Hi, my name is MacKenzie. I am 22 years old and live in Monmouth. I have been attending Western Oregon University for 4 years now as well as working part-time at a company that provides for disabled adolescents and adults. I work at a home with 5 adolescents. We do everything from preparing meals to assisting them with their chores. A typical work day for me would be getting the kids up and ready to go to school. When they return home from school I help them with their homework and then continue their day with whatever activity they have planned. We then cook dinner, relax with an in-house activity, and then a bedtime story is provided before bed. Each day I administer medications, do laundry, clean the house, as well as make breakfast, lunch, and dinner for them. Although my job is very challenging I absolutely love it. I enjoy working with children a lot. I consider myself a child at times but only because I love to play like they do. I am very good at dealing with tough situations when it comes to kids. I encounter power struggles about 10 times on a daily basis. I have two younger siblings that I played with growing up and enjoy babysitting my 1-year-old nephew. I have also babysat for various family friends. The reason I am applying for this position is because I am not enrolled for courses at Western this fall term and work only Friday and Saturday at my current job. I have a lot of free time and am in need of finding something productive to keep me busy. I am available to work Monday-Thursday any time of the day. If you have any other questions please feel free to give me a call anytime. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
