She loves working with kids and she created a healthy bilingual cooking program, "Cooking Healthy with Ms. Guada" specially designed to inspire healthy eating habits for kids. 

Ms. Guada believes that children are easily excitable, and when they are excited about something they tend to digest it way faster. They learn without realizing it. So learning a language matched with something they like to do, is a great way to help them improve their skills without them realizing it.

By helping them learn about food and cooking, you help them to become more comfortable with different foods, and can even make them healthier eaters. 

In a nutshell, kids like what they know, and they eat what they like. So, making food and cooking in a fun way has many benefits.
