Renata Soleri

I am currently studying at York St Johns doing community music, going into my third year. I enjoy working with others and taking initiative. I am a fast learner, organised person and attentive to detail. I can work well under pressure and take lead when necessary. I am a proactive person who loves working with children and being part of a team.

Whilst I was a student, I held the position of a Band Leader for the younger students. I had to select the music, organise the rehearsals; I carried administrational duties such as making sure the room was booked and organised with the correct instruments and stands. Then at the rehearsals I helped the children sort any difficulties, explaining if they didn't understand, keeping the time and playing with them the music if needed.

Waitress/Assistant at By the Bridge (2021-05 – 2021-09)

This position helped me to become an all-round employee that can help wherever it is needed. It also helped me with my communication skills and my time management skills.

Piano Teacher at Private lessons (2021-05 – 2021-09)

Using my grade 6 in piano, I taught 1 to 1 piano lessons to young children around the age of 6. I organised the lessons in a fun and interactive way to keep the children concentration and interest with the instrument. In this experience, it helping me to work well around younger children, helping me to come up with quick ideas on the spot and with my communication.

Baby Sitter at Private service (2021-05 – Present)

In this experience, I looked after children depending on the times I'm needed. I have to be responsible, and make sure they are safe as I was being trusted by their parents. This has helped my organisation skills as sometimes I have to cook, clean any mess and have to be punctual.

Flexi Bank Assistant Educator at N Family club nursery (2024-11 – Present)

In this role in the nursery, I had lots of different responsibilities working with different age groups (from 6 months old to 5 years old.). I would help with meal times, nappies, lead lots of different activities depending on the age group and sleep time. This position really encouraged me to become proactive, use my initiative, improved my time management skills and work well as a team in a very busy and fast paced environment.
