Hello I am Amalia from Argentina. I am Spanish speaker fluent English. I love animals! I grow up with 2 dogs and I have been nannying for 10 year to families with cats and dogs!!!
I have two amazing dogs of my own and know how hard it is sometimes to find people who can pop in and check on them or pet sit when we are out of town. So I thought I would put myself out there as one who is willing and able to do it for others when needed.
