Hi, there! My name is Virginia and I’m a freshman in college. I’m studying communications and journalism. I’m also involved in leading clubs and Bible studies here at school. I have three nieces and three nephews back at home in Dallas, Texas. I love them so much. Their ages range from 3-10 at the moment. I have also babysat for couples at churches since I was young. I miss getting to babysit at home so I’m hopeful to help many parents out nearby!
