Booked by 1 family in San Jose, CA

Hi, my name is Vivi and I have been an after school teacher for over five years, working primarily with elementary aged children. I currently work with a Palo Alto based program that provides structured and professional after school care. I bring that same level of structure and consistency into the home by supporting children after a full school day with homework help, emotional regulation, and calm routines that help evenings run more smoothly. My approach works especially well for elementary age children and older toddlers who benefit from guidance, predictability, and positive reinforcement. I have child development units and a strong understanding of age appropriate behavior, transitions, and social emotional development. I am CPR certified and comfortable responding calmly in emergency situations. I value clear communication, reliability, and building trust with families, and I enjoy working with parents who appreciate professional after school support in a home setting. I also have experience in the ABA field, managing behaviors as well as running targets to match client’s needs. I am currently working on earning my RBT.

“I cannot recommend ViVi highly enough. As a single mom, finding someone you trust with your children is incredibly important, but finding someone who genuinely loves them and invests in their happiness is a rare gift. ViVi has truly become a part of our extended family. From day one, her warmth put me at ease, but it was the way she connected with my kids that really stood out. She doesn't just "watch" them; she engages them with such incredible creativity. Whether they are building elaborate forts, creating art projects, or inventing new games in the living Tim, she brings a sense of magic and fun that my kids absolutely adore. They don't just ask when she's coming over—they count down the days. Knowing my children are safe, loved, and having the time of their lives allows me to focus on work or take time for myself without a shred of guilt. She has earned a very special place in their hearts, and mine. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, kind, and deeply caring, look no further.”

I am very familiar with infant and toddler routines, including feeding, diaper changes, nap schedules, and emotional soothing. I believe in providing a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I enjoy engaging children through age-appropriate activities such as reading, singing, sensory play, and creative activities that support early development. I am reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I value clear communication with parents. I am available for occasional babysitting, daytime care, weekends, and infant care. I would love to support your family and provide attentive, high-quality care for your child. 📌 Additional Information 1️⃣Communication: I primarily communicate in Mandarin and am comfortable with basic, everyday English for daily updates and coordination. 2️⃣Care Location: I provide care at my licensed-style home daycare.

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
