Introduction

Hey y'all! My name is Elissa. I have been living in Tokyo for four years now, and I'm a student at Waseda University. I am half Japanese and half American, raised in California. My native language is English, but I also speak Japanese and French.

My favorite thing to do with children is read them stories, and make up games with them. I love enjoying how creative they are and engaging their imaginations. I also like to watch them learn; I am an experienced tutor just because it makes me so happy to see kids have that magical moment when they realize just how smart they are. I have a talent for "difficult" children, or hyperactive ones; perhaps because I was once a kid like that too. I am trained in child and infant CPR/ first aid. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, and have experience with children from 2 years old to 14. Feel free to ask me for any other details. I love, love, love animals; so pet care is no problem for me.

Salut! Je m’appelle Elissa. Je suis étudiante à l'université de Waseda. Je suis de Californie, mais j'habite à Tokyo depuis trois ans. Mon père est américain et ma mère est japonaise. Puisque j'étudie le français depuis 7 ans et que j'ai passé beaucoup de temps en France quand j'étais jeune, je parle le français aussi.

J'ai neuf ans d'expérience avec les enfants, 2 ans à 14 ans. Je travaillais dans mon église en Californie et Tokyo depuis trois ans. Aussi, j'ai travaillé pour ma famille et des autres depuis que j'avais 12 ans. J'adore lire avec les enfants parce-que j'aime voir leur imagination et l'explorer avec eux. Aussi, j'aime aider les enfants avec l'école, parce-qu'ils sont très intelligents et je pense qu'il faut encourager les enfants. Si vous cherchez une personne qui peut prendre soin de vos enfants et peut parler français (assez bien), envoyez-moi un message, s'il vous plaît.

英語に少し苦手意識のある娘でしたが、ありさがフレンドリーに接してくれて、すぐに馴染み
もう次の日には「次いつ来るの?」と楽しみにするようになりました!

Elissa started with us this week- she is going to come to us weekly. Prior to coming, she asked lots of good questions and come prepared to win my 2 year old son over! I was very nervous about how my son would react to someone new especially given we have been very quiet with Covid and have just moved back to Japan. But he didn’t even realise we had left! It was a huge relief.

I would recommend Elissa wholeheartedly.

Elissa has a welcoming personality and is a responsible person. She is multilingual and enjoys teaching math to children. She hopes to share her love for art and math with the children in the CareFinder community. If you are looking for a caring sitter who can teach, enjoy art together as well as take great care of your children, Elissa would be the perfect sitter for your family!
