Good Day! My name is Deidre and I have worked as a Spanish Teacher and Tutor since 2005 for Chicago Public Schools through Children's Second Language in Matteson, IL and even privately for my own company named "Hablamos". In addition to elderly care, caring for children is an immense passion. I have even volunteered to assist in rearing children of close friends and family members when there was no one else available to lighten the load of single or working parents. I have orchestrated school plays, games and am even in the midst of seeking a publisher of children's bilingual booklets. More of my related experience includes the following: Responsible for creating new and effective methods to make learning exciting and memorable. Thoroughly trained to help small children learn to read and write in the Spanish language as a teacher for Children’s Second Language.
