• As a Sunday school teacher, I led weekly lessons for children, helping them understand biblical principles through storytelling, discussion, and creative activities. This role strengthened my communication and presentation skills, as well as my ability to simplify complex ideas for young learners. I have consistently demonstrated patience, empathy, and emotional intelligence when managing different personalities and addressing behavioural challenges. It also required empathy, and strong organizational abilities to create a positive and engaging environment. Working closely with other volunteers and church leaders, I contributed to community events and helped foster a nurturing space for spiritual growth creating a safe and welcoming environment for children to learn about Christian values.

Babysitting has taught me a wide range of valuable skills, including responsibility, time management, and effective communication. By caring for children of different ages, I've learned how to be patient, calm under pressure, and adaptable to changing situations. I've developed strong problem-solving skills, especially when handling minor conflicts or emergencies, and have become confident in making quick, thoughtful decisions. Babysitting has also helped me build trust with families and improve my ability to manage routines such as meal preparation, bedtime, and homework help, all while ensuring a safe and positive environment for the children in my care.
