JESSICA FINLEY

Denver,CO

Summary

I am an enthusiastic and hardworking individual that has been employed full time since the age of 15 years old. I consider myself self-motivated and able to thrive in teamwork based tasks as well as singular responsibilities. I have 12 years of professional child care experience and 15 years of restaurant experience. My childcare experience began when I started working at summer camps as a recreation leader when I was 16. From there, I got hired to be a private nanny. At 19, I started my professional career caring for toddlers and infants. I am a huge fan of Montessori based learning and being outdoors with the kiddos as much as possible. I have always been described as a people person and aim to spend my time helping little ones by creating a safe space for them to learn, develop, play, and grow. My restaurant experience spans over 15 years which includes titles such as a shift lead, server, and bartender. I am an enthusiastic and reliable professional who takes pride in providing excellent customer service and creating memorable dining experiences for restaurant customers. Skilled in anticipating customer needs, addressing complaints and resolving issues in timely manner. Maintains focus and positive attitude in stressful situations and high-volume environments.
