Summary

Cleanliness in a gym is extremely important, impacting member health, satisfaction, retention, reputation, and bottom line. It reduces germ spread, protects expensive equipment, creates a positive atmosphere, and builds member trust. 90% of customers are more likely to retain their membership if the gym is clean.

I learned these things after being an unsatisfied member due to cleanliness. I am the kind of person that steps up to help when there is a need. I love to do new things and educate myself on whatever is before me. Saying I'm resilient is a huge understatement. I will be successful at whatever I do and have already conquered so much. I love to design, inside the home and especially landscaping. No matter what else was happening in my life, I have been a homemaker. I take pride in the cleanliness and organization of my home. At home I'm known as "the cleaning fairy" because so many little things get done that keep our home exceptionally clean that no one else thinks about. I would be proud to bring that attention to detail and consistency to your business.

Work History

Foster

Kitsap Humane Society
Silverdale, Washington
04.2021 - Current
  • Foster bottle-baby kittens, sometimes a mom cat and a litter, and other times, dogs.

Nanny

Private Home
Poulsbo, Washington
09.2022 - 09.2023
  • Before school, Mom would drop the child off at my house. Before I took him to school, he would eat breakfast and we would watch YouTube videos learning about all kinds of things. After I picked him up from school, he would have a snack and we would watch more educational videos and, weather permitting, do an outdoor activity.

Pet sitter and dog walker

Keeping Up With Jack
Kirkland, Washington
04.2019 - 09.2019
  • Some clients had cats that needed care, but most needed dog walking. I walked dogs 5 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Owner/Operator

Cathy's Pet Sitting of Jupiter
Jupiter, Florida
04.2017 - 08.2018
  • I started a very successful pet sitting business. I did vacation care in client's homes and some daily dog walking. The bulk of my business was boarding in my home and daycare services. I did all the communication and meetings with prospective clients. I did the booking and performed the services. I also built the website, did my own marketing, and completed the billing and payment portion.

Specialized Foster Parent

All For One Pet Rescue
Riviera Beach, Florida
04.2013 - 08.2018
  • I was heavy into cat rescue, as my neighbor was the founder of the organization. We had many cases at the same time, separating them in different rooms. I cared for bottle-babies, feeding every few hours, some mom cats with a litter, and adult cats- some with serious behavior issues that I fixed. I eventually began giving the vaccines myself and getting deliveries of kittens straight from the trappers. Before we moved away, I borrowed 18 traps from her and took my family on a rescue mission for our local Humane Society and ended up keeping a kitten that was less than a week old.

PTA volunteer

Limestone Creek Elementary
Jupiter, Florida
06.2013 - 03.2017
  • I started volunteering in the classroom and quickly became Volunteer Coordinator for the school, followed by Business Partner Liaison. I helped run many of the PTA fundraising events throughout the year, eventually becoming PTA Communications Chair. I was on the School Advisory Council and was an assistant to the Librarian, completing all of the teachers' laminating projects and the library inventory. The last year I volunteered I had 700 hours.

Foster

Leon County Humane Society
Tallahassee, Florida
10.2009 - 03.2013
  • I fostered dogs, primarily with health or behavioral issues.

Foster

Humane Society of the Treasure Coast
Stuart, Florida
03.2009 - 09.2009
  • This was my first foster experience. I fostered kittens and still have our oldest cat, Otis, who is 17.

Shipping and Receiving Supervisor

Stuart Jeep Mitsubishi Volkswagen
Stuart, Florida
01.2001 - 12.2002
  • I started there delivering parts, which I loved because I got to learn the area to which we'd just moved. Then I got a promotion to working in the warehouse. It was a busy triple dealership, so there was a lot of shuffling parts between the buildings on the golf cart. On Monday mornings, the semi truck would make a delivery and I'd spend the day receiving and organizing the parts. I would complete orders for delivery, do the annual inventory, and collect obsolete parts for destruction. At the end of the week, I made sure the bathroom was clean, the warehouse was swept out, and the main counter in the warehouse was tidy. I loved this job but unfortunately had to quit because of a failed spinal fusion.

Cashier

Sav A Lot Pharmacy
Margate, Florida
04.1999 - 11.2000
  • Kept the prescriptions area organized, rung up customers, answered the phone, helped customers in the store, and kept the store organized and clean. Weekly I would put back the old prescriptions.

Cashier

Mobil Gas Station
Hallandale, Florida
06.1997 - 02.1999
  • During the end of the work day rush in a heavily populated area just north of Miami, I rung up items from the large convenience store, gas pumps, and ran the lottery machine. After the rush, I mopped the floor and made sure the bathroom was clean. On Sunday mornings, I would stock the entire refrigerated section, clean the area around the pumps, and empty the trash.

House Cleaner

Carnation Cleaners
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
01.1996 - 06.1997
  • I would get the client list for the day, drive there, and clean for 4 hours. I had several clients ask for me after the first clean.

Cashier

Walgreens
Cooper City, Florida
06.1995 - 01.1996
  • I worked here after school until 11 pm. I would cashier the front and tend to the photo counter. After closing, we would "face" the shelves, pulling items to the front and making sure it was tidy.
