Summary

My career goals include developing myself further as a responsible adult, being confident and comfortable with my work, and being able to implement a positive change in the world. My passion for helping other people therapeutically has lead me down the path to wanting to become a clinical therapist for children. I wish to see our future generations of children safe and mentally healthy, and I find it beyond fulfilling to engage myself in this field.

Work History

Babysitter

Self-Employed
01.2019 - Current
  • I was watching over my baby cousins for the last few years while my aunt finishes getting her college degree.
  • Other than working in a summer camp as a counselor, this job taught me social skills, how to handle tough responsibilities, and how to work and handle children as an adult.

Camp Counselor

Spark Day Camp
Middletown, NJ
06.2024 - 08.2024
  • I worked in a summer day camp as a counselor for first grade boys for 8 weeks. I was assigned to a specific group of boys with a co-counselor, and we were responsible for taking care of the children all while ensuring they have a fun and safe summer. The day camp is run on a period-based schedule, so my job consisted of transitioning the kids from one activity to another.
  • My group had a maximum of 17 kids, and a minimum of about 11 when some of them were absent. I was responsible for taking care of any minor injuries, keeping an eye on them at all times (especially during pool time), making sure they are all wearing protective sunscreen at all times, making sure they are well fed, etc.
  • Additionally, I worked as a bus counselor and was in charge of a whole separate group of kids in the mornings and afternoons. I had to ensure they were all buckled up, as well as keeping a respectable volume on the bus.

Employee (Register, FE Manager)

Acme Supermarket
01.2018 - 01.2023
  • As Front End Manager of Acme, I took pride in ensuring the floor was under control and guaranteeing the satisfaction of the customers.
  • My daily checklist consisted of counting the safe twice a day, making sure employees got their breaks, stocking the candy and other miscellaneous items on the shelves, and overall maintaining the presentability of the store.
  • Additionally, I was in charge of customer service. My tasks here included money orders, Western Union payouts, lottery returns, selling cigarettes, Drive up & Go orders, FedEx shipments, etc.

Counselor

Camp Robin

01.2018 - 01.2019
  • Spending time with and keeping my eyes on the special needs children grades K-12 in the summertime, making sure they are getting along together in a safe environment as well as aiding them on various fun field trips. I have consistently demonstrated my skills and patience with working with children, especially those who are special needs or resource.
