Never did babysitting. My first job was a TEMP (that turned permanent) at a Dog Grooming Shop. I was 14 yrs old and entered the clients index card info into the computer database (it was dot promt) and answer phones after school and Saturdays. After a few months when I had entered all 1,000+ records in the computer, it "blew up" and then I had to stay on to start client folders like they have a dental offices with the color tabs.
Three years later, I was hiring, training, grooming, ordering supplies, and filling in for the boss. The summer after high school I even competed in a national dog grooming competition and won 2nd place in my division. I continued to groom a couple days a week for the next 8 years.
