Looking for translator/proofreader

Needed: a translator for a fiction series, plus a couple of non-fiction books (including the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali) from English to Spanish. Some of them might only need proofreading and correcting, as some translations have already been done. I will be happy to meet with anyone interested with some of the books to give an idea of what’s involved.

Fluency in both languages is absolutely required, as the fiction involves poetic passages and old-fashioned words and speech and the Yoga Sutras are, of course, dealing with spirituality and consciousness.

Looking for apartment for rent

Looking for furnished apartment for rent in Cuenca, $450.

Hello All: I just arrived from the US two days ago. Next week I will begin my earnest search for a rental apartment. Two bedrooms, two baths. I would like basic services and internet to be included. If not, this will be an arguing point on the rental price. I prefer quiet to noise, nature to honking cars in a definitely non-smoking place. Pets: I am an animal lover. I have no pets now, but could possibly seek getting a small pet in the next year. This is for a long-term rental. I look forward to your suggestions. Thanks,

Linens–gently used– or new

I am looking for a set or two of quality sheets that are new or gently used– open to muling as well—queen-size–17″ pockets; deep mattress.
I also need duvet covers, queen size; floral preferred.
If anyone is returning to Cuenca and can do a little shopping in Canada or the US, great. Pay for service.

I am not interested in Sukasa sheets as a suggestion–but thanks.
Flannel sheets or cotton blend, at least 700 thread count.

I appreciate any help as my new dog has chewed my remaining sheets to smithereens and they have been repaired but look ugly! And, please no comments about the dogs– I already know there has been a problem and am now out to get a chew toy– barn door syndrome.

Looking for a business partner

I’m a Columbia MBA with extensive, senior level, corporate startup experience considering a move to Cuenca.

If I did this, it would be to start a service business, but I have very limited knowledge of Cuenca, the political and business dynamics of the metro area, and can speak 5 words — on a good day 6 — in Spanish.

So, it would be great to find a partner, Ecuadorian or expat, fluent in Spanish, with a skill set and work ethos that complemented mine.

At the moment, I have no idea what business makes sense; I’m wide open to your suggestions.

Shoot me an email with your specific background, availability, and suggestions if you have the time, interest, and capability to make a commitment if we agreed to work together.

I would like to find an educated Ecuadorean to help me with a dog training project. This is likely 2-4 hours a week at this time. The ideal assistant is Ecuadorean, speaks very good English, has a big heart, and loves dogs. Did I say, loves dogs?

Could you please tell me a little about yourself in a text or email to the addresses below?

Of course I will pay you. We will have to negotiate a price that seems fair to both of us.

Helping a good friend find work – handyman, cleaner, translator

Please consider hiring Elix Solorano for your household jobs including house cleaning. I have known him for over 3 years now and he has become a close friend who I trust implicitly. He is from Venezuela and has all his papers in order and also his visa for work.

He painted the interior of my house, hung pictures, installed curtain rods, cleaned my floors and windows, even prepped food for a function I was hosting. He moved heavy furniture, watered my plants when I went away for a week, walked my 2 dogs when I had surgery and my garden looks beautiful now that he has brought it back to life.

He can also assist you as a translator with doctor’s appointments, opening a bank account, legal matters etc. He worked for over 3 years as a waiter and food prepper at various restaurants here in Cuenca.

Elix speaks perfect English. He is your “go to” guy to help you in many areas.

Looking for a translator/interpreter? Are you struggling with internet?

I am Maria Penafiel, a law student. A little background about myself: I am 24-years old, and I speak fluent English, along with that, I have also studied German and, as of now, I am studying Italian. I love diversity which is why I love to travel. I have been to Italy, the US, and also have traveled within Ecuador. I’ve been to the Galapagos, the Amazon, Chimborazo, Quito and Banos de Ambato. My beautiful country is full of diversity and I am excited for you to get to experience it. I am already planning my upcoming trip. I am currently working in a local law firm while working on my thesis (Senior project as you might know it), so I’m almost ready to get my law degree.

I have many different work experiences such as labor law, family, company incorporation, civil and criminal issues, and mediation. I have experience in translating legal or non-legal documents. Therefore, I can assist or advise and translate papers that you need to do at the notary’s office, but my experience is not limited to law; if you have any day-to-day errands and the language barrier is an issue, I can help you with it.

I can help you with real estate, leaving the country, buying or renting apartments, houses, vehicles. Also, I know you deserve to get the service that you have paid for, therefore, I can help you communicate with any company and/or person that you might need. I am not a health insurance agent and do not represent any company but speak English fluently. If your agent is not helpful, I can advocate on your behalf to get the health care benefits you deserve.

I do not solve Internet problems, but I can help you deal with the Internet provider to report slow Internet or Internet cuts. I can help you with any difficulty you may have with service bills, telephone plans, electricity or water bills, coordination between hospitals and health insurance plans, etc. Don’t miss those special promotions. As you might know, Internet/cable services and many more, have special sales when you ask for it. I can help you look for a cheaper alternative that is better suited for you. So don’t be shy. I can intermediate as an interpreter to get the best deal for you. If you need to shop or go out on the town and need a translator, I can help you to break the language barrier.

I charge $9.50 an hour, but if you need more than two hours you can get a discount. If we need to go in person to an office and you need transportation we can go in my car, it will be an extra (but usually it is minimal). Rest assured that we have all the security measures in place, we protect you and ourselves. I’m happy to help you in any way I can.

I can come for you or we can meet at a specific place in the city. Let’s get you the best “Cuencana” experience.

Let me be your translator and advocate, I want to be able to help you so you can communicate.

Give a cat a home

Months ago a cat just showed up in our backyard. In the beginning we thought she was sick and started to feed her. Then we found out she was pregnant and decided to keep her untll she would have her kittens. We took good care of her and gave her kittens in adoption, also we took her to a vet to be sterilized. We have children and two cats already. We had to move and the space doesn’t let us add another member to the family. We would love to keep her but is just not possible to do more for now. She’s docile, calm, enjoys human company. Also, we taught her how to use her sandbox. The vet said we should take her back to the place she showed up in the first place and leave her there, but we want a better future for her.

Give me a call if you have any other ideas or are interested to take her in.
