Introduction

【Booking & Rate Update】

Starting from October, my base rate will be updated to ¥2,500 per hour.
As I continue to grow as a childcare professional, I would like to dedicate more time and attention to each child and family, providing thoughtful and high-quality care based on each child’s individual needs, interests, and development.
I will also be adjusting my availability as I prepare for my next step in creating a childcare environment of my own.
Thank you very much for your understanding and continued support.

Hello everyone! Thanks for browsing my profile!
I have over 8yrs experience of babysitting, educator and tutor. After I got qualified in childcare in Australia, I was an aupair in two different countries, Ireland and Finland.

After spending nearly 3.5yrs outside of Japan, I'm still and even more passionated about working with children so I am very excited to say hi to you! I take care children aged from 3months up to 15 years old, including tutoring if you would like.

My major was Sports Science back in Waseda university so I generally love exercises, dancing and singing! I'm into hiking, swimming and any kinds of exercises in my freetime. I value each child’s interests, feelings, and individual pace. Rather than following a fixed set of activities, I focus on creating meaningful play experiences and interactions that are tailored to each child’s personality, needs, and interests.
I can't wait to have fun with your little ones😆

I am currently preparing to create a small, warm, and nurturing childcare environment in Ashiya, where children can feel safe, valued, and free to grow in their own unique ways.
My vision is to provide a home-like setting where children can enjoy meaningful outdoor experiences, connect with nature, and naturally be exposed to English as part of their everyday lives.
Through my international childcare experiences, I hope to create a place where children can develop confidence, curiosity, and a genuine love for learning.

Hei, minä olen Kao, 26-vuotias ja puhun hieman suomea, koska olin au pairina Suomessa. Osaan vain vähän suomea, mutta pystyin kommunikoimaan ja hoitamaan 5- ja 2-vuotiaita lapsia, jotka puhuivat vain suomea.

Experience

I have over 8years of experiences as a babysitter, educator and a teacher for children aged 3months to early teens.

As a babysitter, I took care of lots of children with different age, characters and interests. When I babysit, I value different style of interaction with each child and always try to find the best way to communicate and be engaed.

As an educator at a daycare, I mainly took care of 12months-24 months old children but I also supported other classrooms both younger and older. In Ireland&Finland, I was an aupair for nearly 2years in total. I was basically in charge of helping all of their daily routines such as waking them up, school drop off&pick ups, playing, dinner, night routines and putting them to bed. I enjoyed spending my weekends with families as well and became a "big sister" to them!

Additionally, I used to work at international daycare where children with different backgrounds whose first language is not English come together. I've learnt how to make connection and get interacted with those children as well.

I also have experiences as a tutor for about 4years, I mainly taught children from primary school up to high school. For primary school children I can provide my services in any subjects and for middle&high school children, I teach math&English.

ベビーシッターや保育サポート、幼児教室の先生など3ヶ月〜小学生までのお子様をメインに8年間ほどの経験があります。

My child is a bit shy around new people, but Kao-chan was incredibly kind and warm. My child quickly warmed up to her and they had a great time playing together.
She paid attention to every little detail, which allowed me to leave my child with her without any worries.
Thank you so much for everything.
I’ll reach out with offer soon. Looking forward to meet you again!

We’re a family of 5 visiting Osaka and Kao was absolutely amazing. She watched our 18 month daughter in our hotel room while we went to Universal Studios for the day with our older kids. She was extremely caring, punctual, and felt extremely comfortable entrusting her with the care of our baby girl. Her English is exceptional and communicated with us continuously throughout the day. We highly recommend booking her!

Kao is a wonderful person and caretaker. She took care of our two year old son while we were traveling in Osaka with great care and love. Apart from his daycare teacher, our son is never this comfortable with anyone. Your child is in good hands with Kao.

I appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you all again soon.
