Introduction

Hi, I am an Australian early childhood educator living in Yokohama. I have been working with children for over 10 years, as both a nanny and babysitter and as an early childhood teacher (in both Tokyo and Australia). I speak fluent English and conversational Japanese, and have lived in Japan for 5 years.

In my spare time I love to do art, bake, and explore Japan. I also love insects, a passion I often share with the children I am caring for. I love to do art activities with children and to take them out in their communities to experience nature.
I am currently learning Japanese and can speak conversational Japanese.

I am looking forward to the opportunity to meet your children!

Experience

I have over 10 years experience working with children both in nannying jobs and working as a lead teacher a preschools in Australia and Japan.
While in Australia I worked at a nanny and babysitting agency for around 5 years, taking on long-term contracts with 2 families (one with a 1 year old boy, and another with an 11 year old boy) as well as casual babysitting positions with children ranging from 0-14 years old. I also worked as a teacher in a childcare centre, working in the 2 year old room.

While in Japan I have worked at two international preschools, as the lead teacher in the 3 and 4 year old rooms for 5 years, and as an assistant in the 1 year old room.
