Jobs I have had...not all were paid positions, but all of them were WORK!


1. 10 yrs old....a neighbor pays me to take her laundry down form the line fold it and put it into her house. (she worked) I am afraid to put it into her house...to be in a house where no one is home freaks me out....geesh!
NOTE: This fear renders me useless for babysitting lol
Teen years:
