Every Wednesday evening, I independently host and lead my own Bible Study at North Metro Church, analyzing different chapters every week alongside other people my age. I write the entire curriculum, reading chapters and coming up with thought stirring questions earlier in the week. I additionally manage the scheduling of my assigned room and send out bi-weekly reminders to all participants.

Due to of the quality of my performance in my volunteer opportunities, I was recognized and nominated for this paid role, which was previously reserved for those eighteen and older. Every Monday night, I entertain and supervise the children of parents going through the church's marriage programs, ensuring safety, passing out allergen safe snacks, and encouraging good behavior along with three other adults.

I help facilitate events both big and small within the church, ranging from simple tasks such as preparing food to ensuring the success of large group events such as baby dedications and daddy-daughter dances. The team is entirely volunteer based and run.

I volunteer on a weekly basis, every Sunday, caring for children while their parents attend service. In addition, I arrive early most Sundays to care for and supervise the children of busy church staff. I am only scheduled to serve on a bi-monthly basis, however, I deeply enjoy my role as a volunteer, so I gladly come as an extra set of hands each week.

Over the last several years, I have built up positive relationships with several families in my neighborhood, originally acting soley as a dog-sitter, then branching into childcare as well as I've grown older. I often complete dog sitting jobs that require me to stay overnight, keeping in constant communication with owners as I'm often responsible for routine feeding and administering medication. I am experienced with all ages, including infants, and I have experience in preparing balanced meals, helping with homework, and putting several children to bed effectively. Whenever I babysit for a family, I prioritize keeping the children off of screens, often encouraging board games and other, more creative, options such as hide and seek or acting out a play. I have proven myself as a reliable and positive outlet, and I have had many families reach out to me as a result of word of mouth from my current clients.
