Hi! I am from Cuba. I came to the USA in 2014 and became a USA citizen 2 years ago. I am a mom of a 2 years old girl. She is currently enrolled in a Montessori school after 6 months of homeschooling with mama. We are both ready to make friends and share love and knowledge out of our home. I have been working with kids for 7 years. I worked as a Toddler Teacher at Primrose School for 3 years. Then I worked as a nanny/family assistant for a busy family (7 kids). I used to take care of their toddler during the day and then pick up the rest from school in the afternoon. I also helped them run errands, light housekeeping, car washing, grocery shopping, laundry, etc... I worked as a guide at Green Sprout Preschool for 2 years teaching kids between 12 and 24 months Read more based on Montessori and Reggio Emilia's method. I can work full-time Monday-Friday anytime between 8:30 AM- 5: 00 PM. I have an Associate degree of Arts in Foreign Language (ACC). I also have an Associate Degree of Arts (Acting) from the Superior Institute of Arts in Cuba. I am currently applying to universities to get a Bachelor's in Education. I would love to help a family live efficiently to have more time with their passions and their loved ones. Compassionate, creative, and effective teacher/guide with valuable experience in classroom administration, professional development, and project planning. Equipped with an extensive background in versatile education environments. Student-centric instructor, academic facilitator, and motivational coach. Competent at performing independently or as a member of the teaching team. Exceptional nanny/family assistant with experience supporting daily success and health of children of varying needs and interests. Versatile and adaptable in conducting errands, cooking for kids, changing diapers, and entertaining children according to parental specifications. Reliable and supportive member of house operations, assisting family as extenuating circumstances arise. Excellent organization/multi-task abilities.
