University of Arizona August 2022-May 2026 BA Psychology (in progress) My name is Breeana Griffin, and I am a junior at University of Arizona majoring in Psychology and double minoring in Human Development and Family Sciences and Criminology. I aim to begin my career as a Child Psychologist helping kids who struggle with their mental health along with providing them a safe space to talk through anything. I am an extremely hard worker, assertive, dedicated and caring. I would strive in a psychological environment because I will always take everyone's thoughts and feelings into consideration. My experience with children and adults has allowed me to understand and gather information on how important it is to create a safe environment for any child or adult in need of someone to talk to or someone to understand them. Work/Relevant Experience: 4th and 5th grade leader Boys and Girls Club of Santa Paula-Santa Paula, CA | May 2023 - August 2025 I work as the 4th and 5th grade leader during the summer at the Boys and Girls club. Working with kids on different activities, watching new learning curves, and helping with many complicated situations. I have to keep everyone's feelings into consideration and have been put in complicated situations involving home life, and school life and have learned over the years how to handle high stress situations. Dorm desk assistant University of Arizona, Arbol De La Vida dormitory | August 2024 - October 2025 I managed the front desk at Arbol De La Vida dorm at University of Arizona where I assisted students in retrieving and distributing their packages and mail. Along with that I am a mandatory reporter and am in charge of ensuring the safety of all residents at the dorm. Fast food restaurant shift leader Fosters Freeze-Santa Paula, CA | February 2022 - December 2023 Working as a shift leader at a fast food restaurant included me having control over 10 different people and delegating staff members to specific tasks while handling customers. Dealing with specific customers showed me how important it is to keep calm and continue being professional while it turns unprofessional. After school daycare staff Catalina Foothills School District-Tucson, AZ | January 2022 to March 2023 I worked as an after school daycare staff member watching kids from the age of 5-13 and creating and leading fun enrichment activities while handling high stress situations. I maintained an open space to talk about feelings, and to ensure they got the care they needed. Health Corps- Teens Make Health Happen Intern Health Corps-Tucson, AZ | July 2025 to current I am currently serving as an Intern with HealthCorps Tucson (Teens Make Health Happen) This position requires going into Middle Schools 1-2 times a week, holding 2 hour seminars with 1 group of 20-25 kids regarding our three pillars, Mental, Physical and Community Health. I include hands-on activities for the youth to advocate for themselves while having a positive experience with their peers. Human Development and Family Sciences Ambassador University of Arizona-Tucson, AZ | August 2025 to current Currently in the HDFS at University of Arizona Ambassador program, attend meetings every Thursday from 5pm-6pm to discuss new opportunities and group activities involving Human Development and Family Sciences. Attending annual club fairs to promote the program. Classroom Observation Borton Magnet Elementary School -Tucson, AZ | September 2023 to January 2024 Los Niños Elementary School -Tucson, AZ | February 2023 to April 2023 At Borton Magnet Elementary School I observed a 5th grade classroom with a teacher.

In both of these environments I learned important information when working with kids and their families. Learning a lot about the legal and emotional side.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
