Introduction

Hello! :) I am Satoko and I am half Japanese and Kiwi. I was born and raised in New Zealand and also lived in Hawai'i for 9 years. While living in Hawai'i, I was a regular babysitter for 3 different families for many years. For one family, I got to take care of their baby boy from 6 months old until he was 4 years old. It was a joy to watch him grow up. I have remained in contact with these families and occasionally take care of their children when I go back to visit Hawai'i.

I have 6 years of experience babysitting children aged 6 months to 10 years old. I have 3 years of experience working at an International School in Tokyo as a teaching assistant and English teacher. As a teaching assistant, I worked closely with students who required extra learning support and mostly worked with ages 5-10. As an English teacher I taught from grades K-8 with a focus on the elementary years. I am happy to help your children with school work, assist with meal prep and care for multiple children!

I love all sorts of outdoor activities like surfing, hiking, yoga, and basically anything that involves being in nature! While babysitting I love doing many fun activities such as arts & crafts, puzzles, games, reading, or playing at the park! I would love to help your children grow and explore their environment through fun and educational activities.

⚠️Cancellation Fee (all timing is calculated based on the start time of the scheduled sitting)⚠️
48+ hours before the scheduled sitting: No cancellation fee

Satoko was so lovely and our girls had a great time with her. Timings went a bit sideways during the session and Satoko was very accommodating with our change of plans. Highly recommend 🌟

My daughter loved Satoko! My daughter usually needs some break time before playing with the babysitter, but with Satoko she soon started to talk and play actively.
Satoko encouraged what my daughter tries to do, and supported with some advice. Even the language, she taught her how to say something politely, or grammar correctly.
We would love to ask her babysit my child again!

初めて娘と会った時からたくさん話しかけてくれて、とっても優しく、娘もすぐに懐いていました。
絵を描いたり、キッズルームで遊んだり、親が付き添いせずにたくさん遊んでくれたお陰で、溜まっていた仕事をし、寝かしつけまでの準備に時間を充てることができ、とても有意義な2時間になりました。
2時間あっという間だったようで「早くサトコに会いたい!」と次会えることを心待ちにしています。

Satoko was very great at playing with children. My son quickly got used to her and seemed to enjoy playing with her. She was very careful, so we felt safe leaving our son with her.

Satoko is a warm and fun-loving caregiver with 6 years of experience caring for children aged 6 months to 10 years old. She is half Japanese and half New Zealander so she speaks both Japanese and English. Satoko enjoys outdoor activities like hiking and surfing, and loves engaging children in fun and creative tasks like arts and crafts, puzzles, and games which makes her a great fit for CareFinder families.
