Hi, I am nat1972, 40 years of age, interested in being an agony aunt. I am from New Zealand. I am married with 2 children. I would eventually like to become a professional agony aunt. And get paid for it. My advice is honest, reliable and best to my knowledge. I have good listening skills and want to further educate myself, and offer support where I can. I am caring and empathic and want to help the wider community (ie the internet). I am easily approachable and easy to reach. You can reach me by sending me a message through the site. I look forward to helping you and connecting with you, even make friends with you.

See you soon, Nat
