Description
札幌の育児と日常生活を手伝う!北海道、日本
We are a Japanese family of 5 living in Sapporo. Our house is about 30 minutes by bus and subway to Susukino and Odori Park, Sapporo's main tourist destinations.
I live with my husband and 3 daughters. My children are a 2-year-old daughter and 0-year-old twin daughters, so I would appreciate it if you could do both housework and childcare. My sister lives in Tokyo and she is also a workaway host. We had previously hosted a few workaways that were recommended by her, and they were so great and we decided to create her own account as well. If you are interested in Japanese culture or sightseeing in Sapporo, please come visit us!Types of help and learning opportunities

We speak Japanese in the house so you will have a lot of opportunity to practice Japanese if you are learning the language. I also cook homemade Japanese meals, so lets enjoy Japanese food together. My husband and I also enjoy eating out, so lets try some interesting food together.In the winter, we often go skiing around Hokkaido and do other snow activities so please join us!

Help
Our daughter is two year old. We would like to ask workawayer to look after her and also help with light house work such as vacuuming and dish washing. During the day my husband and I often work and our daughter goes to kindy, so please help us some mornings and evenings. In our spare time we like to go out and do things around Sapporo so please feel free to join us.
We speak minimal English so we are looking for someone who can speak intermediate Japanese. This is important as we would like to be able to communicate clearly and easily with you! We speak Japanese at home so this is the perfect opportunity if you are looking for language exchange. We would like to ask you to speak English to our daughter. She goes to an international kindy so she is learning English as well as Japanese. Currently, she doesn't speak much but she can understand well and knows some English songs.
We also like a tidy and clean space. If you also like this, please apply!Languages

私たちは、アリスを約2ヶ月ホストする予定で今は彼女と1ヶ月ほど過ごしました。彼女はとても勤勉でどんなことにも一生懸命取り組みます。
彼女との生活をいくつか紹介します。
・我が家の掃除機にたくさん髪の毛が絡まり吸い込みが悪くなっているなーと日々思っていたらお願いをしていないのに彼女が綺麗にしてくれていました。
・日本語を毎日一生懸命勉強しています。その為彼女との会話を楽しんだり、その会話の中で日本語をを教えてあげる方はとっても相性がいいと思います。
・我が家では、簡単な家事や2歳と0歳のベビーシッターを依頼しましたが、アドバイスや依頼を嫌な顔ひとつせず、すべて一生懸命に取り組みました。子供たちには毎日英語で優しく接してくれました。

She came when we were really busy and was very helpful.
At that time, she told me, ``Don't worry, I will help you a lot,'' and supported me wholeheartedly.
Although she is very young, she is a cool, gentle, to the point, very fun, polite, loving and wonderful woman.
What I like about her work is that she… read more
In my opinion, you’re immersed in a very typical Japanese household. Megumi-san and Oyaji cook the most delicious Japanese meals for dinner, and they're kind enough to supply you with food for breakfast and… read more

Our family loves her and she is part of our family.
As for babysitting, I had my 2-year-old daughter and 0-year-old twins looked after.
The twin babies probably think she's their mom.
She is able to quickly get to know a child's personality and get to know them quickly.
And they provide a great education.
As for… read more
