About Akiko

Hello! I am Akiko, a recent Cornell graduate residing in Ithaca over the summer. I have over six years of experience with kids ages 3 months to 12 years old and have experience nannying, babysitting, being a mother's helper, and in a preschool environment. I love to read, cook, bake, craft, and explore around Ithaca and enjoy incorporating these activities into my time with kids. When working with families, I always keep them updated on the ins and outs of the day with the kids through photos and texts or calls if desired and check-in after each day to ensure we stay on the same page. Caring for children is an inspiring and unpredictable journey that never ceases to bore me, from the creative play to the silly adventures made-up on the spot, I find it a true joy.
