Introduction

🌟Experienced, Compassionate Babysitter/Nanny Ready to Care for Your Children🌟

Hello! My name is Shuna, and I am a loving and dedicated babysitter/nanny with 7 years of experience in childcare. I am half Japanese and half Filipina, I can speak English, Tagalog, and basic Japanese. Over the years, I have gained invaluable experience working with children, and I continue to develop my skills to ensure I provide the best care possible.

My journey in babysitting started when I was still in high school, where I cared for children for two years while balancing my studies. Since then, I have continued to work with families from diverse backgrounds, including British, Korean, American, Japanese, and Argentinian families in Japan. I’ve had the privilege of caring for children ages 4 to 15, offering everything from arts and crafts, reading, and games to helping with meal preparation, bathing, and bedtime routines.

I am passionate about fostering a safe, loving, and creative environment for children, and I am open to adapting my approach to suit each family’s unique needs. I also recognize and embrace the importance of cultural diversity in childcare. By understanding different parenting styles, I ensure that my care aligns with each family’s values and preferences.

🎗Qualifications & Experience:
-7 years of childcare experience, including both private babysitting and professional nanny services.
-Certified CPR Provider – your child’s safety is my priority.
-Completed Montessori Early Childhood Education Course – focused on hands-on learning and child development.
-Child Psychology Training – supporting children’s emotional and cognitive growth.
-Currently pursuing a degree in Health Science – to stay up-to-date with the latest in child health and development.

Availability:
⏺️Monday to Friday: 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
⏺️I do request 1-2 days off three times a year to attend Christian Conferences (held in Tokyo or occasionally outside Tokyo).

💡Additional Information:
I am also a passionate individual who enjoys music, sports, photography, and travel. These interests help me engage children in a variety of creative activities. I believe in using these skills to enrich children’s experiences and foster a sense of fun and creativity during my time with them.

I understand how crucial the early stages of a child’s life are, and I am eager to be a guide, teacher, and companion as they grow and explore the world around them.

⚙️Activity Materials & Payment:
To ensure a fun and enriching experience for your child, parents should provide the tools and materials for activities (such as arts and crafts supplies). If you prefer, I can bring these materials and you can reimburse me for the cost after the babysitting session.

🚞Transportation Fee:
Please note that the transportation fee is separate from the babysitting fee and must be covered by the parents. I charge for travel to and from Higashi Akiru Station on the Musashi Itsukaichi Line to your nearest station, as per Carefinder’s guidelines.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Why Families Choose Me:
I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for your child. My strong work ethic, nurturing attitude, and dedication to cultural sensitivity make me an ideal caregiver. I would love to meet with you and your family to discuss your childcare needs and how I can help create a positive, supportive experience for your little one.

Thank you for considering me as a babysitter or nanny for your family. I look forward to hearing from you and having the opportunity to work together soon!💕🙏🏼

Our boys loved having Shauna as their babysitter. She brought some arts and craft activities to our house that she did with the boys, and took them outside for a play. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Shauna as an amazing babysitter! She is great with children and our boys had a lot of fun with her.

Shuna babysat our 3 elementary school aged children so we could have a night out without them. She was great at communicating, very punctual, brought games to play, and was very sweet! The children enjoyed their time with her and she communicated well while we were out. We would highly recommend her for any family visiting the area and I’m sure she would be lovely for repeat sitting. Thank you Shuna!

Shuna was the most wonderful child minder for our two school age daughters. We had the pleasure of her support for our family for 3 years and found her utterly trustworthy, kind, resourceful and creative. We would highly recommend Shuna and think any family lucky to have her support.

笑顔の優しい素敵な方です。
事前に息子の好きな物などを聞いて、遊びを考えてきてくれました。子どもはとても喜んで彼女と遊び、最後にはもっと遊びたいと駄々をこねるほどでした。

私も息子も拙い英語でしたが、丁寧に対応してくださいました。
支払いについても、細かく内訳を送ってくださり、信頼のできる方でした。
来ていただいて本当に感謝しています。
ありがとうございました。

She is a nice, gentle person with a smile.
She asked me beforehand about my son's favorite things to do and came up with a game for him to play. He was very happy to play with her and at the end of the day, he wanted to play more.

My son and I both spoke poor English, but she was very polite and helpful.
She sent us a detailed breakdown of the payment and was very trustworthy.
Thank you so much for coming today.
