Besides having tutored for 4 years, I have babysat children for the ages 1 year and up. I am an expecting mother and would appreciate and cherish the opportunity to care for children or families who I could potentially care for with my own child there!
In addition yo being a mother of two boys, I love cooking and taking care of children.
Although I do not speak fluent English, I offer to teach your children the Spanish language with educational tasks, fun stories and also that they will only listen to me speak it all day. How can you not learn like this!?
I'm looking forward...
