of social media platforms, provides interesting and quality content, and subsequently has a large following.

Consequently, the individual who hosts these platforms has become an influencer and what they do or say is followed by others.

Marketing departments of businesses are keenly aware of those with large followings and as such try to work out agreements where they work with the influencer to incorporate links to their products on their platforms.

When the followers click on these links and purchase something then the influencer receives a portion of a commission of the money that is spent.

 

23. Manage Social Media

If a 10-year-old is knowledgeable about social media the way that it operates, its functionality, and its social media power, they can help others with their social media platforms.

Through this online process, they can teach others about social media and ways to improve its use for the individual.

 

24. Podcast

A podcast is like a radio program except that the podcast can be downloaded onto a person’s smartphone and listened to at their convenience.

Your 10-year can set up a podcast service.

The first step would be to determine the focus of the podcasts with suggestions being something that your 10-year-old enjoys.

Examples could include:

• Sports
• Technology
• A hobby they enjoy
• Video games etc.

The podcasts can be a single person (monologue) or an interview with someone associated with the field of interest.

Editing can be done through www.audacity.com and the recording can be accomplished through a recording app on the smartphone.

Through SoundCloud, an account can be created to upload the various recording sessions.

 

25. Deliver Newspapers

One of the traditional jobs that were performed by a 10-year-old was the delivery of newspapers.

It seems that a good idea would be to continue to deliver newspapers by a 10-year-old but have the 10-year-old compose their newspaper with news for kids and then deliver this newspaper via the Internet by having people sign up for the subscription and deliver the newsletter through e-mail.

The tag line or the “hook” quote for the e-newsletter would be a new entrepreneurial job for a modern-day kid.

 

Personal Story

At the age of 10/11 our son announced to us that he wanted to take on a paper route.

For him to do this we needed to sign a paper permitting him to do this along with some other stipulations that were detailed above are signature.

It was a mixed moment for me because it was at about the same time in my life that I had taken on a paper route and with his wanting to do this it seems like it was a rite of passage somehow.

Of course, I was happy because it was a new stage in his life and came with a whole new set of roles and responsibilities.

Of course, we gave permission and my only piece of advice or word of caution to him was to remind him about interacting with his customers and regardless of how nice the customers may seem not to go into their homes or take any gifts from them without our permission.
