What's in my Bag? What's in the bag of the owner of a children's bread-making class
I'm a little curious about what's in the bag of the working girl next to me.
Today, we asked Hamada Chie, the owner of Nikori, a children's bread-making class in Katsushika Ward, Tokyo, about her work style and what's in her bag. Chie is a parallel worker who also works as a nurse. What kind of work style does she have?
-Please tell us about your job.
"While working as a nurse at a daycare center for convalescent children, I also run bread-making classes on weekends from 10:00 to 12:00 (4-5 times a month) to encourage children to develop their five senses."
-You're a nurse, but what led you to choose your current style of work?
"I went from a work-centered life to raising a child in a place where I had no one to rely on, and I hit a wall trying to balance work and child-rearing, and I ended up burnt out.
After rebuilding my relationship with my wife and thinking about who I really wanted to be, I decided to live my life the way I wanted to, without relying on organizations, by working in my own business and as a nurse.
-Is there anything you want to convey through your lessons?
"I always create lessons with the hope that children and mothers can be freed from the idea of what they should do and value their individuality."
-When do you feel happy about your work?
"When I saw the faces of the children and their mothers delighted with the bread we made in class and said, 'It's delicious!'"
-On the other hand, is there anything that you find difficult?
"Since there are children of all ages, I have to think about how to structure the lessons according to the children's concentration levels."
-Please tell us about your work bag, parallel worker Chie.
"I often use my bike, so I use a backpack that can fit an iPad so I can use both hands."
-What is an essential item for your work, Chie?
"A cell phone and iPad are essential, and we also bring a few other items for work. In the bread-making class, we wear aprons, masks, and gloves for hygiene reasons."

-Please tell us what's in your bag today.
"Today is bread-making class day, so the only things I put in it are my keys, cell phone, iPad , stationery, medicine, a mask, and sunscreen! I've been into mimosa patterns lately."
