I was an on-call babysitter for a 7 year old and toddler during my junior and senior year of high school. Here, I handled dinnertime, bathtime, and bedtime.

Additionally, I am a member of the Prytanean Women's Honor Society at UC Davis and have volunteered frequently in partnership with the UC Davis Transfer and Reentry Center to provide activities and entertainment for children (ages ranging 4-10) of UC Davis students, such as painting, playground supervision, and board games.
