Introduction

Hello, my name is Huong, but you can call me Nadine.

Graduated from HCMC University of Education in Vietnam, majoring in French language, I am a responsible mother with 10+ years of experience caring for my kids, babysitting for friends and siblings, over 4 years of experience teaching English as a tutor in Tokyo. I am quardrilingual in English, Japanese, Vietnamese and French, was born and raised in Vietnam and have lived in Japan for 13 years.
Looking after kids requires a lot of energy and attention to detail, but I enjoy it wholeheartedly. I love the kids, I love teaching. And my friendly, creative, open-mind personality make me get along with them in no time. I am confident in my ability to take care of your kids, to make them feel safe, secure and loved at all time while I am there.

Bonjour, je m'appelle Huong, mais vous pouvez m'appeler Nadine.

Obtention du Baccalauréat en langue française de l'Université de Pédagogie de Hochiminh-ville au Vietnam, je suis une mère responsable avec plus de 10 ans d'expérience de garde d’enfants de ma propre famille et de mon entourage (de mes amis et de mes sœurs). Langue maternelle vietnamienne, je parle japonais, anglais, français couramment. Par ailleurs, j’ai déjà travaillé comme une tutrice d’anglais à Tokyo pendant plus de 4 ans.
Travailler avec les enfants exige de la patience, de la pédagogie et beaucoup de l’énergie, mais je le prends plaisir de tout coeur. J'aime les enfants, j'aime enseigner. Empathique et créative, je suis en mesure d’offrir aux enfants qui me sont confiés une expérience positive et enrichissante, en adaptant les activités selon leurs intérêts personnels (musique, craft, jeux ludiques, etc.)

J'attends impatiemment l'opportunité de m'occuper de vos enfants!
PS: Comme je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de communiquer en français au Japon depuis longtemps, mes compétences à l’oral ne seront pas aussi fortes. Si vous souhaitez que je garde vos enfants en français, veuillez organiser un entretien en ligne et ensuite décider, merci de votre compréhension.

Xin chào, tôi là Hương, có thể gọi tôi là Nadine nếu tên Hương khó phát âm.

Tốt nghiệp Đại học Sư phạm thành phố Hồ Chí Minh, Việt Nam, chuyên ngành tiếng Pháp, hiện đang sống ở Tokyo được 13 năm rồi. Tôi nói được 4 thứ tiếng: tiếng Việt, tiếng Nhật, tiếng Anh và tiếng Pháp, tôi có kinh nghiệm hơn 4 năm dạy tiếng Anh ở Tokyo.
Tôi hiện là mẹ của 2 đứa con, cộng thêm việc trông nom các cháu con chị tôi, thỉnh thoảng chăm con giúp bạn bè tôi, việc chăm sóc trẻ con dường như trở nên rất quen thuộc đối với tôi, và tôi có thể chơi với chúng mãi không biết chán. Chăm sóc các em nhỏ đòi hỏi cần có nhiều năng lượng, sự kiên nhẫn, phương pháp ‘’giáo dục’’ riêng…nhưng tôi tự tin là tôi có thể chăm sóc các em, giữ cho các em an toàn, an tâm, vui vẻ và luôn tràn ngập tình yêu thương. Tôi là người luôn vui vẻ, dễ gần, cực sáng tạo, tôi thích hát, nhảy, đọc sách, cùng các em sáng tạo ra nhiều mẫu thủ công thú vị, các trò chơi vui nhộn… phù hợp với từng độ tuổi của trẻ.
Tôi rất mong có cơ hội được chăm sóc cho con của quý vị!
PS: Do lâu rồi không có cơ hội được giao tiếp bằng tiếng Pháp nên kỹ năng nói của tôi sẽ không thực sự mạnh. Nếu muốn tôi làm việc sử dụng tiếng Pháp, vui lòng sắp xếp 1 buổi phỏng vấn online rồi hãy quyết định, chân thành cảm ơn!

Experience

I started babysitting when I was still a college student. I got the chance to take care of my very first nephew for 3 years. After that, I’ve had more great experiences with babysitting free for my friends and my family. Since I have a 10 year-old daughter and a 5 year-old son, I am familiar with how to take care of kids. I know how to keep them safe and amused in different healthy ways. I love to dance, play and run with children and sing songs. Also, I am able to do creative projects with children (please take a look at my photos). Moreover, I am a huge fan of languages, I enjoy teaching my kids, my students and having fun with them while they learn.

Nadine was great. She was incredibly engaged with our kids. Long term she was not available for our specific needs but I highly recommend her for other familes.

Nadine is an exceptional babysitter! I am truly impressed by her care and attention to detail when looking after my 1.5-year-old son, Thomas. I wish we could have her babysit him more often before we depart in April, but her high demand speaks volumes about her capabilities. It's wonderful that she can communicate with Thomas in Vietnamese, reflecting her understanding of our cultural background as I am Vietnamese myself. Additionally, Nadine goes above and beyond by regularly sending me pictures and updates about Thomas, which gives me peace of mind while we're away.

Should we ever return to Tokyo, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Nadine again for her excellent babysitting services.

Nadine came 5 minutes early which we greatly appreciated. Our son enjoyed his time with her and she was very patient with him during bedtime as he didn't want to go to sleep and wanted to continue to play with her. She was also very communicative which put us at ease. Thanks again Nadine for taking care of our precious child!

Nadine was great with our 15 month old son! She was proactive about learning what his routines were and what he enjoyed, and was very much at ease taking care of him. She is friendly and caring. He seemed sad when she left, which is always a good sign! I highly recommend her services.

ナディーンさんはシッターに慣れていて、安心して息子を任せることができました。日本語が分かるようで、息子が話しかけるとそれを理解し、英語で返事をしてくれます。まだ英語が分からない息子にもたくさん英語で話しかけてくれました。機会があればぜひまた彼女にシッターをお願いしたいと思っています。

Nadine was an awesome babysitter! She was very communicative prior to the sitting and really a kind, fun and caring sitter for our kids. I did not worry as she was very responsible and confident due to experience and a great attitude. She had the kids all day in Daiba and kept them busy as they are very high energy. We would love for Nadine to babysit again in the future. Thank you Nadine!

She is kind and good with children.

After she leaves my daughter says, "I want to see her again!" She said many times after she left.

子供2人を見て頂きました。大変だったと思いますが、さすがプロのシッターさんだなと感じました。今まで英語にほとんど触れたことのない我が家でしたが、一緒になって遊ぶうちに私自身とても勉強になりました。
また、子供たちはたくさん遊んでぐっすり寝てくれました。

We think that nadine was not much experience and knows how to take care of child. My daughter keeps crying on her i told her not to bring her outside but when we went home i saw at the lobby of our hotel she brought out my child without my permission or even messaging me! And i also feel she is rude on me and disrespectful. She dont greet me or say hi on me when she arrives at the hotel. And she keep telling me on how to do and manage things. She ask me so many things about on how to do and how what is she cries what should she do. U must be professional enough to know this kind of job!

And also don’t tell on your profile u can speak french fluently when you can’t even speak the language. She keep messaging me on what time should i go home and hurrying us to go home. You are paid to do sitting so that we can enjoy our trip atleast. And it was night the baby is sleeping…

Dear Akiko-san,
Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. I’m very sorry I failed to meet your expectations.
I can’t fix the past but you have my personal commitment to improve the way I serve every customer. Until then, please accept my sincerest apologies.
Regards,
Nadine

ほぼ全て英語で対応してもらいましたが、子どもも自然に遊んでいて(返事は日本語でしたが、言われている事は大体理解しているんだなとよくわかりました)、楽しそうな様子が伝わりました。
また是非お願いしたいです。

Nadine is a wonderful person. She often talks to children. It will grow the language skill of children. My daughter was in a bad mood when she came to our home, but she soon got in a good mood. I think she is a very skilled sitter. She is a person who has high proficiency in Japanese as well as English. Everybody can be satisfied with communicating in Japanese.

Nadine (Huong) was really helpful to take care at such short notice of our 5yo girl for a day. They didn’t stop laughing and enjoying together, while playing and learning. She even taught French to our little girl. I would warmly recommend her.

Hearing the positive feedback from you made my day! I did have a lot of fun with your little princess! Thank you so much!
