  • My main objective with the little girl I work with was to build a positive and nurturing environment to support her emotional growth. We have a close relationship full of trust and empathy.
  • My second objective has been to teach her Spanish. Now, after being with her for a year and a half, since she was a baby, she knows how to count up to 15, the ABCs, colors, a day-by-day vocabulary, and several lyrics of Spanish songs. She understands me completely as I only speak Spanish to her. She also has started talking in short sentences in Spanish.
  • All the above has been done by playing games, reading lots of books, singing in Spanish, role-playing, etc., and providing various developmentally appropriate activities for children.
