Summary
Over the past three years, I have provided childcare for Ellie Enns of Ellie Enns piano school. During this time I learned how to manage high-stress environments, defuse tense situations, and handle many other difficult conditions. Along with this, I have been running my own crochet business, where I design, manufacture, and sell all of my products. With this, I regularly do in-person markets and events, which has taught me how to handle situations with customers in a timely and polite way. Running my own business has also developed a strong sense of leadership and a hard-working attitude.
