My Very First Job

Forgot to mention in my previous posts that my brother was born when I was 10 years old and I helped take care of him, a little.  Then my cousin and her husband had their first child about three months later, and I was soon doing occasional babysitting for them on some Saturday nights.  I got paid something for the babysitting and I was happy about it.  My cousin had several more children in the next few years and I continued with the babysitting.

[Have also remembered that when I was a child, I responded to an ad for boys and girls from the "Cheerful Card Company;" and I ended up taking some orders from acquaintances for small items and stationery through the Regal company.  I earned a little cash.]
