Hi! I’m Ayaka, a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny from Japan, currently based in Melbourne. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and toddlers to school-aged children, in Japan and Canada. My background includes childcare centres, after-school care, babysitting, tutoring, and supporting children with additional needs. I hold a Japanese childcare qualification, multiple teaching licences, a Master’s Degree in Education, and an Early Childhood Education qualification from Canada. I also have a WWCC, CPR & First Aid certification, and a Criminal Record Check. I love creating fun and engaging play-based activities such as arts and crafts, reading, sensory play, and outdoor adventures. My goal is always to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children feel happy, confident, and supported. Families describe me as patient, calm, organised, and caring. I value open communication and enjoy building strong relationships with both children and parents. I’d love the opportunity to support your family, and I look forward to meeting you!
