Resume:

October **, ****

Hello my name is Kirra Chevalier. As my resume reflects, I am

currently working towards my Early Childhood Education Certificate. I am

taking my first 3 classes at the Anaheim Campus.

I have been volunteering at Advantage Foster Family Agency since I

was 16 years old. I love working with young children, and feel I have a

natural gift for helping young kids gain self-esteem, confidence and a

sense of belonging. While volunteering I have baby-sat foster and

biological children from 1-5 years of age, taught arts & crafts and worked

at many different foster family functions.

This summer I took a leave of absence from my job at Ralphs to go on

a 10-week mission trip to India with a non-profit organization called

Pioneers. I chose this trip as the main focus was going into villages and

schools in the remote Himalayan Mountains to work with the children and

their parents. It gave me a whole new outlook on the beauty of children as

well as their basic (but critical) social/emotional needs.

I work approx. 24 hours a week at Ralphs where I am responsible for

many duties but primarily my job is Customer Service. I have learned how

to deal with difficult situations in a very busy store. I love having

contact with the customers and making them know that they are valued by

Ralphs. I believe working at this job for the past two years has given me

valuable experience that will be beneficial when I am working with children

and their parents in the future. I have learned how to keep myself busy

when the store is slow and jump right back in as soon as we are busy. I

have learned how to deal with customer's complaints and also to help make

the cashier's job easier when they are busy. While I am thankful for the

job experience I have received while working at this store, I am looking

forward to working in the area that I am studying.

It is and has been my goal to gain a deeper understanding in the field

of childcare and development, and to play a role as encourager of each

child's exploration of his/her value as well as the value of those around

them.

I would love the opportunity to speak with you in person regarding

your job as a Teacher's Assistant. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Kirra Chevalier
