Creo que puedo encontrarte algo que hacer.
Creo que puedo buscarte algo que hacer.
(Voy) a ver si puedo buscarte algo que hacer.

Even more direct (You should find something to do):
Debes buscarte algo que hacer.

Rusty's options are good; here are a few more.

i think i can find something for you to do

Creo que puedo encontrar algo para que tú lo hagas.
Creo que puedo encontrar algo para entretenerte.

But the best all-around translation would be what Rusty said:

Creo que puedo encontrarte algo que hacer.

Both are correct in your original phrase. But creer is also to believe not only to think. That's why, I think / I believe, Rusty and David changed your option. These are also correct translations to your phrase:
  • Pienso que voy a encontrarte algo para hacer / algo para que hagas.
  • Creo que voy a buscarte algo para hacer / algo para que hagas.
