Présentation
Music has always held a significant place in my life, serving as a potent and instinctual conduit for connecting with people.

Growing up amidst a family immersed in art and music, my fascination with music was ignited from an early age. During my third year in college, an opportunity arose that would profoundly shape my journey. I was fortunate to be chosen as an exchange student in Japan, where I encountered the mesmerizing tones of the Tsugaru Shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument. The moment I heard its captivating notes, a tremor of emotion coursed through me. This encounter marked the genesis of a deep connection.

Under the guidance of a revered Tsugaru master, I embarked on a journey of learning. My time in Japan not only taught me how to skillfully wield the Tsugaru but also delved into the depths of traditional Japanese culture and etiquette. I was privileged to accompany my teacher in performances at Izakayas and traditional stages, enriching my bond with the instrument and deepening my appreciation for Japanese heritage.

What captivates me most about the Tsugaru Shamisen is its unique method of play. Unlike typical stringed instruments, we employ a tool called a Bachi to strike the strings and produce sound, eschewing conventional sweeping or bowing techniques. Through these strikes, a diverse range of distinct and fascinating sounds emerges. To me, the experience is akin to a captivating blend of guitars and drums.

Following my return to Taiwan, I dedicated nine years to advancing my skills on the Tsugaru Shamisen, ultimately becoming a full-time player. Throughout this period, I seized numerous opportunities to collaborate with musicians across diverse genres, dedicating substantial time to composing my original music and delivering cross-genre performances.

This year, I embarked on a new chapter as a music student within the Global Music Department of the Sibelius Academy. My aspiration is to share my unique interpretation of the Tsugaru with the global community. Moreover, I'm brimming with anticipation to connect with fellow musicians from around the world, seeking to collaborate and ignite innovative, brilliant works that resonate far and wide.

👋 Hello! Are you seeking a caring, responsible, and multilingual caregiver for your children? Look no further!

🌟 About Me:
I'm excited to introduce myself as a nurturing individual with a passion for childcare and education. With dreams of becoming a mother myself one day, I bring a warm and kind presence to every interaction with children.

Throughout my university journey in Barcelona, I've had the joy of working as a private tutor, guiding young minds in various subjects ranging from languages like Spanish and Catalan to Mathematics, Physics, and History. I've had the privilege of assisting children aged 9 to 16 with their homework, study planning, and language acquisition. Additionally, I've lovingly cared for my younger cousins, honing my skills in childcare over the years.

I believe in creating a supportive and engaging environment where children can thrive both academically and emotionally. My goal is not only to assist with homework and studies but also to foster curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.

🎨 Creativity and Curiosity:
Crafting imaginative activities and exploring the world through curious eyes are passions close to my heart. I thrive on coming up with new crafts and activities that stimulate both creativity and learning. With me, your little ones will embark on adventures of exploration and discovery, making every moment count.

🎶 Music Enthusiast:
I have a background in music studies and piano. If your child has an interest in music, I'd be delighted to share my passion and knowledge, offering lessons that ignite their musical talents and foster a lifelong appreciation for music.

🗣️ Multilingual Skills:
As a native French, Spanish, and Catalan speaker, and fluent in English, I offer a rich linguistic environment for your children. While I'm currently not proficient in Finnish, I see this as an exciting opportunity to immerse myself in the language alongside your children, embracing the culture of my new home in Helsinki.

🎓 Professional Background:
With a Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering under my belt, I'm embarking on a new chapter in Helsinki. My partner's pursuit of percussion studies at Sibelius Academy brought us here, and I'm eager to dive into the vibrant community while contributing my skills as a caregiver and educator.

🌟 Why I'm Here:
Above all, I'm here to immerse myself in this new culture and community, building connections, earning some extra income, and, most importantly, learning from the best teachers—the children themselves!

✨ I'm eager to become your trusted nanny or private tutor, not only to support your family's needs but also to forge meaningful connections within the community. Let's embark on this journey together, where I can learn from the best teachers: your children!
