Work Experience

Every summer, I work as a full-time babysitter. Spending this much time looking after kids, I have obtained a lot of skills that will help me in my future career. Babysitting has taught me how to communicate with a different generation. This will be helpful for me as a future dietitian because I will probably be working one on one with my clients. If I have clients that are a different age than me, which is very probable, then I will need to be able to communicate with them efficiently. When I babysit, I have to use my time wisely. This skill will transfer into my professional life because time management will be important for me in my career to make sure that I get everything done on time. I think that working as a babysitter has helped me to prepare for my career as a dietitian.
