A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Nuria and I’m looking to support another family as a nanny, mommy-helper, babysitter or assistant.   I’m from Spain and have been living in San Francisco for over a year studying English.  I currently support a family part-time (two days a week) and I would like to support another family. 

With my current family, I help with a variety of things such as childcare, housework, cooking, organizing and help the family prepare for activities and events.   I also speak Spanish to the kids and teach them how to read and write.   I also help take care and walk the family dog.  

I really enjoy working with children and families.   I’m energetic, love adventuring in the city and able to navigate the city well with public transportation.  I can also drive and have an active international driving license.  I have a positive and enthusiastic attitude and help create a happy and comfortable environment for kids in support of the family.   References available.
