The Shaw Family

While I have babysat for many years, I have most constantly babysit for the Shaw Family. They have three young children, a 4-year old, a 2-year old, and a newborn baby. My duties generally involve caring for the children’s basic needs (food, drink, changing diapers, etc.), putting the children to bed, and keeping watch over the house until the Shaws arrive home. I am typically working in 3-5 hour shifts when babysitting for them, but I have babysat for shorter and longer periods of time as well.

Westwood United Methodist Church

For the past three summers, I have served as a college intern in Westwood United Methodist Church's VBS, Summer Day Camp, and Music Camp. I serve as a group leader for the 5th and 6th graders, leading lessons and activities throughout the week and providing direction for the high school interns that work under me. This has provided me with multiple experiences with lesson planning, classroom management, differentiated instruction, and the creation of a safe and enjoyable learning environment. This past summer, during the COVID season, I worked to create a completely original online camp along with two other coworkers. All content was original and self-constructed. The entirety of the camp was online and utilized a variety of sources, such as Zoom, YouTube, Flipgrid, and Seesaw, to communicate and interact with our campers.

MYCincinnati

I volunteer my time at MYCincinnati, an free after-school program that allows children to explore the world of music and to learn to play any of the instruments in an orchestra. As a music education major, this is a great opportunity for me to gain teaching experience and to apply what I have learned throughout my time in school in order to help in the education of younger students. Whenever I am there, I am either assisting in the teaching of the orchestra or I am taking individual students aside for private lessons. The staff of MYCincinnati are amazingly wonderful and understanding people who work around my school schedule so that I have able to help out whenever I am available.

The Deaf Institute

I have currently served at the Deaf Institute for over 6 years now. I have performed many tasks while volunteering there such as the cleaning of their facilities, the organization of their facilities, and most importantly, participation in many of their events. The most notable event that I have participated in while volunteering at the Deaf Institute is the Deaf Fair. Every year, I have either run a station at the Deaf Fair (either some sort of crafts station or a music station) or been in charge of the videography and photography of the event.

Stepping Stones

I was a volunteer at Stepping Stones every summer for about 3 years. Here, I worked almost every day with people of all ages and of all disabilities. I worked mainly with young children and teenagers who suffered from autism, Down syndrome, and multiple disabilities. I have also had experience working with adults with disabilities both at the camp and in my own home, as my own brother is an adult who has autism. I performed many tasks while I volunteered there, such as helping the kids with their crafts, helping the kids feed themselves, and watching the children in order to keep them entertained and safe.

Walnut Hills High School

I served as a Latin tutor at Walnut Hills High School year for about 3 years. I taught students of differing levels of Latin (Latin I, II, and III). The topics I covered in my teachings included grammar, the memorization of Latin words, and the translation of Latin texts. I myself have studied Latin for 4 years. I have taken the AP Latin course and received a 5 (the highest grade possible) on the AP Exam.
