Summary
Combining watchfulness and first-aid, I have worked as a lifeguard for the past several years. I have persevered through stressful situations, long shifts, and inclement weather. I have worked at several different facilities, learning different rules while maintaining the same enthusiasm and attentiveness that a lifeguard needs.

Work History
Kids Club Attendant
Farmington Country Club
Charlottesville, US
02.2024 - 05.2024
- I spent a few months working at the Farmington Kids' Club, taking care of children from 3 months to 10 years old
- It was a good experience to meet new people and learn how to care for younger children, but the workplace community was not great
Lifeguard
Brooks Family YMCA
Charlottesville, US
10.2022 - 12.2023
- I worked at the YMCA for a little over a year
- My duties included keeping an eye on swimmers, handling requests from patrons, and maintaining and operating various components such as the diving board, water features, pool chemicals, and pump room
- During large swim meets, there were as many as 300 people in and around the pools
- This job taught me how to stay organized and focused during busy times, while still effectively communicating with and assisting other guests
Lifeguard
Club and Leisure Partners
Charlottesville, US
06.2023 - 08.2023
- I picked up a second job over the summer at Onesty Family Aquatic Center because I was friends with the manager, and several of my friends were working there
- Since this was an outside, family-fueled environment, there was a lot of interaction with kids and parents of all kinds
- I learned how to have a good time with kids while also keeping them safe at this job
Lifeguard
City of Charlottesville
Charlottesville, US
07.2022 - 01.2023
- This was my first job
- The city owned four pools while I worked for them, so I rotated between them as needed
- This position required lots of patience, as sometimes working meant watching elderly swimmers go back and forth in the lap lanes
- I also learned how to clean, open and close different facilities during my time there
