I come from a family of five (myself, my parents, one younger and one older brother) who strongly believes in investing in one another and spending time together. We are very close because we have done a lot of moving around and sometimes that meant knowing very few people other than family, which brought us all very close together. During our travels, French was a requirement so we all learned to speak it fluently. I have babysat for several families and I have my babysitting certificate, and I have helped with church activities involving children such as volunteering for week-long summer camps or for childcare during a Sunday morning service. I have a lot of cousins under the age of 10 and I have always loved spending time with them. My hobbies include writing novels, listening to music, playing piano, and singing. I am considered a gentle, patient person with a lot of compassion and caring qualities, and I just love spending time with kids.
