Introduction

Hello! I can speak Fluent Japanese and English at an Intermediate level.

☆Qualifications
•ETYL (English for Teaching Younger Learners)
•Bachelor of Childhood Development and Education
•Kindergarten License
•Japanese Childcare License
•PADI Rescue Scuba Diver License
•BSAC Snorkel Instructor Certificate
•CPR & Emergency First Response Training
•Certificate of completion for Career Development Training in Early Childhood Education, Certificate of completion for Nutrition Education and Allergy Management.

I graduated a 4-year University in Kobe, Japan, majoring in Childhood Development and Education, and obtained qualifications as a childcare worker and a kindergarten teacher.

With six years of experience as a childcare worker, I enjoy activities like taking children for walks, playing tag, soccer and having fun together at parks or beaches!

I have a passion for the sea and previously worked as a Snorkeling tour instructor and guiding children aged 6 through seniors in the open sea for Blue Cave in Okinawa. I enjoy snorkeling and diving on the weekends, and I've had the opportunity to swim with whales, sharks, sea turtles, seahorses, eels, and various other fish.

Having played tennis for 20 years, I am confident in my physical fitness! I received a Scholarship to play tennis for a University in Kobe, Japan. I am happy to help teach tennis and pickleball for all ages or have a fun workout.

I love traveling and have visited twelve countries so far, including studying in Australia and volunteering at an orphanage in Cambodia. I spent six months in Australia until December 2023, studying English in an Intermediate class. I also excelled in the 'English for Teaching Younger Learners' class, achieving an 'Excellent' grade. During the last two weeks, I visited an Australian childcare center and underwent a two-week internship. I taught Japanese songs, counting in Japanese, Japanese culture, games, and origami.

I look forward to working with your family!

We had a wonderful babysitting experience with Aka. A very experience and capable sitter. She looked after our 6 months old baby and 4 year old without any issue, including dealing with our 4 year old being sick. I'm very happy to recommend her.

Aka sensei was great! She made my child comfortable immediately and played well with him. She arrived early and asked questions to get to know his routine. She also gave me photo updates. Hope to work with her again!

We have had wonderful experiences with Aka! She repeatedly watches our 1 year old son and is excellent with him - patient, playful, and genuinely engaged. She is extremely reliable, always dependable and on time. She listens carefully to instructions/schedules and follows them exactly as discussed, which gives us so much peace of mind.

Aka is very attentive and spends a lot of time playing with our son outside, coming up with new, creative activities to keep him entertained and happy. We especially appreciate that she can watch him for extended periods of time throughout the day, not just short sessions, and handles those longer days with ease.

Highly recommend her! She is a fantastic caregiver, and we’re grateful for the care she provides to our little one.

Akane was a very attentive and thoughtful babysitter for our two toddlers. My kids really seemed comfortable with her and she left a really nice summary for us to review when we returned. She also helped with dishes and was safety-oriented. I appreciated her help so much.
