• I worked for two years in the infants' room, helping the leader maintain order, cleanliness, and keep the babies calm. I also performed arts and crafts with them on several occasions. I also created lesson plans and performed assessments for the children. I had a good relationship and communication with the parents.

I worked in the toddlers' classroom for a year. I helped the teacher maintain order and cleanliness. I observed the children while they were working on their lessons and helped them organize after the lesson was over. I held circle time with the children, where we sang songs, read a book, or I conducted a lesson so they could observe me. I had the opportunity to learn a lot about the Montessori method and the benefits it has on a child's development.

It was my first job with children, where I learned many things I know today. I worked during the summer in several classrooms, including school children who were at summer camp.

I worked at a food court in the mall. It was my first job when I was still in high school. At first, it was part-time, and then I worked full-time. I worked at the register, collecting payment from customers.
