Summary

As a recreation aide with over 1 year of experience, I have worked hard to develop my skills in customer service, program planning and execution, and data entry. In my previous role, I was responsible for leading activities for seniors at an assisted living facility. This involved creating monthly activity calendars, setting up weekly events such as bingo or arts & crafts classes, and providing one-on-one assistance to residents who needed help participating. I also handled all the administrative tasks associated with running the program, including maintaining sign-in sheets and collecting feedback surveys. Through my work in this position, I have learned how to better manage time while still delivering high quality results.
