Working at Bourbon & Baker has been an incredible experience that has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. This unique, tapas-style restaurant has given me the opportunity to develop a deeper appreciation for the art of hospitality, as well as an understanding of the craftsmanship behind bourbon production.

I have provided babysitting and nannying services for many families over the years, from middle school to the present, and it has always been a fulfilling and rewarding part-time job for me.

Provided care and supervision for children of various ages, from infants to preteens (10-12 years old), developing a deep understanding of age-appropriate needs and activities.

Developed strong communication skills, effectively engaging with both children and parents to foster trust and positive relationships.

Strengthened patience, adaptability, and problem-solving abilities, handling diverse situations with care, creativity, and quick thinking.

Cultivated leadership and responsibility, managing routines, homework assistance, meal preparation, and conflict resolution.

Demonstrated empathy and attentiveness, prioritizing children's emotional well-being, personal development, and safety.

Maintained flexibility and reliability, babysitting for families occasionally from middle school through the present.

Working at Houlihan’s was a great step up from my previous experience in a diner, allowing me to gain valuable skills in a more upscale restaurant setting. I had the opportunity to learn about drinks, specials, and the finer details of elevated dining service. This experience helped me refine my personal and professional skills, and I truly loved the dynamic and sophisticated atmosphere.

It was my first waitressing job, and it taught me many valuable life skills. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience. It not only helped me grow professionally, but also introduced me to a new culture, making it a truly rewarding opportunity.

I worked as a recreational gymnastics coach throughout high school, coaching children from mommy-and-me classes to middle school levels. This role was both challenging and rewarding, teaching me patience, leadership, and the ability to build strong relationships with both children and their parents.
