As an after-school and leisure center animator, my main mission was to supervise and support groups of children aged 3 to 11 during extracurricular times and school holidays. I prepared and led various fun, educational, and sports activities adapted to the needs, desires, and abilities of each child.

I ensured the physical and emotional safety of the children throughout the day, by ensuring compliance with rules and good group cohesion. My role also included managing quiet times and meal times, as well as regular communication with parents and the pedagogical team.

During my internship at a youth center for 16-26 year olds, I actively participated in setting up projects to support young people in their daily lives (orientation, employment, integration, leisure, etc.). My role was to identify their needs, propose concrete actions, and contribute to their implementation.

I organized several events, such as award ceremonies, to highlight their achievements. This included sending emails to young people, creating and distributing invitation cards, and managing service providers (room booking, catering, speakers...). I also participated in communication around these projects and logistical coordination on the day.

As the business center coordinator, I was the sole employee on site, responsible for the daily management of a portfolio of over a hundred professional clients. As the primary point of contact, I ensured their needs were met with responsiveness and professionalism. I managed in-person and phone reception, monitored and scheduled office or meeting room bookings, and prepared them in advance.

I was also responsible for coordinating with external service providers (cleaning, maintenance, technical services), processing emails, administrative management, and regularly updating Excel tracking spreadsheets (bookings, invoicing, attendance, etc.). I ensured the smooth daily operation of the center, guaranteeing a professional, organized, and welcoming environment. This versatile role allowed me to develop strong skills in autonomy, customer relationship management, and organization.
