Hello Families! I'm Irene from Spain.

I've lived the past 5 years in Germany, besides English and Spanish I also speak fluent german and would be more than happy to use it with the kids.
New in SD after traveling all over California, love this city!
While in Germany, I've worked as a nanny and the experience brought my so much joy I couldn't not do it again. Since I am a personal trainer and I love to prepare different activities for the kids listening to their needs :)
Calm and patient are within me!

Recent reference

"Maddy was a fantastic caretaker for our kids. Often times she would watch over our three plus a few neighborhood friends as well. Even at a young age, it was obvious what a capable individual she is. She went above and beyond. She cooked, cleaned up, played with them, took them to the park and more. She even helped watch our home and pets when we were away. Maddy is intuitive, trustworthy, cheerful and has an easy spirit that children love. Anyone would be lucky to have her as a caretaker."

A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Victoria. I am originally from Colombia but have been in American for the last 5 years. I am the oldest of 5 and I studied Art history. I have never been a nanny before but had in my youth many years of baby sitting both my younger siblings and other younger kids in the neighborhoods. Since I was young it has been a passion of mine to teach younger kids how to read and paint and introducing them to art. I meditate and spend a lot of times outdoors feeling very lucky and very blessed to live in such a beautiful and artistically rich city. I look forward to sharing my optimism, work ethic and enthusiasm for teaching with your kids and making your life as a parent a little easier.
