Introduction

Hello. Nice to meeting you here.
I’m Mari from Japan and I have total 11 years of experience working at kindergarten and preschool in Japan. I have license of elementary school teacher, kindergarten teacher and preschool teacher.
In addition, I used to live in Toronto, Canada more than 4 years and I have graduated at the College in Toronto to studied Early Childhood Education there. At that time, I worked with children aged between 1 to 6 years old at daycare as a part time job. Also, I have 3 years of experience as babysitter aged between 2 to 12 years old children.

I am able to speak both Japanese and English. I love spending time with children as playing outside at park, reading books, making some crafts and origami.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you and to meet and take care of your children!
I’m working as a freelance sitter right now. Please feel free to message me.

Our one year old son had great time with Mari, even though it was first sitting. She listened carefully to his needs, spending time in activities he is interested in. Mari is professional and very dedicated to her work. We hope to have Mari with us frequently.

Mari was very professional and did a great job calming our 1yr old who woke during the night. She made us feel safe and at ease that our children would be well looked after while we were gone. Mari was everything we could have asked for in a babysitter.

Mari took great care of my two children (6 and 10). They liked her immediately and I trusted her completely. Thank you, Mari-san!

人見知りする息子と少しずつ距離を縮めてくれました。息子の遊びのペースにも上手に合わせてくれました。英語でずっと語りかけてくれたおかげで、遊んでいる間は知ってる単語だけ答えていた息子が、家でもブツブツ英語を話す機会が増えました。またぜひお願いしたいと思います。

Mari was very kind and gentle to my children. She finds ways how to get my boys’ attention and interests. She plays with them and talks to them both in English and Japanese. She’s very detailed in giving updates and writes down things I needed to know. She communicates well, very professional and she’s punctual.

Mari is a wonderful sitter! She came in well prepared every time, with both activities plans and lesson materials. And she adapted well with my 9 year old’s ever changing needs. She has my full trust. My daughter likes her so much she already asks for her when we are back to Tokyo next time!

何でも自分でやりたい2歳の娘にも優しく寄り添って接して頂きました。少し人見知りの1歳の妹も、途中から膝の上にちょこんと座らせてもらい、遊んで頂きました。
とても優しく柔らかい雰囲気のシッターさんで、安心して子どもたちを見て頂くことができました。

Mari radiates a warm and friendly personality that creates a welcoming environment for children. With a total of 11 years of experience in Japanese kindergartens and preschools, coupled with qualifications as an elementary school, kindergarten, and preschool teacher, Mari brings a wealth of expertise. Fluent in both Japanese and English, Mari is well-equipped to engage children in outdoor activities, reading, crafts, and origami. We believe Mari would be a delightful and capable caregiver for any CareFinder family.
