A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Julia! I am 18 years old and I go to Olivet Nazarene University and I’m majoring in nursing. I graduated high school with my CNA and I’ve worked in nursing homes and I’ve done lots of babysitting through the past 5 years. I am a very outgoing, adventurous, bubbly person. I grew up in Idaho, and was raised on camping, fishing, hiking, and quality family time. My favorite thing to do is going on new adventures, skiing, and hanging out with friends. I am a hard worker and have very strong morals. I am very determined, strong willed, and disciplined, but I am always up for a fun time. I thrive in chaos and less orderly environments. I absolutely adore children, especially babies. I think they are Gods gift to us and it is our job to keep them pure and take care of them for as long as we can!
