I am originally from Colombia where I practiced law for several years before moving to the US with my daughter. My daughter is now 30 years old, a college graduate, and works for one of the largest engineering companies in the world. For the past few years I have been working in real estate as well as working as a part-time Nanny taking care of some wonderful children. Recently I have realized that I prefer working with children than working in the real estate industry and have decided to make a change. I am now looking to find a family that can benefit from my years of experience working with children. I am looking for a full-time position as a Nanny. I am easy to get along with, am good with children, am a good cook, and very flexible. I hope to find a family who I can assist for many years to come.      Valid Driver's License: Yes  Has a Vehicle: Yes  Can Swim Well: Yes  Smoking Status: Non-Smoker  Comfortable with pets: Yes  Languages spoken: Spanish, English    My Nationality: American  Background Check: Willing to obtain  Eligible to work in the U.S.: Yes  Civil Status: Divorced  Religion/Spiritual Practice: Christian        Work Experience & Education Background   10 years experience, 3 references I have worked as a nanny for two different families for the last ten years.
