19 rue les Hauts de l’Erdre

44240 LA CHAPELLE SUR ERDRE

Position: Looking after Margaux (7) and Charlotte (5) LAFONTAINE. My duties involved

waking them up each morning at 7:20, and helping them get ready for school. I would then pick

them up in the afternoon at 4:45, help them do homework, bathe them, and play with them till

their parents would return home. Along with that I would take them to dance class every

Wednesday morning, and Tennis class every Friday evening after school. Part of my duties

required doing at least one night of babysitting on the weekend meaning preparing dinner for the

two girls, playing with them, and then putting them to bed. Also when they would have

vacation, which was usually a span of two weeks, I was required to spend one of the two weeks

watching the girls.

Manager: Lisa Schlake

Position: Barista

Duties: Working at Coffee Please helped me learn how to handle several tasks at once in a high

energy setting. Between making food, fulfilling drink orders, and taking care of customers I was

able to greatly increase my skills in interacting one-on-one with people everday, and be able to

learn how to cope in stressful situations, and find a positive solution. It required me to think on

my toes, and how to stay positive when situations sometimes went awry.

Advisor: Alexander Morgan

Position: French Teacher Assistant

Duties: In working with the Alliance Francaise, I helped lead a couple classes a week to teach

french to young kids aged 4 to 8 years old. This experience taught me how to interact with large

and small groups of individuals, and how to act accordingly when there were a wide range of

ages and skill levels. This opportunity gave me the chance to experience what it is like to teach a

foreign language to individuals, how to create lesson plans, and keep a group of individuals

engaged when a topic is difficult or complicated. I was able to use my office skills even more in

creating more complicated and intricate lesson plans for the kids, and also create activities and

worksheets that met the students skill levels. I started working for the Alliance Francaise as a

Teaching Assistant, but as my experience increased I was moved up to a teacher position to lead

classes on my own if they needed a substitute.
