My Experience
? Babysitting Experience in Japan (Paid – 3 years)
? 2-year-old girl & 6-year-old boy (2 years)
I looked after siblings and helped with school drop-offs and pick-ups, and took them to their local sports club.
One of the children was autistic, and through this experience I learned how to support children who find it difficult to express their feelings or sit still when needed.
I always tried to make them feel comfortable and safe while keeping routines consistent.
?8-year-old girl (1 year)
I helped with school and activity pick-ups and drop-offs for a year.
She was a bit shy at first, but I’m good at gently building trust, and we soon got along really well.
? Experience at Hamagakuen Cram School (Japan)
I worked as a tutor at a well-known cram school in Japan.
I supported children aged 7 to 12, helping them with schoolwork and exam preparation.
I focused on creating a warm, supportive and trusting relationship with every student so they could learn comfortably and confidently.

Taught Japanese to immigrants and international students in Japan for over 8 years.
