"I had a great summer working as a housekeeper. My favourite parts included working with people my age, the flexibility in my scheduling and being busy, which made my whole shift helped the day go by. I liked how even when I was super busy I knew I wouldn’t be left to suffer all alone and everyone on staff was very helpful. Altogether I think the summer went well and I am thankful for the opportunity I had working for the resort."
