Introduction

Hello! I'm Shaffy, nice to meet you. I'm of mixed Japanese and Ghanaian heritage, so I speak both English and Japanese. In my free time, I love photography and traveling. When I’m with kids, I always start by asking them what they want to do or what they’re interested in, and then we do it together. I also enjoy planning fun activities like arts and crafts, cooking, science projects, going to parks, reading, singing, and dancing.

I recently completed my master’s in education at Harvard, where I deepened my knowledge of caring for children in both home and school settings. I’m passionate about providing a warm, engaging, and nurturing environment where children can learn and grow. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your family and care for your children!

Experience

I grew up looking after younger siblings and cousins (1 year old to 12 years old). I came to Japan in 2017 and since then, I have gained experience in various settings. I worked for 4 years at schools in Tokyo, as well as in daycare and after-school programs, where I enjoyed organizing art crafts, science projects, cooking, park outings, and helping children with their homework.

While living in Suginami City, I babysat for a family with three adorable boys (ages 2, 4, and 6) for 2 years, providing care and English teaching during weekdays. Additionally, I taught at an international school for 1 year, where I cared for children aged 1 to 8 years, teaching them English through fun activities like singing, dancing, and reading. I also helped toddlers with eating, potty training, diaper changes, and took them to the park to play.
