Yuriko
Babysitter in York
My Summary
About Me
I offer a safe, calm, and exceptionally clean environment for your little ones. My home is a strictly smoke-free and shoes-off household with a secure private garden for outdoor play. As a Japanese parent with 3 years of experience living in France, I can offer multilingual support in Japanese, English, and basic French.
I love introducing creative activities such as Origami and music. I have a digital piano at home, so I can provide piano practice sessions during the stay. For violin, if your child brings their own instrument, I am happy to support their violin practice as well. My priority is to provide a nurturing 'home from home' setting where children can learn and play in a clean, inspiring environment.
My Experience
I am a mother of two children (aged 4 and 5), providing me with extensive practical experience in caring for toddlers and preschoolers. Having lived in France for three years and London for over two years before moving to York, I am very comfortable in multicultural environments.
My background is deeply rooted in music; I have played the violin since the age of 2 and studied at a Conservatoire in France for two years. During my time in London, I performed with a local orchestra, playing at a semi-professional (Grade 8+) level. I also have a strong piano background, playing at a Grade 8 level. I specialize in indoor activities that develop concentration, fine motor skills, and musical appreciation in a safe, child-proofed environment."
