I'd describe my personality as bubbly, thoughtful, patient
I like working with kids because it's very rewarding seeing them learn something new everyday and be able to be apart of the process
In my spare time, I like to go to the beach, workout, make things out of ceramic clay, hangout with my friends
I am a happy, charismatic person. I like children, I like to take care of them and help whenever I can. I am fluent in Spanish, but still learning to be fluent in English. I'm able to understand, however, not express myself fluently.
I've nannied children from the ages of 6 months old to 13 years old. I'm comfortable with cooking for children, changing diapers, and playing games- whether it be hide and seek or outside in the park. I'm very reliable, my phone will always be on me in case of any emergencies.
