-I am 26 years old. I am a nanny to two wonderful children and I love my job! I am also the childcare director at my church. I graduated with a degree in early childhood education and I do have a teaching license. I taught Pre-K, for two years and then moved on to what I'm doing now. I am one of the lucky ones who has been actually using my degree since graduation.I'm grateful for that.

-I am not married or dating anybody and I'm perfectly happy with it. Yes, I would be happy to get married and raise a family, but I would also be happy to stay single my entire life, as well. Basically, I try to be happy with where my life is currently.

-I am a liberal Christian. Basically, that means that I love Jesus and also love things like marriage equality, women's rights to do what they want with their own bodies, tattoos, body piercing, etc. Basically, Jesus told me to love everyone and that's what I try to do.

-I'm a little bit of a hippie. I love spending hours outside in the warm weather, tie-dying things, making bracelets, being barefoot, loving everyone.

-I love to travel, both for pleasure and for mission trips (which I also consider pleasure). I want to visit as many countries as I can in my life. So far, I've been to Canada, Mexico, Spain, France, UK, Ireland, and Honduras. I know, it's not a very long list, yet, but I have big plans when my student loans are paid off!
