Does anyone have an idea where english speakers can get jobs in Buenos Aires?I know there is teacjing English possibilities. What about tour guiding or perhaps working in a backpackers? Any ideas or contacts would be great!

Unemployment in Argentina is very high so there is little scope for locals and foreigners to find work.
There are loads of foreigners looking for work in Buenos Aires and thousands of qualified Argentines living on the streets. It is not a good time to be going there without enough cash to support yourself. I do not mean to rain on your parade, I wish you luck, but you have got to be realistic.
* I have been posting here for several years. I must have read hundreds of messages by now from people who want to find work in Argentina. I also have relatives in Argentina, among them a physician, an attorney, an architect, and a television producer. Two of those four are doing work outside their own fields because they cannot find work for which they were trained. Some time ago, I suggested that foreigners who were able to find work in Argentina come back and post here; the only person who took me up on that suggestion was a young man who went to Argentina with the intention of teaching English in Buenos Aires. After a month or so, he gave up and used his savings to travel around the country instead.

There's no country on earth with 100% employment- Can you say that a foreign worker steals somebody's job?---It's absurd!
Conversation clases are better with native english speakers...don't you think?
The famous Argentinian story of brain surgeons driving a taxi might be true....but ...COME ON!!
Don't take into account just one of the answers you get-
You'll be welcome in Argentina, as maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaany foreign workers have always been.

right, she will be welcome in Argentina, but that doesn't change that it will be quite hard that she finds a job.
It's hard to find a job,
harder to find a good job,
and there are many travellers trying to do same (how many times was this asked here? and Jorge is right, how many came back to tell their success?).
Of course, one among them will get it, and that one could be her.
contacts help here as everywhere, more than encouraging words (which are nice, of course).
if you have guide studies try to contact some main travel agencies, as

The thing is that it's a two way street, and argentine workers are not welcomed abroad (at least not in the same way foreign workers are wlecomed in Argentina).
It's 100x times easier for a dutch to get a legal job in Buenos Aires than it's be for me to get a job in Amsterdam.
