A little bit about me

I am an international student from Spain. I am currently studying for a master's in financial mathematics, while I also study for my CFA. I came to the US with a swimming scholarship to obtain my undergraduate degree in economics. I am a really healthy person and I am positive I can cook a thing or two as I always meal prep for myself. I exercise a lot, thus I would be happy to run, play any games, or even teach the kids how to swim. I grew up in a traditional Spanish house with four women, so It was a must for me to be extremely clean and polite. I will be happy to help with housekeeping. I can speak English, Spanish, and I would be happy to help with math homework or anything else. I can also defend myself in painting and drawing. I do not have any certification in the US, but I am a nationally certified lifeguard professor. I have not worked as a nanny in the US, but I tutored two times a week at a chartered school back in Michigan with a program called Athletes Who Care.
