Nanny in Manchester

Hello everyone! My name is Macarena, I am from Lima, Peru and have been living in Manchester for the last 2 years. I am currently studying for my bachelor's at University, which I am enjoying; and was hoping to get into sitting in my free time. I have been around children and pets for as long as I can remember and love it. I am fun, charismatic and very crafty, also, I can think on my feet and know first aid training. I am pretty good in the kitchen (thanks to my Latino roots) and can even teach your children some Spanish if you would like to! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like my services! Thank you:)
