Positive:

Honest- Honesty has helped me at my internship in many ways. When I first started my internship, my supervisor asked me about background in baking and working with kids. I was honest and told her that I had no experience in baking, but working with children I did. This helped me because as days went along I was learning how to use the equipment more than handling kids. As a result, now I have experience in both areas. Additionally, I am honest with the hours I do in the internship even If it means more or less hours. 

Professional- Because I work with children, I am told to wear comfortable clothes in which i can move in. I cannot however wear flip flops and i must tie my hair. Ever since my supervisor told me this I have followed through. And I have realized how the choice in clothing can really effect the execution in your work.

Negative

Can communicate effectively- I feel like this area needs improvement because sometimes I'm to shy to ask the children if they need help. But I'll make sure to step out of my shyness and improve my communication skills because it will make me a better intern and a better future employee.

  2. I have had experience working with kids and the way you dress does impact how you work and how comfortable you feel. Having trouble to communicate effectively with kids was also an issue, but it sounds to me that you are working to improve that it's a matter of getting used to the new people you meet.

  3. I have never really had any experience working with kids, but it is nice that you get to feel comfortable in the clothes that you are wearing. Just continue working on communication and the skill will develop over time.

  6. Honesty is the best policy, it's a lot better to tell the truth than to get yourself somewhere you know shouldn't be.

  7. I am also working with children and I have to wear clothes that I am able to move around in and play with the children, and not be uncomfortable because that won't help me at all in the internship so agree with you< because I also do the same.
