Work History
Helper
- Ever since I was a small child, I have been a helper to my dad. He is the type to do everything himself before he spends a single dollar to get someone else to do it for him. So, with that being said I have done almost everything possible when it comes to outdoors work. Almost every weekend I clean our pool outside, pull out weeds, clean up the trees, and water all of our plants. In the years ive helped outside, ive also helped my mother inside. I have gained the experience of cleaning very diligently and efficiently, due to my mother being a perfectionist and germaphobe. I have a very well balance of of having skills that I will carry with me into any career I am responsible of.
