Introduction

Hello, I am Jacinta :)
I am a canadian traveling in Japan and I have lived here for about 4 months now. I just graduated a degree in Law from the University of Edinburgh and decided to take a year to travel and live in Japan, I really love japanese culture!

My first language is English, I speak french as well! I would be happy to babysit and teach your child in either language. I have lots of experience in childcare, including: tutoring, babysitting, ballet teaching, gymnastics coaching and working with children with special needs. I love art, music, languages, sports and food! I would be able to do all these activities with your children. I also offer online services. Online I would be able to teach: dance, gymnastics, basic music theory or instruments, how to cook, as well as tutor in english or basic french. I am welcome to pets, so this will not be any issue for me.

Right now I am based in Osaka. Before living in Osaka, I worked in Hokkaido teaching skiing. I would be happy to meet your family and help you with childcare. I look forward to meeting you :)

Madame, Monsieur,

Je m’appelle Jacinta, je suis canadienne et je voyage au Japon en visa vacances-travail.
Actuellement, j’habite à Osaka et je veux apprendre davantage sur la culture japonaise.

J’ai de nombreuses années d'expériences avec les enfants au Canada et en Ecosse (baby-sitting).
En 2019, j’ai obtenue un diplôme en droit à l'Université de Edimbourg.
Ma langue natale est l’anglais mais je parle également le français. J’ai étudié le français à l'école secondaire pendant 4 ans et j’ai un certificat de compétences en français.

A mon arrivée au Japan, j’ai travaillé comme instructeur de ski.
J’adore l’art, la musique, les langues et la nourriture.
Je peux enseigner à vos enfants différentes activités telles que la danse, la gymnastique, l’art, la musique et l’anglais. 　

Dans l’attente d’une réponse de votre, je vous prie d'agréer, Madame, Monsieur, mes sincères salutations.

Jacinta

Jacinta is a really good, smart and easy-going babysitter with perfect skills and compassion. After several minutes both of my kids began to really enjoy playing with her, althogh my dauguter is usually timid and needs to spend much more time in being used to a new babysitter. She is brilliant and talented.
