A little bit about me
Hi I'm Vivi! I've been living in the US and taking care of children for 31 years. I have a great love and compassion for children and even keep in touch with all the children I've cared for over the years.
The family I'm currently working with are moving overseas so I'm looking for another family to work with.
I mostly enjoy creating loving and fun environment for the children I work with, being outdoors and singing are some of my favorite things. I am very patient and understanding and love to watch little ones gain their independence.

"It's not often you meet people who are truly born for their vocation, but Vivi is. She's been caring for babies and toddlers in our friendship group for ~18 months. She's a living treasure. She narrates her day in song, is thoughtful, kind, patient and exceptional with helping little people navigate the world. Despite her years of experience, she has been very open to working with us on our particular parenting choices. Most importantly, our little girl is always giddy with excitement when she arrives each morning, Vivi is patient and kind. I am more then happy to provide more information."
