Hello all, I am going to be a senior at the University of Illinois studying accounting and finance. I have always loved working with kids, and I can babysit local families as I have a car. I start my internship June 8th, and I am pretty free before then! Once it starts I’m free on the weekends. The past five summers I have worked at a local country club in the northwest suburbs where I took over as their summer camp director. During the two years, I was a director I created and implemented COVID-19 guidelines to support a safe environment while allowing the camp the run. I organized and lead a summer camp with more than 100 children in attendance and managed a budget of $50,000. Also, I trained camp counselors on how to manage and maintain an energetic group of campers Managed groups of children in a camp Read more setting, and coordinated different activities. To keep the kids entertained I created a curriculum through activities, arts and crafts, and sports. For the first three years, I was a counselor, I moved up to the director position based on leadership and commitment. I also have babysat for 7+ years with all different children ages ranging from infant to middle schooler. I also have worked with kids with diabetes, autism, and epilepsy.
