About Vivian

Hi, My name is Vivi! I'm an energetic and bubbly 22-year-old who was lucky enough to grow up in a very diverse environment as culture, education, empathy and experiences are things that I still value in my adult life! Growing up my mother was a school psychologist for children with disabilities in the LAUSD school system, she enrolled me into a pilot program for neurotypical children to attend the school (McBride school) that was entirely for disabled children. I spent the last year working as an assisted job coach for California Abilities Network, and all my clients were adults with disabilities! My work included attending jobs with the client, supporting them throughout the work day by utilizing grounding/ breath work techniques when emotions would overwhelm, as well as write comprehensive case notes for their family or personal use! I personally value empathy, compassion and respect as a base for any contact with children as we learn so much about what to accept in life as a child.
