Presently am a nanny for past 4 years, infant and 4 year old been with same family for 4 years in the states see below never worked in DR
Love the people, the weather and the slower pace of live...the people are truly amazing, the country beautiful and it offers a place for us to use our skills and talents to benefit others
only one concern.....the hurricaine...but them we have weather issues here
Michigan, USA
Nanny, dental office, homeschooling, Catholic Sunday School teacher
since first son born...previously was dental office manager but retired to use my skills as a nanny and home schooler and teacher. Husband is currently dental lab technician but has CDL drivers license, has driven truck, worked in lumber yard and steel yard..great knowledge for home repairs
Friends and family
too much hustle and bustle, too much in the electronic and fast paced age and not being able to enjoy the beauty this world has to offer
