A little bit about me

Hello! I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced nanny with 10+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, including babies, infants, toddlers, school-age children, children with special needs, and multiple children at the same time.
I’m experienced with daily routines and responsibilities such as meal preparation, school drop-offs and pickups, homework, extracurricular activities, bedtime routines, children’s laundry, and keeping children’s spaces organized.
I would describe myself as caring and nurturing, patient and trustworthy, reliable and punctual, responsible and organized, energetic and positive, and a good communicator. I’m safety-conscious and comfortable working independently while keeping parents informed and maintaining open communication.

I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position with a family where I can bring my experience, dependability, and genuine love for working with children. I look forward to becoming a trusted and caring part of your family!

"I’m so grateful to have found her! As a single mom, having someone I can trust with my daughter means so much to me. She was incredibly caring, patient, responsible, and made both my daughter and me feel comfortable from the very beginning. She was always willing to help when I needed it, and I truly appreciated knowing that my daughter was in good hands. My daughter absolutely loved spending time with her, and that gave me so much peace of mind. She was a huge help during a time when I really needed extra support, and I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I worked as a volunteer at an organization where I supported children ages 5 to 12 through social projects and extracurricular activities.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Some indoors activities I like to do with kids are, painting, puzzles, guess what game, dance, drawings, memory games, performing arts, cook, and etc…
Outside activities, swimming, sports, playground, play dates, to to the farm, go to the zoo, go to library, and etc…

The most important part about being a nanny...

The memories and love I receive from the children are truly priceless to me. Many of the children I’ve cared for have made me sweet letters, drawings, and little gifts. These thoughtful gestures mean so much to me because they remind me of the special bond we built. I treasure these memories and keep them close to my heart—they are some of the most rewarding parts of being a nanny.

My experience with special needs children...

Typical child (autistic).

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have so many wonderful memories with the children I’ve cared for that it’s hard to choose just one. Every child is special to me, and each one has left a unique and meaningful place in my heart. I cherish the sweet memories, the love, and the special moments we share—moments that sometimes make me wish I could make time stand still.
My favorite part of being a nanny is becoming a part of the family. When I’m with the children and their parents, it never feels like just a job. I truly enjoy spending time with them, sharing everyday moments, and watching the children grow. Building a trusting relationship with the whole family is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

Part-Time Child Care Provider Available in San Jose, CA: Vivien T.

I have been teaching swim lessons, both public and private, since I was 15, working with children as young as 1 year old and as old as 12 years old. Being in the water, I had to pay close attention to up to 5 kids at a time while teaching them each one to become a better, more comfortable swimmer. -- I also have volunteered at my aunt's preschool for many years.

I took several college courses on child development and also obtained my CPR & First Aid certification for my swim instructor position.

I have cared for many families of different sizes and ages, and look forward to meeting and caring for more great kids. I also have a few years of experience dogsitting in clients' homes, and love all animals! Friends call me the "cat/dog whisperer".
