Curious..., what did you do before daycare?
Omg, I'm 61 so do you want the whole list?
-Clerk Typist for County Welfare Dept.
-Medical Secretary
-Secretary for Temp. Agency for 2 years (really interesting cause I went to a lot of different companies)
-cashier at Kmart
-Stay at home mom till my children were in school all day (BEST job of my life!)
-Subbed in the public school system as various things such as paraprofessional in special ed classrooms, school secretary at my children's school, librarian, etc. This was after my kids were in school. That way I was home when they were. Also did TONS of volunteer work mostly at the school.
-part time jobs in the school systems
-full time at a Montessori preschool; I worked as a teaching assistant and also ran the before and after daycare there.
-Moved to Florida and worked in the public school system as a paraprofessional again for only a year. Then started doing home daycare and have done it for about 18 years full time.
I think that's all!
