  Description

  Greetings,
  
  We are a culturally diverse family living in Okinawa, Japan, with our children aged 1 to 6 years. Our family includes a Japanese mother and a father of American descent. Our home is about 25km from Naha, the main city of Okinawa, and only a 2-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. We are also fortunate to live near a beach and within walking distance of various shops, restaurants, and supermarkets. Our family loves outdoor activities; we often enjoy hiking, beach outings, cycling, and exploring the beautiful landscapes of Okinawa.
  
  We are seeking assistance with our four boys, aged 6, 5, 3, and 1. We need help getting them ready for school in the morning and preparing for bed at night. The children attend school from Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
  
  We offer full accommodation, including your own personal room and bathroom, transportation, and food. We hope to connect with someone who is family-oriented and has a passion for working with kids. You will have plenty of time to learn, explore Japanese culture, and enjoy amazing food.

  Aide

  ===========
  Regarding the responsibilities, we anticipate a commitment of up to 25 hours weekly.
  ===========
  
  Our children spend their weekdays in school, typically from 9 am to 6 pm, which affords you opportunity to explore and immerse themselves in the vibrant culture and activities of Okinawa. Sundays, local holidays, and school breaks are usually our busiest time, as all the children are home during these periods.
  
  We seek assistance primarily during the mornings to prepare our children for school and in the evenings to help them settle down for bedtime. Additional support might include tasks such as dishwashing, occasional grocery shopping, and engaging our bilingual children in reading practices in both English and Japanese to enhance their language skills.
