Emilie Sinn
Spokane
Summary
I have a very outgoing personality and I am very enthusiastic about working with kids, I have my dream job working with Foster kids and helping them through life situations, sadly it’s no longer possible to make a living off of 40 hours a week so I’m in search for a part time job. In my free time I am very adventurous, hiking, skiing, kayaking, etc. I love the outdoors and sports, I grew playing all kinds of sports but cheer was one of my favorites. I enjoy helping kids not only with life skills but how to have fun and to just be a kid!
Highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.
