My name is Maia Kissell and I am currently a second year at Iowa State studying English and Secondary Education. I have been working with children since I was 14 years old as a babysitter, kids club attendant, and lifeguard. As a previous employee at Genesis Kids Club, I watched children of various ages, from infants to 14-year-olds. Most previously, I am employed seasonally with Des Moines Parks and Recreation as a Supervisor of Nahas Aquatic Center. I have been a lifeguard since I was 15 years old, was given the opportunity to head-guard 2 years ago, and was previously hired as a Supervisor last summer. In this position, I earned my first-aid and CPR certifications. I also previously learned my LGI (Lifeguard Instructor) certification, which allows me to teach these concepts to lifeguards in need. In this role, I worked with employees and patrons to create a safe and Read more fun environment. I was able to build relationships with both parents and children to ensure they were safe. I also have taught swim lessons through this position for 4 years. I have taught many ages, and many levels, allowing me to also become close with parents. I am currently employed at Success Gymnastics Studio in Ames, where I teach Preschool-Kindergarten aged children gymnastics. This requires communication and proper knowledge of lesson planning with both students and parents. I am very organized, flexible, and also have a car.
