Productive workplace with pool, basketball court and weight lifting
Administrative Coordinator of Aquatic Department (Former Employee), New York, NY – May 8, 2013
Pros: exercise, swim and play sports for free, lots of staff discounts
Cons: facility hours on friday (evening) and saturday are altered because of jewish observance.
Heavy phone volume, returning calls and emails to members

I learned the value of hard work. Multi-tasked by handling more responsibilities (i.e. phone calls, emails, financial billing, scheduling appointments, payroll, supervising swim team/lifeguards)

Management is friendly and supportive. Conducted weekly productive meetings.

Co-workers are friendly – more... and cheerful.

The most enjoyable part of the job is interacting with members, staff and children. – less

It was a very fun work environment due to the sports that went on
Basketball/Soccer Coach (Former Employee), Omaha, NE – May 7, 2013
Pros: free shirt...
What I would do was coach kids ages 7-12 in both soccer and basketball in Winter/Summer. I taught them fundamentals and skills they needed to perform better in games. My co-workers were very professional and I got along with them well. The hardest part of my job was dealing with the kids that had too much candy before the actual practice started, which – more... lead to a lot of extra running on my part. I loved working with people hand to hand as I am a very good people person. – less

Enjoyable work place with a fantastic boss and terrific babies and parents.
Head Teacher of One-Year-Olds (Current Employee), Staten Island, NY – March 6, 2013
Pros: family membership to the jcc
Cons: healthcare
A typical day at work is coming into the infant room at 9:45 and I am greeted by smiles from the babies that are awake. I also get greeted cheerfully by my co-teachers. I play with the babies that are awake, give the babies that need bottles when it is their time to drink and feed babies at 11:00 when it is their lunch time. I change babies from 1:00-3:00. – more... I rock babies to sleep when necessary. I read to them, sing to them and play with them. When the weather is nice, we take them outside for fresh air. I have learned what entertains babies is very different than what entertains older children. Management is great, my boss loves me and I feel the same way. The hardest part of the job is when a baby vomits on me, but that is why I have a washing machine at home. The most enjoyable part of the job is the love that I get from the babies. – less

Productive, Exciting, Visionary, Energizing.
Volunteer; Activity Coordinator (Former Employee), Stamford, Connecticut – January 14, 2013
Daily routines were placed for the kids. Typically the day would start off with homework, continued to some gym time along with play time for some creative, hands on projects for their imaginations to run wild. Story time would be towards the end of the day for the children to rest and enjoy their quiet winding down time.

My work at the JCC gave me more experience working with older adults. I learned about the challenges they experience and also how I could be of best help to them. This was not a clinically oriented internship but I benefited greatly from my direct supervisor as well as from my supervisor above.
