Jennifer is 37 and is from Spanish Fork, Utah. She comes from a family with 2 brothers and 1 sister. She is really close to her older sister and her family. She has always wanted to be a mother ever since she was a young child. So, becoming an aunt was definitely a highlight of her life. She just adores her nieces and nephews, and she is proud to hold the title Aunt Nenn Nenn.
Growing up, Jennifer always wanted to be an OBGYN so she could deliver babies and eventually took 3 years of school for OB nursing. Although she never completed her nursing degree, she did obtain a bachelor's in education and loves teaching children. She taught for almost 10 years teaching children of all ages from early childhood as young as 6 weeks old to teenagers in high school. She later went back to school to obtain her Master’s of Education in learning and technology. She now works for a genealogical website creating online learning materials for company employees and customer support representatives.

We have three dogs that live with us. Chance and Jazzy are ours and Harley belongs to Jennifer’s mother. Chance is just the sweetest and most gentle labradoodle; he loves to lay at your feet, play fletch, and run around the backyard. Jazzy is an energetic beagle who loves people. She loves to run, wrestle with Chance and Harley, cuddle, give kisses and play with kids. Harley is a Maltese who is just a cuddle bug, teddy bear. He loves to be wherever his human is and loves belly scratches and cuddles.
