About Asuma
Hi! My name is Asuma and I am currently a neuroscience research technician and a member of the U.S. Army Reserves. I offer childcare, tutoring, and household support services.
Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. As the oldest daughter in a large family and a mother to an amazing teenager, I grew up helping care for younger siblings and relatives. I also have over 11 years of experience caring for children ranging from infants to teenagers.
In addition to childcare, I provide tutoring for students from elementary school through college in subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Mathematics and enjoy helping students build confidence in learning and problem-solving.
My childcare responsibilities have included helping with homework, preparing meals, creative activities, transportation, and maintaining a structured and safe environment for children. I enjoy encouraging curiosity through reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and fun learning moments.
I speak four languages and have reading knowledge of two others, which has helped me connect with families from diverse backgrounds.
Outside of work, I enjoy bike rides in nature, cooking and experimenting with recipes, volunteering with community organizations, and continuing my training as a beginner in Taekwondo.
Families often describe me as dependable, calm, and attentive. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun.
While I don’t yet have extensive experience caring for pets, I am open to learning as long as safety is prioritized.
