TEACHING EXPERIENCE
University of Wisconsin-Platteville Childrens Center January 2013-Present
Working with children ages two to nine years of age as a Teachers Assistant. My
responsibilities include playing with the children, helping them become more
independent, setting up meal and snacks for the class, changing diapers, laundry, and
doing any tasks the teachers asked of me (ex. working on art projects for them).
Teaching Assistant/Tutor (Potosi Elementary School) September 2008-Present
In high school, I have tutored and worked with children in elementary (pre-k 4
th
grade).
I was the teachers assistant. I had to prepare worksheets, projects etc. I quizzed students,
worked on improving their reading skills, helped them learn in mathematics, and would
be in charge of centers during class. I have worked and volunteered for the last six years
with various elementary teachers during their summer school program. As previously
stated for what I have done for teachers, I have also done in the summer as well.

Babysitter February 2009-Present
I usually babysit in the summers and weekends for various families, ranged from
preschool to fourth grade. I care for them by playing, feeding, and supervising them. I
also transport them to school or anywhere else they needed to go.
Wisconsin Badger Camp Summer 2013
I volunteered for childrens week at Wisconsin Badger Camp. I was an aide to a
counselor. We had four main girls to care for, help them wake up, get dressed, eat, and
guide them to the activities which were provided. We of course cared for the other
campers if need be.


Family Advocates Youth Group February 2013-December 2013
I work with children ranged from infant to high school. The children Ive worked with
have dealt with emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. For the infants, I have the role of a
caregiver; playing, feeding, changing, etc. For the older children, I educate them and give
them the skills they need to be a better person, and how to deal with their situations. (ex:
they can talk to us (volunteers, mentors, etc.), how to get or find help, how to relieve
anger and/or stress in an appropriate manner).
Potosi Vocation Bible Summer School Summer 2009-Present
The first few summers I aided the teacher who was in charge of arts and crafts. I helped
prepare the supplies for each age group. The last two summers Ive aided the children
with other aids by receiving them from parents, taking them to each center, helping them
in their centers, and then returning them back to their parents.

Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I cared for residents with illnesses, disabilities and
the elderly. This responsibility included giving them showers, making sure they were
comfortable and presentable. I would take them to therapy, getting them up and dressed
in the morning, feeding, and helping them in any way.
