71. I babysat a lot of kids based on a flyer I took door to door.
People didn't even know me from adam. My parents only asked to know the address and phone of where I was going to babysit. Anything could have happened to me - and almost always the man of the family drove me home just the two of us in the car well after midnight. If something had happened to me I can't imagine how painful it would be for my parents - especially if someone decided to pass judgement on their parenting skills.
I bought my home almost 30 years ago on a downpayment saved by evening babysitting, evening house scrubbing, cleaning out the garages of strangers.
