Summary

First-generation Filipino American and dedicated college attendee, set to graduate in Spring 2024. Former AFROTC cadet with a proven track record, having completed candidacy for AFROTC detachment 890. A multitasking college student, I have successfully juggled academic pursuits with two jobs as a server/bartender in a high-volume restaurant boasting a seating capacity of 350 guests. As the founder and CEO of Hoo's your sitter, I've demonstrated entrepreneurial prowess, managing over 100 parents and a team of 130 UVA student sitters. My commitment extends beyond academics and work, as evidenced by my involvement in extracurricular activities such as the ski team and ROTC. In my role as Assistant Physical Training Commander during the fall of 2022, I led and established weekly workouts for ROTC, contributing to the overall fitness and readiness of the detachment. Academic excellence is a consistent theme, with Dean's List recognition achieved in Fall 2020, Fall 2022, Fall 2023, Spring 2021, and Spring 2022. My diverse experiences and achievements showcase a well-rounded individual ready to take on new challenges post-graduation.

Work History

CEO

Hoo's your sitter
Charlottesville, VA
08.2022 - Current
  • Hoo's your sitter is a successful babysitting business I founded after gaining recognition for my exceptional babysitting services in the Charlottesville area. My name became widely known through various channels, including UVA grad programs, UVA military family pages, and within the childcare community.
  • Having worked 40-60 hour weeks during the summer of 2022, I faced challenges in accepting new clients due to high demand. Instead of turning down opportunities, I identified a niche and reached out to UVA female students seeking babysitting jobs for extra income without long-term commitments, aligning with our busy schedules as college students. Building a clientele of over 100 parents, I currently manage a team of 130 UVA student sitters.
  • I meticulously vet each sitter, ensuring they are UVA students by checking their social media pages and course schedules. Additionally, I verify their vaccination status, CPR certification, and experience with children.
  • Handling tasks such as contacting clients, networking, detailing, and payroll, I operate on a commission-based salary structure. My service charges an hourly rate, incorporating the sitter's pay, with a small percentage retained for my efforts.
  • From August 2022 to December 2022, Hoo's your sitter has achieved an estimated net worth of twenty thousand dollars.
