Introduction

Hello! My name is Olena, and I am a 52-years old woman who has been living in Tokyo since 2007. I am fully trilingual in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, and I also speak and understand basic Japanese, French, and Malay.

I am a professionally certified TESOL teacher with extensive work experience, and I truly enjoy working with children in a supportive and engaging way. As a mother, I have raised my daughter, who is now 18 and will be leaving for France this summer to continue her education.

With more time on my hands, I would love to share my passion for caring and supporting children with other families. I am responsible, patient, and attentive, and I aim to create a safe, warm, and enriching environment for every child I work with.

I also enjoy spending quality time with children through a variety of creative and educational activities, such as reading books, storytelling, creating simple crafts like origami, simple cooking, drawing, and other fun hands-on activities that encourage creativity and learning.

I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Олена, мне 51 год, и я живу в Токио с 2007 года. Я свободно владею тремя языками — английским, русским и украинским, а также говорю и понимаю на базовом уровне японский, французский и малайский языки.

Я сертифицированный преподаватель TESOL с большим профессиональным опытом и искренне люблю работать с детьми, создавая для них поддерживающую и увлекательную атмосферу. Как мама, я вырастила дочь, которой сейчас 18 лет, и этим летом она уезжает во Францию, чтобы продолжить своё образование.

Теперь, когда у меня появилось больше свободного времени, я с радостью хотела бы делиться своей любовью к заботе о детях и их развитию с другими семьями. Я ответственная, терпеливая и внимательная, и стремлюсь создать безопасную, тёплую и развивающую среду для каждого ребёнка, с которым работаю.

Мне также нравится проводить время с детьми, занимаясь различными творческими и развивающими активностями, такими как чтение книг, рассказывание историй, создание простых поделок, например оригами, несложная готовка, рисование и другие увлекательные занятия, которые помогают развивать творческие способности и любовь к обучению.

Буду рада возможности помочь вашей семье!

Experience

I have extensive experience working with children in both educational and home settings. In addition to raising my own daughter as a trilingual speaker, I taught English in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in the early 2000s to the young children (aged 9 and 5) of the Managing Director of Shiseido.

After returning to Japan, I provided private English lessons to elementary and middle school students. From 2007 to 2010, I taught English at the International School Rosinka, working with half-Japanese, half-Russian students aged 6-17.

Alongside my formal teaching roles, I have regularly supported families by babysitting and offering English and Russian lessons at home several times a month.
