Spanish Speakers: work with children


A University Professor is seeking a Spanish speaker to watch his three children for 3 to 4 hours every Friday. They specifically want a Spanish speaker so that the children can interact in Spanish. The pay is negotiable, and the children are great, two girls ages 6 and 8, and one boy age 10. If anybody is interested, they can contact me and I can put them in contact with the family (lmartin8@uiuc.edu).
