  • Description

    I find happiness in the little things in life: sharing a cup of coffee, going for a walk, learning a new hobby, and enjoying each moment with gratitude. Many things motivate me: self-growth, new experiences, the opportunity to learn from others, and to be able to share my experience and knowledge as well.

    About Me
    Hi! I’m a fully bilingual (Spanish–English) English teacher and active mom living in the hills of Costa Rica with my family.

    I’m passionate about cultural exchange, especially when it involves teaching and learning languages. As a bilingual family, we raised our daughter to speak both English and Spanish—and now I’m dreaming of helping kids learn languages while improving my French and exploring France over weekends. I recently volunteered in Italy and absolutely loved immersing myself in daily life with locals. France holds special memories from a family trip about ten years ago, and I’m excited to reconnect with its culture.

    What I Can Offer
    I bring enthusiasm, a warm presence, and lots of relatable experience:

    👩‍🏫 Experienced childcare: Raised my daughter, teaching her bilingual Spanish‑English fluency

    🌱 Gardening & household help: routine chores, planting, weeding, tidying, home maintenance

    📝 Teaching: currently online English teacher for primarily Spanish-speaking students

    🗣️ Language exchange: teaching Spanish or English, and learning French day by day

    I’m adaptable, reliable, and eager to help meaningfully while building genuine connections.

    What I Hope To Do & Learn

    *Teach children English and/or Spanish

    *Continue learning conversational French

    *Explore local culture, nature spots, and everyday life in France during time off.

    In Summary

    If you’re looking for a friendly, dependable helper who enjoys teaching, and values cultural exchange—I'd love to contribute to your daily life and learn from you in return.

    I can’t wait to meet new people, share my experiences, and explore together!

  • What else ...

    I strongly believe in practicing healthy habits to maintain a well-balanced mind, body, and spirit. I enjoy gentle yoga, going for walks, lying on the grass, reading a book, and handcrafting. When taking care of kids, I like to read them books, do painting projects, drawing, baking cookies together, and play outdoors when the weather allows it.
