If You Are Fifteen To Eighteen

This One Is For You

Your street already needs what you can do. Lawns that got away over winter, a dog nobody has walked today, a car, a shed, a kitchen table where somebody’s little brother is stuck on his homework.

Doing it for your neighbours means real responsibility, real trust, and a reputation you build on your own terms, a few doors from your own front gate.

Fifteen is the age you can start, and that is the law rather than our rule. Under fifteen, an employer needs a permit — so we wait for you, and your fifteenth birthday is the day.

What You Could Be Doing

  • Lawn Mowing
  • Elder Companions
  • Party Help
  • Yard Work
  • Car Washing
  • Cleaning & Organising
  • Tutoring
  • Babysitting

Pick as many as you like. Add hours that suit around school.

How It Works For You

You Set What You Charge

Your price is yours. You put it on your page, a neighbour reads it before they write to you, and nobody haggles you down at the gate. Where you would rather look at a job first, you say so, and that is an answer too.

You Keep Every Dollar

A neighbour pays you directly, however the two of you agree. LocaLilly asks you for ten dollars a month to be here, with your first month free, and takes not a cent of what you earn.

You Write Your Own Words

Your words, in your voice, about the work you actually like. Every sentence on your page is one you wrote yourself, and you are met here rather than measured.

Your Neighbours Are Verified Before They Reach You

Every adult who can message you has paid a dollar on a real card in their own name. Your street travels with you and your house number stays yours.

Your Messages Are Yours

A neighbour writes to you and you answer for yourself. Your parent gets a note each week saying who has been in touch and how often, and they read that rather than your conversations.

One Grown-Up Comes With You

Somebody who looks after you opens the account and stays on it, and that is how a neighbour knows this is real as much as it is how you are looked after. Bring them to the same screen and it takes a few minutes together.

Start Your Business Whenever You Like

It begins with your first name and your suburb, and it is yours from that moment. Each answer after it is saved as you go, so you can stop halfway through and pick it up next week exactly where you left it.

Six moments in all, and the last one brings in a grown-up. Start now and you are in the first hundred — three months free rather than one, counted from the day you open.

Create Your Business

Bring a grown-up with you. It takes a minute and they only need to read it once.
