Hi Michael,
unfortunately, you will be hard-pressed to find an employer that will hire a 13-year-old employee. Fast food places typically start at 15 or 16. If you are still in school you may need a work permit as well depending on your state. You will want to check with your guidance counselor at school to see if they can provide you with more information on that.
However, that doesn't mean you can' earn money. Lots of young people are making money taking on tasks in their neighborhood.
Offer services such as lawn mowing, dog walking, and car washing. You will want to ensure that you show up and do a fantastic job so that more people recommend you and continue to use your services.
Ask your parents to create a profile for you on nextdoor.com. It is a neighborhood app where you can post to your neighbors all the things you can do to help them. They can also share reviews of your work and suggest you to other neighbors.
