Last summer I started a daycare called sugar and spice. It was fun being around kids playing and laughing all day, not your typical job. Getting this job was exciting because it was my first job. I worked for that daycare for about 4 ½ month close to five. When I tell you it was the best experience as a first job ever, the children were funny and outgoing always put a smile on my face. I liked working there because of the paychecks; they were four hundred dollars every two weeks. I use to be in the mall every week with my friends, spending money and having fun.
