Hello!

I am a native English Speaker from the United States. I am looking for a family who wants their kids to learn native english and who may need some help with babysitting or childcare this summer or longer. I have been in Barcelona studying and working, but these parts of my life will finish in the end of April and I am looking for a new adventure. I am passionate about teaching, kids, and Barcelona!

In return, I am hoping that the family can provide me with a room to live in. I can buy my food and anything else I may need, but if the family can offer anything extra, food or compensation, I would be grateful.

I currently hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Management, Accounting, and English Literature (I was very studious in high school and college so that I could have three specialities.) I have taught english and writing to 12-16 year olds in the United States every summer since I was 19. Also, I am from a huge family and I know what it's like to always be around kids. My father has 10 brothers and sisters, so I have 30 cousins of all ages. I have had a lot of babysitting and childcare experience with my family. Also, I have taken spanish for two years so I have a basic understanding of the language. Also, I love cooking. I would love to learn as much as I can while living with a family.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am incredible skilled in language and teaching. I have innate qualities that allow me to communicate very well and I am highly emotionally intelligent which makes me good with children and teaching. I truly believe I can be great help to someone looking for this.

I am flexible with my work. I could be with the kids all day, or I can have them for a fews hours. You would have complete control over when I would have to work. Currently, I have a job where I work whenever I want to. I am considering not doing this job anymore, as I have a lot of savings, and I would love to dedicate myself to helping your kids learn english! I think it would be an amazing experience. Also, I want to experience the wonderful city of Barcelona in the best time of the year, so it would be a "win-win" for both of us!!

Please feel free to contact me with any inquiries. My phone is under repair so email is preferred!! I can't wait to talk to you!!
