Introduction

Hi! I’m Keri — with a British mum and a Japanese dad. I grew up in Tokyo and later studied in the UK, where I earned a degree in nutrition. English is my main language, and I also speak conversational Japanese.

While I’m new here on CareFinder, I have around 4 years of childcare experience, mainly caring for children aged 4–7 during my university years, as well as supporting primary school children as a teaching assistant. I also gained valuable experience engaging with young children while working as a Disney Cast Member in London (and I’m quite the expert at planning magical days at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea!). I am also a Registered Associate Nutritionist and Certified Personal Trainer.

Families I’ve supported have trusted me with tasks such as school pick-ups, preparing simple meals (like pasta, sandwiches, or oatmeal), helping with homework and reading, and creating fun activities at home and outdoors. With children, I love bringing imagination into play — whether that’s pretending to be Marvel superheroes on a mission, setting up Lego or block-building challenges, or making up stories together. I also enjoy arts and crafts, painting nails for fun, or heading outside for a game of catch, a park visit, or time on the swings.

I would describe myself as bubbly, energetic, and friendly, and I love connecting with children through creativity and play. My hobbies include watching Disney movies (Rapunzel is my favorite character!), cooking and baking, dancing, playing volleyball, and being creative with crafts. I believe these interests help me connect naturally with kids, since we can share in play, creativity, and movement together. At the same time, I am reliable, responsible, and committed to creating a safe and positive environment for your children.

Experience

I have around four years of experience babysitting children aged 4–7 during my time at university in the UK. Before that, I also helped with childcare during high school and supported Year 6 students as a teaching assistant.

My responsibilities have included picking children up from school or taking them to classes, preparing simple and healthy meals, helping with homework and reading, organizing play activities, and supporting bedtime routines. I’ve also accompanied children to sports and extracurricular activities.

These experiences gave me the chance to build strong bonds with children and support them in different aspects of their day-to-day life.

Pet Sitting:
I have has some previous experience caring for other people animals, including a couple of cats and a dog (Toy Poodle) and have had such a great time caring for them. As for myself, I have a pet cat who is a very playful and clumsy cat, she makes me laugh daily by running into walls, tumbling, or smacking herself in the face with a hairband. She’s also very affectionate, loves cuddles, and will happily curl up in the sun on her own.

Additionally, when I was younger, I had a pet hamster and cared for it for a few years so I am happy and comfortable with small rodents as well!

The services I am happy to provide for pet sitting include:
- Feeding/Watering
- Playing with them, either with just myself or with toys
- Cleaning up after them (litter box)
- Administering basic medications
- Staying overnight

Keriはとても笑顔が可愛くて、元気で、会ってすぐに娘は彼女を好きになりました。
お願いした宿題のお手伝いも無理にさせるのではなく、楽しませながら進めてくれたようで。
まだ娘は気持ちの言語化が難しい時期ですが、それを汲み取って話してくれている姿が見られて子どもの接し方がとても上手だなと思いました。またお願いしたいと思っています。

Keri is such a warm and kind person. She really connects with children and spends time from their point of view, making them feel comfortable and happy.
We truly appreciate her care and would love to ask for her help again in the future.

She played with my son at his level and made him feel comfortable. He was a bit nervous at first, but through playing card games, they quickly became close. By the end, he didn’t want to say goodbye and kept saying he wanted to play more. She also taught him natural, everyday English during the card games.
