Introduction

Hello! You can call me Mariko. I’m a Filipino, but also 1/8 Japanese. I’m very much fluent in English and Tagalog. I can also understand and speak little and basic Japanese.

I’m an ALT and teach Junior Highschool students here in Japan. I have an experience in taking care of toddlers and children. I love children!
I also have a nephew who is 3 years old and loves Thomas train so much. I was born and raised in the Philippines and have lived in Japan for 1 year already.
I’m very passionate and enthusiastic when it comes to taking care of children.

My hobbies are playing basketball and badminton. Back in the Philippines, I used to climb mountains. I love nature!
I was also a Taekwondo black belter in the Philippines. I would love to share all my knowledge in sports to the children I'll be taking care of.
Sharing wonderful cultures of my beloved country would also be wonderful.
I also teach English online. It would also be fun to share my knowledge in English.

Looking forward to the opportunity to take care of your children and your family!

Experience

Philippines:
-I have experience in taking care of toddlers, children and young adults.
-I used to take care of my nephew. From 2020 to 2021. 5 months and up.
-I believe children are so wonderful, so fun to engage with and of course to teach! I certainly think that the children is also our future. Not everything can be really learned in school. It's important that the children can also learn from us.
-When I was college, we used to take care of abandoned children in a government facility in the Philippines for our Immersion in our NSTP subject. My groupmates and I provided them some old clothing, food and most importantly education.
We tried our utmost best to share to them all the important things to learn about life.
They were so close to my heart that every year for my birthday; I visit them, celebrate my birthday with them and share them all the blessings I have in my life.
The children is our future that's why I believe it's best to provide them all the care and love we could give. (1 year) Ages 2 years old up to 9 years old.

Mariko was absolutely amazing. Great communication before sitting. Very polite and the kids really liked Mariko. They asked to have her care for them again the next day. I highly recommend having Mariko sit your children. She is very professional and makes sure your children are safe and have a wonderful time under her care.

I'm so happy to hear that you were satisfied with my service. I would love the opportunity to babysit your kids again! Thank you once again for your kind words. I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here in Japan, and I look forward to the possibility of seeing you all again soon or someday! 🥰

We were fortunate to had Ms Mariko as our babysitter. She is young, smart, and caring, and our kids absolutely loved her. Growing up bilingual (Tagalog/English) herself, she has deep understanding of developing English skills and effectively helps children learn how to communicate in English in a fun way.

お若いですが、とても明るく優しいシッターさんで子どもたちもたくさん遊んでもらいました。
バイリンガルで育った経験と、学校での指導経験をお持ちのシッターさんで、英語での遊びを通して、子どもたちも無理なく英語を使っていました。

Saki

アクティブに活動しながら英語に触れるよりも、落ち着いてじっくり会話をしてくれる方です。子どもとはおもちゃで遊んでもらいました。ALTの先生をしてることもあって、子どもとはすぐに仲良くなってくれました。また、足し算や英語しりとりなど、会話の中で知育になる様な事も取り入れてくださっていて、今度は英語で知育をお願いしたいと思いました。
私自身英語が話せず、英語のみでの対応という点で不安でしたが、ゆっくり話してくださるのと簡単な言葉で分かりやすく伝えてくれるので、英語苦手な私でもコミュニケーションを取ることができました。落ち着いていて話しやすい方です。娘もまた会いたいと言ってます。

I would request her again.
Neither my daughter nor I speak good English. But she spoke gently to us, and played with my daughter. My daughter wanted to play with her more.
