Introduction

Hello everyone!

For many years, I have been working as a caretaker for young people with disabilities on their vacation - now I am in Tokyo working as a school bus supervisor for an international school in Tokyo's south. Taking care of children and making sure they are safe, have a good time and learn new things has been a part of my work for a long time now. I am an architect by education, so I naturally bring in never-ending curiosity for our world and societies and high observational skills. As I learned over the years, both are extremely valuable when working with other humans.
I am fluent in German and English and speak French on an intermediate level.
Before coming to Tokyo in 2024, I lived in Berlin, Germany.

I love creativity and curiosity. To nourish both has always been a great joy during my previous jobs as caretaker. Drawing and painting are very dear activities to me, so are crafting and construction of models, buildings, ships, anything. Growing older, cooking started to play a huge role in my everyday hobbies. I like to combine work and effort with creativity to end up with beautiful or tasty results. I believe children are equally capable of understanding the beauty in that.
Having a good and active time on playgrounds or a good discovery-stroll through the nature of a local park are favourites for spending time with kids outside. When staying inside, legos and all kinds of board games are great fun.

Thank you for taking your time to read my short introduction. If you are interested in working together, please feel free to reach out. I am looking forward! Thank you very much!

Hallo allerseits!

Gerne stelle ich auch noch einmal kurz in deutscher Sprache vor. Ich habe über viele Jahre hinweg als Betreuer für Menschen mit Behinderungen gejobbt. Die Betreuung fand im Rahmen von Ferienfreizeiten statt, das heißt wir haben Ausflüge ans Meer, in Tierparks, ins Schwimmbad oder zu Riesenspielplätzen gemacht. Blieben wir in der Unterkunft, verbrachten wir den Tag gerne mit Puzzle, Backen, Basteln.

Neugierde und Kreativität sind mir persönlich sehr wichtig; Ich liebe es, neue Dinge kennenzulernen und teile diese Freude daran gerne mit Kindern. Ich glaube, Kinder sind von sich aus unfassbar wissbegierig. So waren mein Lexikon und Atlas für mich früher absolute Lieblingsbücher. Wenn das Wetter gut genug ist, um nach draußen zu gehen, sind eine aktive Zeit auf dem Spielplatz oder eine Expedition in die Natur der örtlichen Parks immer eine gute Idee. Für Drinnenbleiben sind zum Beispiel Legos oder sämtliche Brettspiele eine tolle Möglichkeit, sich eine schöne Zeit zu machen.

Vielen Dank dafür, dass Sie sich die Zeit für's Lesen meines Profils nahmen. Falls ich Ihr Interesse wecken konnte, nehmen Sie sehr gerne Kontakt zu mir auf. Ich freue mich!
