Dear Host Family, Hi, How are you? I hope you’re doing well. First, let me briefly introduce myself. My name is Marina Yamamoto and I’m from Nagoya Japan. I used to live in the United States for 2 years. I was taking care of 2 boys(5&8years old) and 3 girls(4,7,10 years old) I was an au pair! I’m a very hardworking and trustworthy person. My child care experience is fun and exciting, I have experience in volunteering and after-school care. I took care of a total of 70 children. And that's a total of 2390 hours. Children's ages range from 2 to 14 years. I played with the children, helped with their homework, made various things with origami, went to the park and play there, and saw the cherry blossoms. And of course, we take care of them and keep an eye on them all the time. I like taking care of kids because they are so cute I also learned something with every kid that I’ve taken care of. If you are interested in Japanese culture, I can teach you the correct pronunciation of Japanese, the order of writing kanji, and calligraphy. Many Japanese people have an accent, but I can speak the standard language. I studied at a voice actor school for about 3 years, so I can speak beautiful Japanese. I took very strict lessons to become a voice actress, so I don't have any bad sounds in Japanese. And I can speak the Osaka dialect and Nagoya dialect because of my parents' influence. Let's study together if we have the opportunity. Nowadays, I have many opportunities to teach kanji in after-school care, so I am also good at teaching hiragana, katakana, and kanji. In addition, I have been learning calligraphy for about 15 years, so I can write beautiful Japanese. I would be happy if I could share more about my life experience with you. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with you. I think I meet all the criteria for becoming a nanny. I promise to share my knowledge with your children and do my best to help your kid to grow as an independent and strong child like me. I am planning to go to school for EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION. I hope to see you soon. Thank you very much.
I volunteer to work with children with developmental disabilities Twice a month, about 6 hours a day. I draw with the children, fold origami, run around, playhouse toys, read picture books, and eat snacks. Sometimes I go to the park and play with them there. I don't do anything special just because I have developmental disability children, I treat them normally. Of course, we will watch over the children for dangerous things. From the beginning, we do not prohibit various things, we praise a lot and we value playing. By doing so, words come out naturally, rush to me and hug me, and hold hands. I participate as a volunteer about twice a month. The schedule looks like this. 10 o'clock Is the Volunteering start, 10-12 o'clock time to play it contains exercise, draw pictures, read books, and making origami, 12: 00 noon -01: 00 PM We are going to eat lunch 1:00 PM-03: 30PM We're going to play again (work), Christmas and other occasional events) 3:30 Return party 03:45 Send off the children at 04:00 PM Volunteer ends.
