For as long as I can remember I have been babysitting. As the oldest of four kids I began helping my parents with my brothers and sisters at a young age. What started out as a family chore turned into a paying job in high school and college when I began babysitting around my town. Usually I received around $8 an hour regardless of the

We’re debating re-joining the gym at a significant cost or working out at home with free online exercise videos. So far, I’m digging Jillian’s Michael’s 30-day Shred on YouTube and loving the zero cost. But I also miss swimming at the gym and the social aspect of working out.
