I believe that I have developed the soft skills necessary to work effectively in a caring capacity: Communication - In 2017 I started a chess club at school. Chess club has allowed me to engage with younger students both as a role model and someone they can confide in, which I believe will make me an effective babysitter as I am able to relate to young children. When organizing activities as a student representative, I learnt how to express ideas in a clear and concise manner, while taking into account the ideas and concerns of others. Adaptability- As a swimming instructor, I have learnt to engage with people, both adults and children, to exceed their expectations through my commitment to appropriately delivering the service being provided. I have completed the bronze Duke of Edinburgh program (DOE) and am currently completing the silver DOE. As such, I learned the skill of adaptability, especially in the Adventurous Journey segment. I have learnt to think on my feet with my CPR certification. I believe I will be able to adapt to new situations easily, as I am willing to apply myself to learn any necessary new skills.
