Introduction

Hello! My name is Melanie, and I am from Germany. I am currently in Japan on a Working Holiday visa.

I grew up in a big family and have regularly taken care of my younger cousins, as well as children in my neighborhood. Through this, I gained experience with children of different ages and learned how to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them.

I enjoy spending time with children through activities such as playing games, doing arts and crafts, going to the park, or helping with simple daily routines. My approach to childcare is to be patient, attentive, and supportive, while making sure children feel comfortable and happy.
I speak fluent English and German, and I am also able to communicate in basic Japanese. I am happy to speak English with children if desired.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, traveling, and staying active through sports. I especially enjoy cooking simple meals and would be happy to help with light meal preparation if needed.

I am responsible, friendly, and reliable, and I would be very happy to support your family. I look forward to meeting you and your children!

German:
Hallo! Mein Name ist Melanie und ich komme aus Deutschland. Aktuell lebe ich mit einem Working-Holiday-Visum in Japan.

Ich bin in einer großen Familie aufgewachsen und habe regelmäßig auf meine jüngeren Cousinen und Cousins sowie auf Kinder aus meiner Nachbarschaft aufgepasst. Dadurch habe ich Erfahrung mit Kindern unterschiedlichen Alters gesammelt und gelernt, eine sichere, liebevolle und angenehme Umgebung für sie zu schaffen.

Ich verbringe gerne Zeit mit Kindern, zum Beispiel beim Spielen, Basteln, auf dem Spielplatz oder indem ich sie im Alltag unterstütze. Mir ist es wichtig, geduldig, aufmerksam und unterstützend zu sein, damit sich die Kinder wohl und glücklich fühlen.

Ich spreche fließend Deutsch und Englisch und habe Grundkenntnisse in Japanisch. Gerne spreche ich auch Englisch mit den Kindern, wenn gewünscht.

In meiner Freizeit koche ich gerne, reise viel und mache Sport. Besonders koche ich gerne einfache Gerichte und helfe auch gerne bei der Zubereitung von Mahlzeiten.

Ich bin zuverlässig, freundlich und verantwortungsbewusst und würde mich sehr freuen, Ihre Familie zu unterstützen. Ich freue mich darauf, Sie und Ihre Kinder kennenzulernen!

Experience

I have experience taking care of children through my large family and by babysitting in my neighborhood.

Ages of children:
I have mainly cared for children aged around 2 to 10 years old.

Context of care:
My responsibilities included playing with the children, supervising them at home and outdoors, helping with simple tasks, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also supported with basic routines and kept them engaged through fun and age-appropriate activities.

Special needs:
I do not have professional experience with special needs, but I am patient, attentive, and willing to learn and adapt to each child’s individual needs.
