A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Xiomara.
I have three children, now adults and professionals. I love children, I enjoy teaching them and learning from them. In addition to helping to take care of your son (a), I can teach him (her) Spanish, walk with him (her) through museums, zoos, and parks; play board games, do crafts and seek to teach something new, taking advantage of their preferences (art, science, music, cooking, etc).
I was a teacher in Venezuela, and I have experience with children because I always liked receiving my children's friends at home, organizing recreational and educational outings with their classmates, teaching how to prepare simple cooking recipes, and channeling the energy and creativity of the children, to take advantage of teaching them values, and to be good people. I speak native Spanish, and I am working on improving my English.
