Hello! I'm Samarie Diaz, and I'm 21 years old. I relocated to Gainesville just last year to pursue my Master's degree at the University of Florida, which I plan to start next summer. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, so I'm a native Spanish speaker. Additionally, I completed my undergraduate degree in American Sign Language, so I have a solid understanding of that language as well.In my free time, I enjoy a variety of hobbies, including reading, running, traveling, and spending quality time with my family. I've been working with kids since I was 17, and I come from a large family where I'm the oldest among 10 grandkids. This experience allowed me to babysit and care for all of them. Currently, I work for Alachua County Public Schools, where I dedicate my days to nurturing and shaping the young and beautiful minds of our future generations. I'm excited about the opportunity to assist you in taking care of your little ones! (:
