I Need Translator / Helper in Barranquilla

Where to Start,

I live in the USA, Seattle, and I meet a Woman on the internet who lives in Barranquilla. My Spanish, well sucks. Her English, well it also sucks. I am looking for somebody who lives in BAQ that I could hire to translate and help me out a little bit. It would be nice if I could trust him/her on their opinions. Any chance anyone could help me would be fabulous.

Thank You ...
