I took care of multiple dogs and cats over week long periods. This entailed maintaining the household along with monitoring the happiness and wellbeing of the pets.

• Exercised animals regularly with walks and rigorous play activities.
• Maintained clean and safe environment for pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being at all times.
• Cleaned out and scooped litter trays and food and water bowls to provide clean environment for pets.
• Communicated professionally with pet owners via phone, email, and text.
• Built trust with clients by consistently demonstrating reliability, punctuality, and attention to detail in all aspects of pet care provision.
• Ensured timely feedings, grooming sessions, and exercise routines for pets in accordance with owner instructions.
• Conducted regular home visits to check on pets while owners were away, providing peace of mind through routine updates.

I worked as an assistant stage manager during one production, put on by a community theatre organization. The Woodland park players are an organization supported by members of the North Seattle community, who work to put on one musical a year with the goal of donating all proceeds to local arts programs. I managed people, clothes, sets and props. This role involved interpersonal communication skills, an ability to manage a large scale project while balancing academic responsibilities, and building upon my leadership abilities. I worked the following year promoting a secondary production on social media. I coordinated graphics and photos to help sell tickets.

• Maintained tidy and organized environment to comply with cleanliness standards.
• Operated and maintained machinery and equipment to manage functionality and performance.
• Exemplified leadership qualities while coordinating group activities, delegating tasks effectively, and maintaining open lines of communication among team members.
• Demonstrated adaptability by quickly adjusting to changing circumstances or unforeseen challenges during volunteer events.

I babysat for a neighbourhood family for several years. They have three daughters, ranging in age, from an infant to a 10 year old. I performed household tasks, entertained the kids and kept everyone happy and safe over long periods of time.

• Organized and cleaned home after activities by picking up toys and straightening up play room.
• Reassured children when upset providing emotional support and stability.
• Bathed, dressed, and helped with teeth brushing as part of bedtime preparation.
• Handled conflicts between siblings effectively using conflict resolution techniques resulting in more peaceful household.
• Developed strong relationships with families, establishing trust and rapport to provide quality childcare services tailored to individual family requirements.
