A little bit about me

Hola! Que tal, mi nombre es Guillermina García, tengo 38 años, soy Mexicana, tengo poco que llegue a Chicago, tengo todos mis papeles en regla, no tengo hijos porque Dios no me los a querido mandar, más sin embargo tengo 6 hermosos sobrinos, de allí es mi experiencia pues soy la tía amorosa que disfruto y disfruta jugar con ellos, ser su amiga, sus cuidados, ahora ya algunos de ellos son unos jóvenes adultos pero yo estuve en su cuidado toda su niñez desde baby, amo a los niños!!! Quizá no tengo la experiencia de un trabajo de niñera, pero puedo asegurar que cuidare de sus hijos como si fueran míos propios, dándoles mucho amor, cuidado, juego, y sus alimentos a sus horas, no soy buena en la cocina, pero algo básico si se preparar, tampoco se el inglés, estoy esperando a tomar clases para poder tener mejores oportunidades de empleo, pero mi idioma es el español!! Ojalá pudieran darme la oportunidad. Saludos!!!!
