- I worked with kids ages six to twelve as a Y Cook Counsellor at the YMCA, fostering a fun, safe, and encouraging environment where campers could express their creativity through cooking and other practical activities. I collaborated with team members to ensure efficient kitchen operations. I oversaw daily cooking classes, imparting age-appropriate and enjoyable knowledge of nutrition, kitchen safety, and fundamental culinary skills to the campers, following safety and sanitation guidelines. Along with cooking, I led a variety of leisure pursuits that encouraged cooperation, self-assurance, and personal development, like games, crafts, and outdoor excursions. In order to make sure every child felt included, empowered, and motivated to do new things, I also provided emotional support to campers, assisted in resolving disputes, and promoted constructive social interactions.
