Description

Hello there! My name is Dulce. Just like my name, I've been told I have a sweet and caring personality. Traveling and getting to experience other cultures helps me live life with a ''big picture” perspective. Understanding that even the smallest impact can create life changing circumstances, gives me the inspiration to be part of that greater change. It is truly a joyful pursuit to make connections with people from all over the world and share stories.

Other things that bring me joy are:
yoga
movement meditation
cooking
dancing
getting lost in a good book
laughing loudly
eating
nature
learning how to create things

It would bring me great happiness to do my first work away assignment in Mexico. My parents are from there, and the opportunity to reconnect back to my land, to give back in some way, sounds enticing.

Hello my name is Joel. When I'm asked questions about what brings me happiness and motivation, I always have to take a second to think about my answer. You see, I find happiness and motivation in many of my life endeavors. From baking beautiful cakes and pastries for people, working on my books or writings, hiking up mountains, building things with my hand, teaching kids acting skills for self empowerment, and this list goes on. These pursuits and many more bring my life happiness and joy.

So when answering such questions, I like say, what brings me happiness and motivation is pursing joy and fulfillment. My joy comes from having new experiences and trying new things. My fulfillment comes from making positive changes in the world for myself and all other generations to come.

More details about your skills

I'm a yoga teacher and love incorporating other movement modalities like qi-gong into my practice. Several different forms of meditations are sometimes included that compliment the class. I've also been a nanny for about 10 years. When connecting to children, I find that there is much to learn from them. I enjoy creative play and sharing the hobbies that make me happy like yoga, art projects, and baking. House/pet sitting is a normal part of the work as well.

My primary language is Spanish. Even though I lived in the USA for all my life, and became fluent in English, I never lost my native language. I also have experience in tutoring children in Spanish.

I love experimenting in the kitchen with new ingredients and cuisines. Baking and cooking is one of the ways I show appreciation towards my loved ones. It's my mission to make healthy delicious deserts! Working with the vegetables and herbs from my garden makes cooking much more pleasurable. I'm no expert gardener, but seeing seeds turn into something edible is a beautiful process worth being part of. Learning about permaculture is something I'm really interested in.

I've gained hospitality experience when working at a historic hotel in my hometown for a couple of years. I was the receptionist in the Spa. Besides taking care of the logistics of work, I mostly engaged with guest in a pleasant matter and made sure everything was going well for them.

I am bilingual. Spanish is my first language. I can speak fluently and write fairly well. I grew up mostly in the US, so I speak and write English very well. I can teach English and help your growth in it.

I was trained in Theatre. I worked for non profits with youth. I am able to teach basic theatre skills and encourage youth to learn and grow through theatre. I was trained in Theatre of the Oppressed, which is a theatre practice that encourages communities to deal with problems and come up with solutions through theatre.

I have a degree in media arts. I know how to do graphic design as well as a bit of sound production. I am fairly computer savvy and know my way around it. I can provide assistance in tech and design issues.
