I have been finding it really difficult to find one. It seems no one wants to hire me. I might be doing something wrong.

most jobs are very picky to who they want to hire, and sometimes most jobs be full and they (the people hiring) don't know that...there's a lot of reasons, how exactly do you present yourself?

It's hard to know if your doing something wrong if you don't tell us what you are doing

That's true. Places who want volunteers are usually a lot less picky.
The other thing that helps is a nice snappy resume, explaining a bit about yourself. Even if you haven't worked, prospective employers like to know if you have any extracurricular activities you are involved in, as it shows commitment. Do you play an instrument, or a sport? This looks good. Have you got awards at school for academic or cultural activities? This also looks good.
Even if you can't get a proper job with rostering and things, if you are prepared to, you can probably get work babysitting (if you don't hate children), or possibly sharing a skill you have. I do maths tutoring and I have friends who teach music.
The most important thing I'd say though is keep trying! I had lots of trouble getting my first job, but just kept applying at lots of different places until I got work.
Also, once you have one job it's lots easier to get another, so even if it's not something you really like, give it a go, and you can get a better job more easily.

The experiance one is rather difficult to get around ... most jobs that require the most experiance you can't get it unless you do the job and they want their inturns to work there for a really long time before they start getting any form of pay

But if you think about a kid, they need structare, and they need to see the same poeple in thier life over and over, so they can bilt up the realationship.

But if you think about a kid, they need structare, and they need to see the same poeple in thier life over and over, so they can bilt up the realationship. I really thought about that as well. if i didn't have about 5 classes a future part time job im planning to do and drama club i would do it in a heart beat but the problem is that my life constantly changes one time im doing nothing another time i have a very full schedule. i don't like getting committed to anything unless i know i could do it no matter what. the worst thing i could do is accept and then give up on the kid after meeting him or her because my life gets crazy sometimes and out of control.
