hey Crissy long time no see, your looking nice as usual. i also am bi lingual and speak English and Spanish, the best way to become a translator or an interpreter is by word of mouth and maybe some local advertising. i live here in the states and advertise in local Hispanic/Latino stores in the beginning it was very slow but once i had a few clients the word of mouth got out that a Gringo could read write and speak Spanish it has been a pretty lucrative deal.
