Are your kids trying to earn money? Here is a story about a group of children I am working with to help them become more self-sufficient. No longer do they have to ask for money from their parents, and neither do your children!
Charlie and Lisa are a couple of twins that live in my neighborhood, and they are only twelve years old. My husband and I first met the two of them when they were selling chocolates door to door as a fundraiser for their school.
Several months later, the twins knocked on our door and asked if we would be interested in letting them walk our dogs for us. We had two dogs, Jayla and Thea, and we just didn't always have time to get their walks in, being that we also had a three month old baby to take care of. They told us that for $3 per dog, they would walk them for forty-five minutes. What a great deal!
Charlie and lisa swing by our house several times a week now, and sometimes even more frequently. They not only walk our dogs, but they even take our son along in his stroller. They only charge us $6 even when they take our little boy along.
I told the kids that they should consider expanding their little enterprise after I heard another neighbor complaining about not having the time to take her little poodle on regular walks. After a few months of preparing the kids' presentation, they were walking all the neighbors' dogs every week. Not only does this teach kids the principle of earning a dollar, but it teaches them how to nurture and care for animals.
One night we were discussing how the twins could diversify their enterprise. We decided that they should consider offer several packages to the customers such as weekly or monthly dog-walking rates. Not only would this stabilize their income, but it would make things easier for the customer as well.
The twins were telling me yesterday about how performing services like this is their passion now. They said that when they turn 13 next month they are going to take a course and become certified babysitters. I am so glad to see my little entrepreneurs growing up and moving on to better things. Also, now I have a babysitter to watch my kids!
I'll let you know how things turn out for my two little business people!
