A little bit about me

Hi, my name is Vivian, I'm a recent college graduate, and I love working with kids. I’m certified in first aid and CPR, and I’ve recently passed a background check through Checkr that I can send you. I've been babysitting since I was twelve, and I have worked at summer camps for three years. While in college, I was an aid at an elementary school where I supervised around twenty elementary-aged kids. I also spent a year in Paris as a nanny for an infant and a toddler, and teaching elementary-age children English. I love working with kids because I love to be creative and play around, and I am able to really connect with them on a personal level. Like many children, I am super into cartoons, making slime, arts and crafts, and hide and seek. I think I am able to be a friend to kids, but also a supervisor and role model. I also love helping kids with schoolwork and seeing them learn.

A little bit about me

Hi there! I’m Alo — a gentle, intuitive, and creative babysitter who brings calm, connection, and care into every home. I believe childhood should feel joyful, safe, and supported, and I meet each child where they are with empathy and presence.

My approach blends imaginative play, music, movement, and mindfulness — from deep breaths during big feelings to quiet sensory play for winding down. I help kids feel seen, heard, and confident in their emotions and choices.

Families describe me as grounded, creative, and deeply attuned. If you're looking for a sitter who values emotional wellness, creativity, and calm, I’d be honored to care for your little ones.
