Summary

I am a highly motivated employee with the desire to take on new challenges and learn new skills.

My strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills are some of my strengths that I am very proud of.

I am able to work effectively unsupervised, and I often use my initiative to assess situations and respond accordingly.

I have been a hardworking employee for all my previous employers, with customer service, multitasking, and time management abilities remaining consistent throughout all my workplaces.

I have worked extensively in child care, which has given me an abundance of experience in fast-paced environments, and has also made me adaptable to last-minute changes and unexpected problems.

I work best under pressure and consistently earn praise for my work quality and speed.

I have been a dedicated and professional employee with a proactive attitude throughout the years and i believe i would be a great asset to any employer in the future.
