Monica Lorena $20 per hour for 1 child

I'm a very reliable, energetic and patient person. I'm originally from Colombia so my first language is Spanish but I know English. I have a lot of experience with kids. In my country I work as a teaching assistant for 3 years in a primary school, In USA I worked as an au pair for more than a year and for more than 4 years working for the same family with a neurodivergent kid. I have experience with kids from 6 months to 10 years and special needs kids too. I love kids and I feel very comfortable with them. Right now I’m looking for a nanny position in the morning since I’m going to school in the afternoon.
