A little bit about me

My name is Edith Chavez. I have a degree in Psychology and a postgraduate degree in education and special needs. I love psychology and studied at a Mexican university, so I cannot practice my profession in the United States at this time, although I hope to have my studies validated someday. ​​However, that doesn't diminish my knowledge. I speak fluent Spanish and intermediate English. I'm a first-time mom to an active and beautiful little girl named Ruth. I'm looking for a remote or part-time job so I don't have to leave my daughter completely. I am honest, helpful, humble, and very hardworking. I learn quickly and can change diapers, pick up toys, take out the trash, and prepare food if needed. I am meticulous, I like animals and crafts, and I am very creative and respectful. I hope to be a part of your daily routine or whenever needed, caring for and protecting your children as I do my own, who is my reason for being.
