Happy 1year anniversary to Kailey!

 

 

Tomorrow (May 1st) Marks the one year anniversary of Kailey job at Solutions. She is off for the weekend so I sent her some chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements today. We just wanted to mark this day, its an important milestone and we are very proud of her.  Since she has been there she has seen 3 managers come and go. She is one of the longest lasting employees at this branch, and I think that says a lot about who she is.

Technically this is Kailey's second job, she had one at the age of 14. However that place didn't turn out to be the best place for her to work. The one thing that I am so thankful for with Solutions is that every manager that has come into the position has very much liked and respected Kailey for who she is. Each one of them had seen the potential in her, and all of them had taken their knowledge and taught Kailey had to be a great employee. She has had the best guidance possible, with each co-worker providing her with confidence and support.

When Kailey had turned 15 she had been very shy, not really insecure...just shy and people may have found her in a working environment maybe hard to approach. All she needed was some guidance, and experience. With knowing that, we had her register at the Cambridge Hospital as a volunteer. It was the best decision we made for her as parents. She blossomed. She gained much faith in herself. She grew tremendously.

Eventually she managed to develop courage and certainty in herself, she had the ability to provide a confident leadership in a company.

Thankfully Solutions gave her a shot, they interviewed her and she got the job. They saw her potential and they wanted her.

The first manager worked closely with her, providing structure and direction. The other employees were kind, and patient. It just proves how wonderful of an employee she is when the district managers know her by name and tell her directly how much they like her. She's a straight shooter, like her dad. She speaks her mind and handles situations incredibly maturely. She never lets her  emotions get the best of her. The self control she demonstrates is admirable, along with her capacity to maintain professionalism in any situation.

Her dad and I are so proud of her, she is the hardest working 18 year old we know. School comes first, then work and next her family and friends.

We are so happy to see her off this weekend for some fun with friends. She has had a busy year, and has worked very hard. That gives us reason to celebrate. Congratulations baby girl...one whole year at your first real job is a true reason to be proud.

Tonight when I lay my head down to sleep, I will be giving thanks for my girl. My amazing, beautiful, smart talented daughter who we love beyond words.

Until tomorrow chummies, good night and god bless~
