Kia ora/Konnichiwa,
My name is Nana, and originally from Japan. I am a qualified and registered ECE teacher.

I live with my husband (Nate from South Africa), daughter (Nina who just turned two in March), and two dogs (Frodo the beagle and Addi the boston terrier). Our typical weekend includes going out for a walk with our 3 babies and a cup of coffee.

I like to travel and explore nature. I have been to many countries around the world, and I did many hikes in New Zealand, most of the big ones, and I love it! I cannot wait for my daughter to grow old enough to hike with us. One of my bucket list items is to run the Queenstown Marathon with her someday.

I worked with children in Japan for five years, and I especially enjoyed art class with the children. I enjoy drawing (not very talented though), so I am looking forward to enjoying it here as well!

Thank you for the opportunity to work with your precious children.
