Description

Hello! My name is Zulia, I just retired, I am eager to meet interesting people with whom to share my knowledge of English and Spanish while I learn their language and culture. I worked teaching Spanish and English as a new language in public and private schools.

I have experience in early childhood education. I enjoy working with children, from 3 years of age and up it is more interesting to me . It is fascinating to help them to discover their wold and to teach them a language that its not spoken at home or its not their mother tongue.

I'm originally from Venezuela but I have been living in USA for more than half of my life. I like to socialize, go to museums, concerts, seat and relax with a cup of coffee, being around friends. Also I enjoy having my granddaughter who is 5 around to play or to go on adventures.

I'm a member of two non-profit organizations that promotes international culture.

The best is I feel great and with dreams to fulfill.

What else ...

I'm an easy going person. Open minded and I guess a risk taker.
I have been a nanny on and off for the past eight years to the same family when they have needed it (He is a Dr. and gives conferences inside and outside the country and his wife accompanied him).
During the time I helped them I stayed in their house the necessary time, alone with the kids. I was responsible of the house and children, taking them to school and their after school activities.
In our free time we did school projects, crafts, sawing, the girls enjoyed what we did together. Also, I introduce them to some Venezuelan food and how to cook it.
Other enjoyable activities were
baking, playing school, dancing, learning to dance using a hula hoop, riding bikes, going to the movies or the park and even shopping. In few occasions I went to their school to watch their plays.
With Workaway I had the opportunity to volunteer in Italy and Turkey. I spent almost half of 2018 in these two countries helping interesting people to improve their English. This increase my desire to keep teaching in a different atmosphere and experiencing other cultures as a volunteer.
