Why I do this work

“Hi, my name is Akari, I'm 43 years old and was born and raised in Osaka, Japan. I have two daughters, ages 4 (preschooler) and 8 (3rd grade in elementary school). I studied abroad in the U.S. when I was in college, and later, in my 30s, I studied English teaching skills to get TECSOL\&J-Shine in Australia. During that time, I also experienced a week internship at a preschool in Australia. Since becoming a mother, I have spent most of my time raising my children. As many parents understand, it hasn't always been easy, but those experiences have helped me grow alongside my kids. Through parenting, I've developed many skills to engage and entertain children in a fun and caring way. I enjoy singing songs and playing the piano, and I love doing origami (traditional Japanese paper folding) with children. I am an easygoing and cheerful person, and I believe children feel comfortable talking to me. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your children and provide them with a fun, safe, and meaningful experience!”
