Tia-Lenee' Poindexter

• I worked on the floor and at the cash register, for the most part I made sure the shelves were fully stocked

• I was a camp counselor for the youngest age group, I never worked with kids before, but once I started there at the age of 17 I seen myself having a career with working with youth. I had a small job there only working for 5 hours a day because i was still a teen staff.
• I went swimming, accounted for attendance, and worked a little bit in the front office.
• The ratio was 1 to 5 because the kids were in K-1

• I started working for the YMCA in the Conservatory Lab lower school in 2021 during my senior year in high school. I worked with K-2, I started off being a co group leader because I was under 18 and I stayed in that position helping my colege set up, assist, and follow so I would be ready to lead my own group when I turned of age. I turned 18 and took over my own group and continued to work there the entire school year.
• Working with K-2 gained me patience, I showed allot of compassion when working with the kids as well
• I supervised and monitor the safety of the children, working with kids isn't only about monitoring them but to provided a safe environment , and following a education and meaningful curriculum.
• There was a everyday schedule given, but there were some blocks that required planned activities or physical activities.

• I've worked at Huntington YMCA for 2 or 3 summers, I love being a camp councilor in the summer because its a whole other side to kids being in a different environment other than school, camp is full of fun.
• Worked with children of varying age, interest, skill, and developmental levels.
• Ensured camper safety by enforcing camp rules, supervising group activities, and responding promptly to incidents or concerns.
• Led groups of children safely through variety of camp activities.
• Planned, guided and assisted the children through activities

I started working at Conservatory LAb Upper school In 2022 going into my freshman year of college.

• Assisted students with homework issues and helped to incorporate positive study skills.
• Going into this school I worked with elementary kids 3-7 grade, they definitely keep you on your toes.
• I work with the kids from 2:00-6:00 monday-friday
• Everyday we do have a schedule to follow but working with young kids initials creative thinking and out the box thinking to get them and keep them engaged.
• This has been my favorite job thus far because I've built bonds with the students and co workers from working there 2 years.
