Summary
As a High-School student, my work experience has been mostly part time as I have to schedule around school, yet my skills have allowed me to manage work and life very well. My friends and family would describe me as an outgoing, and social person. I enjoy making people feel safe, comforted, and welcomed. All of these traits have been very important in my time working with kids. On top of that, I have been able to keep strong client relationships with the children I babysits parents and the owners of the pets I pet sit for. I have years of experience with using a planner to organize my life and have proven to others that I utilize time management skills. In all of my work and life experience I always find a positive outlook and a way to connect with others.
