I am currently employed at Cadence Academy Preschool; I've been there for over a year and a half. I was the lead teacher in two main classes in cadence. I first started off as a preschool teacher, teaching 3-year-olds. I was in charge of making lesson plans and providing materials; I also had to evaluate the children and hold parent conferences. I would often do one-on-one with kids who might have been struggling in certain areas. I loved interacting and coming up with different activities for them; seeing their faces light up as they're doing the activities I planned was always a joy to see. I was in the 3's room for a while, and then I transferred to the toddler room. I am one of the leads alongside my coworker, who is also a lead. We both collaborated together to come up with different activities, and I also help with parents' communication.

I currently take care of an 8-year-old every morning; I've been her babysitter since she was 3 years old. I first started watching in the afternoon, making sure she was fed dinner, interact and entertain her and get her ready for bed. Once she got older, I would help take her to activities, school, etc. I currently only watch her in the mornings, getting her ready for school.

I worked at Tutor Time for two years. I started at tutor time as an assistant teacher. I would help the lead teacher get activities ready, help come up with different ideas, and assist all of the classrooms, starting from infants all the way to school age. After being there for a year and a half, I was able to become a lead because I had college credit. I became a lead in the twos classroom; I was in charge of making lesson plans, evaluating, speaking to parents, holding conferences, and teaching the lessons to the children.

I worked at Ross for a year. I started as a cashier/sales associate. I was in charge of making sure the floor looked nice and everything was organized, speaking to customers and making sure everything was okay for them. As a cashier, I had to make sure the customers were comfortable and that they had a good experience. A couple of months in, I worked in the stock room, helping distribute items into the sales floor and unloading boxes from the delivery truck.

I worked at Chuck E. Cheese for four months; I was a sales associate and a party host. My job as a sales associate was to make sure we were hitting our sales every day, and the customers were happy. As a party host, I had to make sure my communication skills were on par, and that the family had a great experience. I was in charge of decorating their table, explaining the family the rules and ordering their food for them,
