[quote=Anonymous]Military brat raised mostly in DC area. My SAHM was very close to our neighbors - so close that during family emergencies, we’d stay with each other’s families. One neighbor was my (paid) babysitter who ran an in-home daycare.

No volunteer work that I can think of - my mom claimed she was too busy (and she was) when the DC were young. Later in life she got politically involved and worked at polls, made phone calls, hosted parties for local candidates. Also she did a monthly service project with her church.

I, on the other hand, am an award-winning volunteer. Started at 12 volunteering in a hospital. I think being a Girl Scout inspired me because I loved volunteering when I was even younger. Continued with service groups in high school and college.

Extensive (but specific) program organizer and volunteer at DC ES. Over a decade for a local charity in hands on help.

Now in a paid position for another organization I volunteered for - decided I loved the work and the mission.[/quote]
