What I'm looking for

I am looking for hands-on childcare or community service work in a supportive team environment that allows me to use and expand my technical and caregiving skills while taking on more responsibility and training opportunities.

I bring hands-on experience caring for children, supporting worship services, and assisting community events, with responsibilities ranging from babysitting and pet care to cashiering and retail display. I maintain a calm, organized presence and prioritize safety and warmth.

I have developed practical technical skills—Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google tools, social platforms, basic coding with Arduino and Python, and digital photography—that I apply to support programs and engage youth. I consistently achieved Honor Roll recognition while balancing coursework and extracurriculars.

I enjoy serving others, adapting quickly to needs that arise, and learning new skills through volunteer and coursework experiences such as case management basics and health/wellness topics. I am motivated to contribute to a team-focused environment where I can grow responsibility and continue skill development.
