I was a piano teacher for 32 years. I retired 10 years ago. It was the greatest job because I was always home with the kids.It didn't pay the best, but I loved it.

RN here. I work double weekends. That means I put in 30 to 32 hours in two days. Then I have all week to sew, that is after I wake up on Monday around 3pm. I love the week I have off except for the nuses meeting I have to go to.

I am a retired hairstylist. I have worked at other jobs too, like 9 years for the telephone company as a frame attendant. Clerk in a Wholesale Beauty supply store. Raised my brother's two girls. Last 6 years have given care to my Grandfather who is now 98 years old and still going strong.
Wife to my wonderful husband of 20 years. Passions are fishing, cooking and quilting/sewing. Life is good.

I run a school bus company - family owned for over 65 years. I work with my mother (89 yrs old and she still shows up for work everyday to make sure everything is running smoothly) and 2 of my children. My grandfather started the business during World War II. My granddaughter (too young to drive) helps out in the garage - cleaning buses. That makes 5 generations that have worked here.

Lets see, I have worked as a gas station attendant, lab technician, factory worker, classroom aide, high school secretary, Admin. Asst, credit manager, and choir director. But My real career has been as a wife (40 years) Mother of three for 39, 37 and 36 years, and left the workforce 13 years ago today to assume title "Grammy." That is the best job and I hold that title for 6 of the most wonderful kiddos you would ever want to meet!

I'm a wife and mom of three grown children and can't leave out my one grandson and the other grandson that will be "coming" in October.

I am retired from teaching Special Ed. Preschool which I absolutely loved and still have to get my "kid fix" by volunteering in our local kindergarten.

Retired RN in Home Care as Nurse manager for 10 years, then case manager for WC. But being retired is the best job ever had. Being Mom, wife and Nana are the most important parts of my life.
