 Babysitting is a great way to make extra cash. But, my family is pretty strapped for money too, and you know what really helps them? Having my sister (15) voluntarily help out around the house. She works hard to keep the home under control so that my parents don't feel like they have two jobs - their careers, and the household. That way, when they come home from a stressful day, they have a nice, clean house and me making dinner.
I also think that working hard at your school work and getting involved in some after school theatre could be great. Your parents want you to succeed, they also want you to be happy and to pursue your dreams and I'm positive they don't want to spread the stress of their financial woes to you. Seeing you singing your heart out in My Fair Lady will make them feel like great parents and proud to have you as a daughter.
They are lucky to have such a great, warm-hearted kid. Good luck, sweetness!

 Thats cute. I kno 14 year olds with jobs but there all illegal aliens not that i care but its possible if you find some unscrupulous business person, i cant believe i spelled that rite with out spell check, any way i doubt you will be able to get a job making enough money to matter if your parents jobs cant do it what can you do a few dollars here and there is just a drop in the ocean. Theres good news though if you really think you can sing you should pursue that not to become famous though but because thats your passion. fame may not be so great it comes with great sacrifice you can blow your noes with out ending up on the cover of some magazine or talked about in some blog, being rich on the other hand is great but its often harder to keep a fortune than to make it. I suggest use the internet to find the resources you need for this music thing where im from you can send your demo into the radio station and if they like it they will play maybe you have something like that also theres myspace you can set up a page and put up some tracks the basic equipment is not very expensive for you can use anything to record to start of i suggest try setting up a youtube acount as well. Alot of talent was discoverd this way. I wish you luck and as for trying to help out im sure your parents would mutch rather you be a kid and follow your dreams.

There are some kids your age that attend my church and the have helped there families out by doing some simple things like bake sales or running errands for the elderly, cleaning there homes even MAKE SURE your family knows these people if you choose to do that. Mowing there grass or raking there leaves. Shoveling snow and even babysitting. There are tons of things you can do. First you need to think of a plan and then sit down with your parents and discuss them. As a parent I tell my kids that it is OUR job to support them however, if they want to make some money I will allow them to put it in a savings account and if by chance we ever did need to use it that it would be replaced. It is our way of letting them feel as they are helping and who knows one day it may or one day they will have saved up enough money to but there own car.
