Introduction

Hello,

My name is Adi 😊

I am a multilingual educator from Wales, U.K., with a multicultural background and nearly 20 years of experience working with children, including over 15 years in education and childcare.

I have been living in Japan for 12 years, and for the past eight years, I have specialised in early childhood education working with young children.
My professional experience includes teaching at international and bilingual schools in Japan, teaching English as a foreign language to students of various ages around the world, and providing childcare support for families in both the U.K. and Japan.

As part of my work with young children, I have attended various professional trainings, including first aid and emergency preparedness training for natural disasters.

Academically, I have studied Medical Engineering and International Business Management at accredited British universities, and I am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Education at an American institution.


💴 Regarding Fees:

My rates may vary depending on each family’s needs, the number of children, the required level of support, and the nature of the activities requested. Please feel free to discuss your requirements with me, and I will be happy to provide a suitable rate.

🎨 My Interests

I have always enjoyed creative and hands-on activities, including drawing, calligraphy, music, singing, dancing, swimming, arts and crafts, and volunteering. I also enjoy cooking, reading, photography, science, literature, performing arts, and exploring different cultures and languages, especially through travel.

Many of these interests naturally become part of the activities and experiences I create for children. I love encouraging children to explore, create, ask questions, and develop confidence through meaningful play and interaction.


👩‍🏫 My Approach

My goal is to provide warm, high-quality childcare that is tailored to each family’s individual needs. I also have experience supporting families who prefer a higher level of privacy and discretion.

As an educator, I incorporate principles from the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP), focusing on inquiry-based and child-led learning. I am also inspired by Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies, which value children’s independence, curiosity, creativity, and natural development.
These approaches are reflected not only in my teaching but also in the childcare experiences I provide for families.


✨ What I Offer

* Childcare support available in English and/or Japanese
* Natural English interaction through play and daily routines
* Play-based, inquiry-based, and Montessori-inspired activities
* Encouragement of independence, confidence, and curiosity
* Calm, structured, and nurturing care
* Japanese study support available up to elementary school level
* English study support available for students of all ages and levels

I strive to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where children feel happy, respected, and confident to be themselves.


📝 Additional Notes

* My main focus is childcare and education and I am more than happy to provide detailed information about the time I have spent with the children I care for to keep the families informed and reassured.
* I am happy to assist with all child-related needs, including meals, bath time, bedtime routines, bathroom assistance, and tidying up after the children. However, I do not provide general household cleaning or chores unrelated to childcare.
* I am comfortable working in homes with pets. However, please let me know in advance, as I have recently developed allergies and may need to prepare medication beforehand.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my profile.

Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions.
I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and spend meaningful time with your children. 😊

Finding a trustworthy nanny in a foreign country is not easy, but she made it simple for us. She is caring, gentle, and very experienced with children. She sent us photos and videos every night while we were away, which gave us real peace of mind. We felt safe leaving our child with her. Highly recommend.
She took care of our baby in the hôtel rom, very convenient.

Adi was amazing, better than I expected. She was very quick to reply, arrived on time and kept us updated with the babies and the babies loved her. I will be using her services again and definitely recommend her.

この度は娘の面倒をみていただき、本当にありがとうございました。
人見知りの娘があっという間に楽しそうに遊んでいたので、正直驚いておりました。
Adiさんの柔らかいお人柄と、自然な距離の詰め方のおかげだと思います。
また、娘に無理に話させることはせず、会話の中に少しずつ英語を取り入れてくださるなど、こちらの心配していた点にしっかり寄り添ってご対応いただき、大変安心いたしました。
また機会がございましたら、ぜひよろしくお願いいたします。

とっても良い先生に出会えてよかったです!😊
メッセージも丁寧で日本語OK🙆‍♀️
子供の扱い、子供に英語を教えるのに慣れていらっしゃいました。うちの子は英語を嫌がりはじめた6歳で、挨拶程度しかできないですが日本語でヒントだしてわかるように話してくれるので一緒に過ごすとこに慣れていき、英語のシャワーをたくさん浴びました。子供はあまり乗り気ではなかったですが、これをなんと言ったらいいかを先生に聞いてなんとか英語で話そうとしていました😊
また次回もお願いします!

We had Adi as our babysitter today and from the very beginning she was incredibly professional. She provided clear communication regarding her rates, so there were no unexpected surprises.

Her communication throughout the day and her attention to our children’s needs were exceptional. The activities she suggested suited our girls perfectly. Adi went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and engaged.

As this was our first time using the app, Adi made the entire experience easy and reassuring by taking the time to genuinely connect with both us and our children.

I highly recommend Adi she is kind, caring, professional and provided outstanding babysitting services for our family.

Thank you, Adi. Our family is so grateful for your assistance. Not only were we able to enjoy an activity from our bucket list as parents, but our girls also created wonderful fun memories during our time in Japan.
