Summer Job





Just got the call, I will be working at KOA.  I will move over there on Monday, but probably will not start working until May.


2 days a week at the front desk

2 days a week as the Children's Activity Director
Friday evenings, Saturday afternoon
 and Saturday Movie Night
(plus Sundays on holiday weekends) 

This should be interesting, I like working with kids.  I was a Girl Scout leader a long time ago, for about 8 years, and we had at least 30 girls in our group.







I get to decide what types of activities to add 
to the standard, planned events.

I get paid for all hours worked and my rent is very cheap,
just enough to cover the utilities.

The uniforms are yellow shirts, I don't think I have ever owned any yellow clothes.  Oh well, its only during work hours.



I will still be volunteering with the Sea Turtle Patrol. I am on the the patrol schedule on Thursday, April  11th and April 18th.  I hope I find a turtle nesting.
We will get an updated schedule every two weeks.

  1. I guess it's congrats on the job. Working with kids would probably rank about the bottom of the barrel for me. But I think you will be really good at it. You have such a creative mind.

  5. Congratulations, that will require a change of gears, going from slow moving turtles to jet propelled kids. Enjoy.

  12. I'm glad you found a good place! Working at the front desk part of the time and with the kids the rest will give you a varied work experience. I'd like that, I think. I'd also like the pay! Good deal! I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes. :)
