Almost all but 2 or 3 before I was 24 years old!
They all taught me something....even if it was just, "I will NEVER, EVER do THIS again."
The ones I'm most grateful for are the nanny/day-care worker jobs and the nursing home job. Those taught me a lot about the importance of taking care of your own...babies, kids, parents. They were really, really hard for lots of different reasons...but I wonder if I would have the knowledge I have now, without knowing firsthand....that's what I'm grateful for.
I see quite a pattern of working around sugar. Donuts, pies, ice cream, candy....hmmmm.
yes looks like you had the most fun around sugar.... i wonder why?

I am a nanny and would love to hear some of your stories and adventures of nannying.
ReplyDeleteWhen did you ever work at a Victoria's Secret factory? How come I never knew that?
