Introduction

Hello my name is Miki.
I have lived in the United States for 15 years and in Australia for one year. During my time in the U.S., I earned several degrees in early childhood education and gained experience at multiple preschools. In Japan, I acquired a childcare qualification(Hoikushi) and have experience working at several international and bilingual schools. Therefore, I can provide preschool-style sitting in English for children aged around three and above as well.

I have been involved in child-centered and individualized education inspired by Reggio Emilia and the International Baccalaureate. Working as a nanny or babysitter, where I can engage one-on-one with each child, is an ideal environment for me. In the U.S., I had the privilege of working with over 100 families from various nationalities as a nanny and babysitter. I enjoyed spending time with children at parks, museums, lessons, events, swimming, and nature walks.

I am also passionate about nature and natural education, and I always grow flowers and vegetables. I hold a certification as a "Wood Education" instructor.
I love picture books and own around 700 books, with about half in English and half in Japanese. Sharing my favorite books with others brings me immense joy. I am also skilled in crafts, simple science activities, and English fingerplay songs.

As for other hobbies, I have played tennis for over 40 years, and I also enjoy horseback riding, scuba diving, and windsurfing. Currently, I am into BodyCombat, a globally popular exercise style based on kickboxing.

Spending time with children—learning together, sharing joy, and witnessing their moments of growth—has been the most valuable experience in my life. I look forward to spending more wonderful moments with your children. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to meeting with you all.
