I am a young woman looking for a summer job. I have had a variety of experiences working with children and am just finishing up the school year working as an Educational Assistant. Before then I worked 2-3 years in a preschool, So I do have my level 1 certificate as well. I am just back home for the summer as I am attending a university down in southern Alberta to do a modern languages French and Spanish Education Program. I do not speak these fluently as I am still at the beginner stages. I grew up with two parents and they both came to Alberta. my mum is from England so I am part British but I was born in Canada and so was my dad so I am also part Canadian. It does take me a little while to get used to pets I am fine with cats once I get to know them but unfortunately not dogs. I have a large interest in music as I love to sing, play instruments such as : piano, guitar, ukulele, trombone, flute. Piano I have played for 16 years now and flute for about a 1 1/2 years and trombone I played in Junior High. The rest of the instruments I just do for fun. I have also been singing since I was 8 and have entered a few contests and have also done musical numbers in church. I am only looking for a full-time or part time job for July and August as I will be heading back to post-secondary. I also love to teach myself dance, I did ballet through a studio for one year and then I have taught myself tap for 2 years but I still need to work on it a lot. I love to swim and workout I don't have any qualifications but I still enjoy it, and I have recently for about 2 years now have picked up on knitting. I also love to play basketball but just for fun. I do have a vehicle and am willing to travel to have a fun summer if needed or just spend time in Lethbridge in and outside the areas.
