Introduction

Hello Everyone!

I have recently moved to Tokyo where I aim to obtain my Masters Degree. Thus, I shall be living in Japan for the next 2 years. Thanks to my parents I have learned to speak Dutch, German and English fluently. In my free time I like to read, run and play guitar. A colleague of mine has suggested that I try babysitting which indeed also involves teaching languages to some degree. My babysitting experiences mostly originate from taking care of my 3 younger siblings while my Parents were on business trips. In the days of taking care of my siblings I enjoyed reading to them, cooking, teaching them guitar riffs (Spongebob and Smoke On The Water for example) as well as playing sports.

It was a self-imposed goal of mine to get my siblings into reading because they were spending a sickening amount of time in front of their electrical devices. With the help of some fantastic books such as Redwall or Percy Jackson it was possible for me to convince them to read a little bit. If you are looking for someone to babysit while teaching English/German in a relaxing manner please feel free to message me. I am free from Thursday to Sunday but could also perhaps babysit in the evenings during the other days. Otherwise I wish you all a pleasant rest of the week and thank you for reading this introduction!

Hallo zusammen!

Vor kurzem bin ich nach Tokio gezogen, wo ich mein Masterstudium anstrebe. Deswegen werde ich die nächsten zwei Jahre in Japan leben. Dank meiner Eltern habe ich Niederländisch, Deutsch und Englisch fließend gelernt. In meiner Freizeit lese ich gerne, gehe laufen und spiele Filmmusik auf der Gitarre. Obwohl ich bereits eine Arbeit als Deutschlehrer an meiner Universität gefunden habe, bin ich noch auf der Suche nach einem zweiten Job, bei dem ich Deutsch oder Englisch unterrichten kann. Ein Kollege hat mir vorgeschlagen, es mit Babysitting zu versuchen, was ja tatsächlich auch ein wenig das Lehren von Sprachen umfasst. Meine Erfahrungen als Babysitter habe ich beim Aufpassen auf meine 3 jüngeren Geschwister erworben. Während ich auf meine Geschwister aufgepasst habe, habe ich ihnen gerne vorgelesen, gekocht und mit ihnen Sport gemacht. Es war mein persönliches Ziel, meine Geschwister zum Lesen zu motivieren, da sie eine ungesunde Menge Zeit vor ihren elektronischen Geräten verbrachten. Mit der Hilfe einiger fantastischer Bücher wie Redwall oder Percy Jackson konnte ich sie tatsächlich dazu bringen, mehr zu lesen.

Falls Sie jemanden suchen, der babysittet und dabei in entspannter Weise Englisch oder Deutsch vermittelt, melden Sie sich gerne bei mir. Ich habe von Donnerstag bis Sonntag Zeit, könnte aber auch an den Abenden an anderen Tagen babysitten. Ich danke Ihnen, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, meine Vorstellung zu lesen und wünsche ihnen einen angenehmen Tag.

Experience

- I would babysit 3 siblings aged 5-15 for weekends which involved cooking, cleaning and helping with elementary to middle school level homework. (especially languages)

- I would pick up a child aged 10 from soccer practice as well as escort him there on Saturday mornings

- I would occasionally help Dutch neighbour's children with English and German homework for a few hours per week. Sometimes the parents were at home and sometimes they weren't.

- Lastly I would 'babysit' young teenagers aged 13-16 at home or neighbour's houses who had a history of partying without permission of the parents.
