I had lots and lots of babysitting jobs. I loved to babysit. I babysat the sweetest little boy named Tommy C. He was an only child that was such a sweet kid. His mom paid me .75 an hour. The neighbor behind them paid me .50 for 4 kids that were not so sweet. I also babysat for a teacher friend that 40 years later we are little & big sisters to each other. Her name is Jan. I also had worked at a farm for the Perry family in Warm Springs. I rode my bicycle miles to get to and from work. I worked in a tomatoe shed. Vonnie(she was so sweet to work for) told me we could have all the tomatoes we could carry home. I wore a yellow fabric back pack and filled it full every time I worked there. She said one day I would be sick of tomatoes. Not true I still love them. I miss those days of long bike rides to work.
This is a great thread and a lot of warm memories revisited. Thanks for starting this one :-D
