What was your first job?
I started babysitting when I was 11, which seems so young now-a-days. I fed multiple kids, bathed them, put them to bed and clean up the house before the parents came home. You don’t see that today, but we didn’t have cell phones and IPods distracting us. During high school and during college, I worked at Tops. I worked at Youth For Christ and did registration for the Niagara Youth Conference and then worked at Circle C Ranch. I’ve also nannied for four NHL families.
