Currently, this babysitter is busy and is not taking any new jobs.

Introduction

Hello!

My name is Lindsay, I am a personable, eccentric and trustworthy babysitter looking to make connections with families who need an extra hand. Besides being a babysitter, my interests are music, theater, dance and arts. Yes, those baby photos you see is of me from 2000! Of course on a family trip to Disney and with my brother for Halloween.

I was previously a full time performer with 10 years experience Internationally. My most recent companies I have worked with have been Shanghai and Tokyo Disneyland. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Theater.

Curating a whimsical, fun and exciting experience for children is something that naturally comes to me. I am eager to curate their interests through; Music - Dance - Role Play - Art, ranging from Princesses, Super-heros, and yes...even Shinkansen lines!

Whatever your child's unique interests may be, I believe it is the quickest and most effective way to curate connection, creativity and gaining confidence. Encouraging these interests through song, art pieces and creative role play allows better connection to the world around, building communication skills and practicing English.

I have experience working and teaching children ages 3-15, some fluent in multiple languages or very limited English. While language can be a limitation to some people, I personally believe in the challenge. I am eager and committed to see them thrive. I am comfortable and confident with English sittings if you need.

Outside of work my hobbies include; exploring Japan with friends, enjoying the neighborhoods of Tokyo, finding the best bakeries in town, reading and performing whenever I can for fun! I am also learning Japanese outside of work.

I understand families require support, trust and honesty when it comes to their children. In my opinion, it is as equally important to create a connection to YOU, the parents. Whether you are a new parent, just recently moved to Japan or taking on so much where an extra hand is required, please know SUPPORT IS HERE! If ever there was a change, scheduling conflicts ect, please know I want to help and am open to feedback, questions and improvements together in this process. After-all, we are a team! I look forward to booking with you soon!
