the old fashioned way was to put a card in the post office window - lots of supermarkets have community boards these days. You could also join local Facebook groups or Nextdoor and offer your services.
I'd start with babysitting - as a dog owner I wouldn't use a walker without the right insurance

Have you spoken to your School to get advice?

Could always try dishwashing in a local cafe at the weekend?

If you knew the 13 year old and their behaviour, would you?
