Hi! My name is Nathalie! I am 24 years old. I currently reside in the beautiful state of Florida in the U.S. I'm currently in the U.S Air Force. My enlistment ends at the end of October. At the beginning of my enlistment, I was trained to be a linguist. I went to school over a year to learn Pashto, one of the languages of Afghanistan. Currently, I'm a dental assistant. I've been working in a clinical setting for about 4 years now. I am CPR certified and trained in first aid. I'm also trained in starting IVs. I am getting ready to finish my 6 year enlistment in the Air Force and I'm excited to embark on a new journey to a new place.

I love children! I believe with all of my heart that children keep you young. I know I don't have a lot of paid experience due to my current employment. However, before joining the military, I worked as a substitute teacher for a year at Judson Independent School district. I was able to substitute for various classes and got to experience what it was like working with children of all ages. It was wonderful! As a result, I would like to be a teacher in the future. Moreover, as a teenager, I took care of my infant brother from birth till he was about 8. Also, I've periodically watched the children of my co-workers. Additionally, I watched children for a church in my town for a 3 month period. I was also a mentor for a high school student at a local high school for a period of 7 months. I had to meet with her weekly to discuss her future and how to improve her grades. Due to my current employment, I've grown accustomed to hectic schedules, working under pressure, great responsiblity, and early mornings. I am very punctual, and I work well with others.

As for my personal life, I am not married and I have no children of my own. My mother is my roommate. After my step-father passed away, she moved in with me to have a change of scenery. I live in Fort Walton Beach. It's a small town right on the coast! It's known for it's emerald green waters and beautiful white sand beaches! Gorgeous! My sister also moved down here. Both my sister and mom are nurses. I own my own house in Florida. I own a parrot, a pot belly pig, and a long-haired dachshund dog. They are super friendly and a lot of fun! I just recently got my open water PADI scuba diving certification! Very proud of that!

I am super excited to be part of a new family on a different side of the world! I am open minded and I adapt well. I hope you are as excited as I am!!! Let's embark on this adventure together!
