I work five days a week cleaning office buildings, kitchens and bathrooms. This includes sanitizing all surfaces, refilling dispensers, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming and garbage removal. Detailing of my route includes dusting, detailing sinks, using stainless steel wipes, mopping stairs, wiping walls, doors and washing windows.

As a dental assistant I would begin by greeting, taking x-rays, using an intraoral camera to take photos if needed, taking impressions, updating patients charts and medical history using dentrix and taking notes of any questions or concerns so that I could notify the doctor before starting the appointment. I would ensure the patient was comfortable and informed and would assist during fillings, extractions, crown preps, root canals and cleanings. Outside of appointments I would sterilize and setup equipment and operatories, organize instruments, restock products, assist the hygienists and work in the lab creating retainers.

I worked at the front desk and would check in and seat guests, stock work stations and menus, answer phone calls, plan seating arrangements, and take or cancel reservations.

I would monitor the dog's behavior using patience and a water spray bottle as they played, take dogs to the outdoor area for scheduled potty breaks and followed a schedule for sanitizing the area. I would regularly clean up messes, mop, and help with general chores. I would assist with drop offs and pick ups of dogs.

I worked a temporary summer position as a cashier while visiting family. I would run the front register, check out and bag orders, prepare and package delivery or pickup orders, stock products, and sanitized the store.

I cared for two kids, ages one and three and helped around the house while the parents worked from home. I would get the kids ready for the day, plan out activities in or outside, encourage and help complete daily tasks, clean and prepare meals. I encouraged learning and creativity with different activities and had good communication with the parents that taught me how to balance my time, properly assess situations, stay calm and patient and manage conflicts.
