I started babysitting at 12 (I know so young!) and I watched the same little girl (she was six months when I started) until after I graduated from college!!!
When I was about sixteen I worked at a tanning Salon with all my best friends. Yuck! Good old Long Island
As soon as I turned 16 I got a job at a small fabric store within walking distance to my house. I stayed there 10 years, through highschool and college and even after I got a “real” job.
My dad has a flower stand - now he just opens on holidays but he used to open weekends too. I worked for him down the stand starting probably around 11?
My first legit job was as a waitress in a banquet hall. I ended up working for them for 10 years, I loved it!
I was 13 and started babysitting everyday after school for a family who had 4 kids under 5 and mom was on bed rest with #5! I loved it! They had all boys and #5 was a surprise-ended up being a girl!
Babysitting, then cashier at a record store (loved it, now it’s long gone), then at library. So funny to think back to those times - I must’ve been such a flaky employee! Ha!
I worked for a couple of nonprofits my dad was on the board of when I was in high school ($12 an hour for data entry/ stuffing envelopes) and then when I was 17 I got a job at hollister where I was paid $6.75/ hr. Ha!
I worked at a Frozen Yogurt stand in the mall. It was this tiny corner stand that was so cramped when they had two of us there. I was 14. Then I did a pool side concession stand during the summer for 3 years.
Aside from babysitting, my first real job was a T-shirt shop! I worked with all my high school friends and it was a blast! I still keep in touch with the owners! : )
I was 18 and stocked shelves at Michael's at 3 in the morning

I worked at a few summer camps, then at a family appliance store, then my first “real” job was a hostess gig at a new restaurant in my hometown when I turned 16.
I volunteered at my local library as a teenager, and the summer I turned 16 they needed a temporary employee due to various reasons. So, I got paid for a summer to do the same things I had been volunteering to do!
Tutored in highschool but my first real job was at Disneyland in all the stores. They asked me to audition for Mulan because back then I looked alot like her but the audition was when I was starting college so never auditioned. One of my regrets in life but college was a good idea too
I started working in a video store on my 16th birthday. I had to make sure the tapes were rewound when they were returned. The concept of a video store is going to be difficult to explain to my little when he/she is older.. *be kind, please rewind*
My first job was working at Storyland (amusement park mainly for younger children) when I was 16. I absolutely loved it and worked as a rides operator most of the time which involved a lot of dressing up as characters! Example: Heidi, Cinderellas coachmen, tropical shirts for the back of the park, farmers, the full blown characters walking around the park like humpty dumpty It was a pretty fun job!!
