Introduction

My name Nana, 26 years old, and I am half Japanese and half Hispanic American🇯🇵🇪🇸🇺🇸. I studied early childhood development in college and after graduating I worked as a preschool teacher for 4 years. I also started babysitting in high school so I have many experience with children of all ages. With my skills and passion, I will work hard to achieve a trusting relationship with not only your child but the parent as well. I am also fluent in Japanese and English so if you prefer either language or would want to have a babysitter who can also teach and translate, I’m here to help!

I was born and raised in Japan however, I grew up in a military base allowing me to have and education in English making me fluent in both languages.

The previous families I did babysitting for, I was lucky to have experienced picking up children from school, participate in school events, join the family to sightseeing/ Disneyland/ vacation as a support for the parents and “playmate” for their children, support for parents when they needed an extra hand and many more precious opportunities!
With my experience as an babysitter and preschool teacher, I will build a relationship of trust with not only your child but most importantly the parents as well. When I’m around children I always keep in mind to have fun, be energetic, and to make sure the children and parents feel safe.
I am looking forward to the opportunity to take care of your children!

Lastly, I’d like to introduce myself😊 My hobbies are collecting Goshuin(traditional stamps from shrines and temples) and reading! I love Disney, Ghibli, and classical music! Finally, my favorite character of all times in Snorlax from Pokémon✨

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my introduction and I am looking forward to taking care of your children.

Experience

I have experience in babysitting since sophomore of high school. I also have worked as a nursery teacher(Hoikuen teacher) for 4 years.

ベビーシッターは高校の時から行っていて、保育士として大学卒業後4年勤めました!(4歳児の担任を一年間、1歳児の担任を三年間)

Pet Sitting:
I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and over the years, I’ve turned that passion into reliable, hands-on experience as a pet sitter. I’ve cared for mainly dogs and cats, occasionally hamsters; with a variety of ages and
temperaments - ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

I’ve done dog sittings since high school so about 8 years and cat sittings for about 3 years, and I am happy to provide the follow services:
- Walks
- Playtime with toys
- Meal times and Feedings
- Cleaning litter boxes or enclosures
- Administering medications - I have basic knowledge of Pet CPR
- Companionship -I treat all pets as my own and take good care of them.

I personally have had a Labrador Retriever who was very energetic and a Morkie, who was shy and didn’t get along with others so I am aware of different personalities and traits dogs have. I believe I am responsible, cautious, and committed to seeing routines through and keeping pets happy and healthy.

We are traveling from USA and wanted a date night and was fortunate to find Nana. Since the beginning she has been a great communicator, helpful and friendly. Our kids loved playing with her and she was so considerate and generous. I wish I was staying longer in Tokyo because I would love to have Nana babysit again for us. Highly recommend!

Simply the best! So good I'm tempted to give her a bad review, so she'll be more available to work with us. The care and fun she gave our children was absolutely amazing, and she went so far above what is necessary. She really seemed to enjoy the kids, and so the kids really enjoyed every moment of their 3 weeks with Nana.

My kids, who were not happy about the idea of staying with a sitter while my husband and I had a night out during our stay in Tokyo, are still raving about how nice and fun Nana was! She was also punctual, easy to communicate with, and responsible. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Not only did my child enjoy his time with Nana, she also provided a report on what they did together and how my son was doing. I really appreciated her organization and friendliness, especially to my son.

I highly recommend her!

Nana was great and so pleasant to work with. Our family was so glad we were able to hire Nana to babysit for us in Tokyo! She was great at communication and prompt. She asked about concerns and preferences before hand. She was an instant hit with our children within minutes of meeting with them. She brought activities and toys with her to keep them engaged and happy. Would highly recommend her 🙌🏽
