Hi! I’m Vivian (Viv) I’m currently a student at UBC. I am currently an Early Childhood Education minor and Sociology/Political Science major and Arts Co-Op student.
I have plenty of experience teaching and working with kids (age 1-17). In particular, I am experienced in working with kids trying to learn/practice a foreign language. I also have experience babysitting young children (1.5+ years).
In my free time, I enjoy picking up new hobbies, which I in turn can teach your children. I run a small handmade beaded jewelry business, and can teach beading or other handicrafts (such as origami, print making, collaging, etc). I have also taught several of the children I have previously babysat how to solve a Rubik’s cube.
Additionally, having lived across three continents (Canada, Hong Kong and France), I can offer a unique world view and language experiences to your children.
