Hello,

Thank you for looking at our profile! We are Ann and Valerie. We want to give you a sense of the life we want to provide for your child (or children – we are open to twins or multiples!). We would raise your child with a lot of love, laughter & hugs. We’d teach your child to trust their gut and have self-confidence. We’d do our best to instill values of love, resilience and gratitude. We’d support them in pursuing their dreams, provide them a strong education, and teach them to grow from failures. Your child would have a big extended family (including close friends) who can’t wait to spoil them!

Us as Parents

We have wanted to become parents for a long time. We have so much love to give and things we want to teach our children. Valerie is brilliant at figuring things out and creative projects. Ann is very empathetic and loves all things regarding personal development and personal empowerment. Both of us have had to overcome a lot of adversity in our lives. It’s made us stronger, more resilient people, and it has taught us to really appreciate all the good in life too. We will teach our kids the skills they need to grow up to be healthy, happy, high-functioning adults.

We’ll spend time outdoors in the backyard – kayaking or fishing on the lake behind the house, swimming in the pool, playing ball on the sport court, or working in the yard. In the winter, we’ll go sledding, cuddle in the family room watching a movie, work on a puzzle, play a board game or have a spontaneous dance party! Our kids will feast on delicious ethnic foods (we love to cook & bake)!

Fun Facts About Us

Our dog Sophie is THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD!!! No exaggeration. She is filled with love, cuddles and energy and she LOVES kids!
Ann likes to make up songs and sing them at the top of her lungs while she cooks.
Whenever Nicki Manaj’s song “Starships” comes on, we have to dance to the moves Valerie made up on our first date. We make our friends do it too!
We can’t wait to share our Mexican, German and Indian cultures and traditions.
