A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Mary Betterson, I'm a Sophomore Sociology & Criminology double major at Howard University. I'm the third child from a big family of 9 and have years of experience caring for my four younger siblings. I have experience caring for children from infant-teen as well as tutoring elementary and middle school. A little bit more about myself; I'm 19 years old and a former military brat from Cleveland OH by way of Goldsboro NC. I enjoy reading, cooking, and baking, and when I'm not in class you can usually find me in the library on campus or the nearest coffee shop. At Howard I'm a part of several organizations like Air force ROTC (where I hope to become an officer level military lawyer), the NAACP, and the Chapel to name a few. I really look forward to meeting you and getting connected with the right families!

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."

"Natalia was a Joy to work with. Very attentive and caring with the twins. She has a lot of patience very flexible and became like a part of the family. She is definitely trustworthy which is huge for me and my family. She also did light tasks around the house to help my husband and myself out without us even asking she was such a huge help and a sweetheart. I highly recommend!"
