I have organized and filed documents, as well as, processed checks and receivables for my dad's business. I do this at least every couple months and I am paid for it.

In the past, I have babysat for members of my family and I was recently offered money to babysit the children that my cousin is a nanny for. Previously when I have babysat, I cared for the 2 kids I was watching by monitoring them, cooking them meals, helping with homework, being a positive role model, and encouraging them to stay on a schedule that is beneficial to them.

• Monitored children's play activities to verify safety.
• Played games, worked on puzzles, and read books to young children.
• Helped children complete homework assignments and school projects.
• Reassured children when upset providing emotional support and stability.
• Taught children basic life skills, manners and personal hygiene.
• Stayed current on toy and child-related recalls and safety warnings.
• Guided school homework and read bedtime stories to support development.
• Taught children to organize toys, wash hands, and share by leading by example.

Working as a lifeguard at Cowabunga Bay, I gained many life skills that will be important for my future such as team bonding, teamwork, safety supervision, rule enforcement, education of others on rules, completion of tasks in a timely manner, and cooperation. I received awards for my achievements working there and I enjoyed my time ensuring the safety of the guests at the waterpark. I worked until the end of the season at Cowabunga Bay, and helped clean up the park on the day it closed until next summer season.
