Summary

I am a dedicated person that loves to take care of animals and help out others. If someone needs help I will do my best to figure out how to help them. Taking care of the pets while the owners are away on a trip is fun and rewarding to do. I enjoy playing with the animals, making sure they are comfortable and at ease while their owner is gone. I would follow routines and instructions left behind by the owners to ensure the best care for the pets.

In my short time as a TA I helped out the teacher by keeping the classroom organized and maintained. The classroom was the Special Education room so I would help out with engaging and help the kids to participate in activities. The teacher would send me to go make copies of papers when needed if they needed an extra hand or could not leave the classroom. Overall I enjoy to help others and keep a positive atmosphere.
