Grace Y.
Why I do this work
“Hi there! I’m Grace, a proud mother of three and an experienced educator living in Taichung. Having spent eight years as a full-time mother before returning to teaching, I truly understand the warmth, safety, and gentle routine that children need, especially while traveling. With fluent English, Mandarin, and Taiwanese, alongside my qualifications as a certified Mandarin teacher and foreign language tour guide, I love sharing Taiwan's vibrant culture with young minds.”
Grace's background
My childcare journey combines over ten years of professional teaching with the deep, hands-on experience of raising my own three children. As a full-time mother for eight years, I managed every aspect of their daily care, emotional support, and routines. Professionally, I have spent more than a decade teaching English to children aged 5 to 12 in part-time settings. In this role, I assist with homework, teach Mandarin as a foreign language, and foster a warm, patient, and structured learning environment. My early background includes volunteering as a preschool assistant for a semester while studying at the University of Utah, as well as introducing Chinese language and culture to local elementary school students. I am comfortable driving children safely and can also integrate my skills as a certified foreign language tour guide. My temperament is nurturing, organized, and reassuring, ensuring your children feel completely cared for wherever our travels take us.
