14-Year-Old Work Options (Moultonborough)

[thinkxingu]

My daughter is 14 and is looking to get a job of some kind this summer at the lake. Given we'd need to drive her, it would need to be somewhat close to Arcadia Campground/Moultonborough Neck Road.

Any thoughts of who might hire that age in that area?

I'd try Trexler's and The Boro. But if memory serves--it's really tough to predict at that age/level. Best is for her to walk into every possible place with a smile and ask to speak with the manager. Keep us posted!

How about Jojos?

[thinkxingu]

We'd thought about JoJo's, but they say 16+.

Trexler's and The Boro are good suggestions, but Flying makes a good point that it might just be worth a drive from camp to see what we come across.

how about starting a babysitting biz? I would think there are plenty of weekenders/vacationers who want to go out for dinner (or whatever) and need a sitter for a couple of hours. Possibly plenty of opportunity right at Arcadia, likely with people you know/acquaintances - important since you would need to vet clients before you sent your 14 yo over to a stranger's place...

Market Basket will hire a 14-year old if they get a work permit signed by their school. Google it .... lots of info on this.

My daughter is not, ummm, the babysitting/touchy-feely/emotional type. She's more the rough and tough horseback rider/gym rat!

I've suggested she do odd jobs at the camp—which was incredibly lucrative for my son—but I think she wants something formal for some reason.

Market Basket is too far, but Heath's might be on the tour if we go that direction.

do kids still mow lawns or did miracle farms take all that over

[TheTimeTraveler]

The Village Kitchen would hire her, and you're not that far away from that location.....

Jojo's is owned by Heath's, so I suspect the 16+ rule applies to both.

Red Hill Dari?

Moulton's Farm?

When our son was 14 he got a job picking weeds and veggies at Moulton Farm. G

I do know you cannot allow a child under 18 to mow lawns.

Many years ago, my sister started as a server at Center Harbor Diner at 14 years old.

Probably too far but Town Docks in Meredith hires at 14 for ice cream and trash/yard. Bonus you can drop off and pick up by boat which is awfully fun for them

The scoop id JoJo's is under new management which begs the questions as to their relationship with heath's.

Well, JoJo's is still listed on the Heath's website, and Heath's logo is still on JoJo's Facebook page. Plus, in pictures from a JoJo's post just a day ago, a Heath's is sign visible on the store.

Maybe a new manager, but not a new owner.

We have a pretty full seasonal staff at Birch Hill, but we might be able to use her on the driving range. As volume ramps up getting into June, we have to constantly pick balls to keep up with our floating driving range. She can reach out to Mike in the Pro Shop if she's interested!

Thanks for reaching out!

And thanks for all the ideas, everyone—I appreciate the thoughts.

This is my favorite thread in ages. I feel like I have a kid trying to find her first job. We're gonna need updates all summer long...

I'm glad I could add some positive content!

We'll be working on this over the next couple weekends, but there are a few flies that might get into the ointment:

1. We're heading to Yosemite and Disneyland for twelve days, which could be a problem.

2. She's committed to the gym—we joined Galaxy to fill in for the summer—and weekend hours, when she is mostly available, are short.

3. We don't want to break up our afternoons/boating/playing time, etc.

I'm really trying to get her to do landscaping, golf cart washing, and other odd jobs at camp—which would give her the most freedom—but she's resistant to those. This is most likely because she's stubborn...like her dad.

Onward!

Weird...your summer plans don't seem to have given my vicarious pleasure a whole lot of weight...

Have fun at Yosemite--it's awesome!
