Introduction

Originally from Austria/Europe, I moved to Japan at the end of 2022, due to my husbands work and I fell in love with Tokyo immediately. Back in Vienna I was working as a certified Clinical Psychologist, specialized in children. My first encounter with working with children was during my university years. I started babysitting when I was 19 years old and actually enjoyed spending time with and taking care of children so much, that I decided to make children's mental health the focus of my work. Additionally my 3 nieces (currently 14, 11 and 7 years old) play a very big part in my life.

I have experience with children of all ages and feel very comfortable with taking care of babies/newborns. If there are pets (e.g. dogs, cats) in your household I am delighted to look after them as well.

My native language is German and I also speak English fluently. Unfortunately I am just yet a Japanese beginner, but I am very eager to learn :-).

Thank you for your interest in my short introduction, I would be happy to take care of your child/children in the near future.

German Introduction:
Ende 2022 bin ich gemeinsam mit meinem Partner, der ein Jobangebot in Tokio erhielt, nach Japan übersiedelt (Dependent Visa) und komme ursprünglich aus Österreich (Wien). In Wien arbeitete ich zuvor als zertifizierte Klinische Psychologin, spezialisiert auf Kinder und Jugendliche.
Während meiner Studienzeit, mit 19 Jahren, habe ich mit dem Babysitten begonnen. Es hat mich von Beginn an mit Freude erfüllt, Kinder in ihren ersten Lebensjahren zu begleiten und Zeit mit ihnen zu verbringen. So sehr, dass ich recht rasch beschlossen habe, auch innerhalb meines Arbeitsfeldes den Schwerpunkt auf die psychische Gesundheit von Kindern und Jugendlichen zu legen. Zudem spielen meine 3 Nichten (derzeit 14, 11 und 7 Jahre alt) eine sehr große Rolle in meinem Leben.

Ich habe Erfahrung mit Kindern jeden Alters und fühle mich auch in der Betreuung von Babys/Neugeborenen sehr wohl. Gerne kümmere ich mich zusätzlich auch um Haustiere (z. B. Hunde, Katzen), falls im Haushalt vorhanden. Darüber hinaus bin ich vollständig (4x) gegen das Coronavirus geimpft.

Meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch. Des Weiteren spreche ich Englisch. Leider bin ich noch ein ziemlicher Japanisch Neuling aber freue mich, vielleicht auch gerade durch die Arbeit mit Familien, hinzulernen zu können :-).

Vielen Dank für das Interesse an meiner kurzen Vorstellung. Ich würde mich freuen, in naher Zukunft Ihr Kind/Ihre Kinder betreuen zu dürfen.

STORNIERUNGSBEDINGUNGEN (alle Termine werden basierend auf der Startzeit der geplanten Sitzung berechnet)
48+ Stunden vor der geplanten Sitzung: Keine Stornogebühr
Zwischen 48 und 24 Stunden: 50 % der Sitzungsgebühr
Innerhalb von 24 Stunden: 100 % der Sitzungsgebühr (+ Transportkosten)

Experience

I have ~ 7 years of babysitting experience, including following tasks:
* taking care of babies from up to 4 months to 9 years old (my maximum was 3 kids at once)
* bringing children to/picking them up from the kindergarten/school
* preparing the child's meal
* assisting with homework
* doing outdoor activities like going to the playground, museum, zoo or children's events
* doing indoor activities like baking, crafts, reading
* bringing the kids to bed
* I often used to stay overnight or babysit at certain events like weddings

I also have a profound experience through my work as a child psychologist. Therefore I am trained to take children's feelings seriously and make them feel comfortable in my presence as best as I can. My friends and family would describe me as a cheerful, open-minded, patient and friendly person.
