Dedicated Future Nurse with Hands-On Childcare Experience and a Passion for Helping Others

Hi, my name is Amaya Medina, and I’m a recent high school graduate with real experience working with young children and in high-energy environments. I’ve spent the past year assisting at the Vicki Soto Center with preschoolers, while also balancing a fast-paced role at Buffalo Wild Wings. I’m passionate about making a positive impact, whether it’s through caring for kids or supporting a team, and I’m excited to keep growing as I begin my nursing studies this fall at Norwalk Community College.

I am a recent high school graduate with hands-on experience working with children and in fast-paced food service environments. Since August 2024, I’ve worked at the Vicki Soto Center with children ages 3–4, where I gained experience supporting early childhood education under the supervision of certified staff. I also currently work at Buffalo Wild Wings as a cashier, host, busser, and takeout team member, developing strong customer service, multitasking, and teamwork skills. I plan to begin studying nursing at Norwalk Community College in Fall 2025, with future goals of specializing in pediatric or forensic nursing. My experience has trained me to be dependable, caring, and adaptable in both childcare and professional settings.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
