I am also the proud parent of a 15-month-old daughter, Lilo, who will also be traveling with me as I teach abroad. She was born in Korea and has been coming to school with me when I teach, entertaining herself with videos on her laptop computer or keeping busy in a playpen while I am in class. I have been feeding/changing her diapers during my breaks/lunch period and I would enjoy a position that would allow me to continue to do the same or would provide a nursery for her while I teach.
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. I would prefer to hear from you via email, then we can arrange a phone interview.
Take care and thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Shanahan
***** I am able to leave Istanbul any day after June 13th and am available for a six month or 12 month contract. 6 month to depart Korea for Canada before Christmas. *****
