Description
We are currently looking for people to stay in a period of time below…
After October
(From June to August, the temperature is around 43 degrees, so Asians are the most preferred.
You can only walk our dogs after the sun set, so this job is not suitable for people who like to go to bars and clubs at night during the summer time.)
Looking for a household helper to stay in exchange for accommodation!
We are a Japanese couple living in Juso where is just 1 or 2 stops away from the Osaka station by train.
We have 3 small rescued dogs they are pretty smart and easy to look after.
We are looking for someone below.
*Female
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️Reliable
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️Mature (We prefer someone over 30 years old.)
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️Very clean and tidy
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️Dog lover and person with physical strength (who can walk 10km every day)
*️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️️Non-smoker
*Not a fussy eater (Preferable to be able to eat pork, fish, mushrooms and vegetables. Pescatarians are acceptable, but vegetarians and vegans are not...)
Please write us whether you are good at cleaning.
If you can stay for about 2 weeks will be fine though if we both feel comfortable then you can stay longer.
We sometimes take workawayers to travel to different cities.
If you like to travel around Osaka, you can join us. :)
This is just a friendly reminder that you might have to share the room together with another workawayer for a day or two.
It will depend on the schedule.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
Animal Care
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We vist many places when Muko is off, u can join us if u like. Also, I am really good at cooking so if you have a chance you can learn cooking Japanese foods from me.
Help
We need someone who can do housework such as cleaning and laundry.
Our dogs walk or run around 10km per day so you need a lot of physical strength (You can use a bicycle if you think it is too hard to walk). Usually, I take them for walking after work, wash them, dry them then I start cooking and cleaning. I finish all these within 3 to 4 hours but it will depend on how fast you do the work.
So your job will be below...
● Laundry (dry and fold)
●Take care of our dogs (take them for a walk, wash and dry)
●Washing dishes
●Cleaning and put things in order
We have three rescued dogs in total.
Hanavi had heart disease. (she had surgery)
Hotaru currently has asthma (so we keep our rooms clean and give them shower when they come back from outside, people have to wash their clothes everyday and have shower every night.).
Matsuri sometime has an epileptic seizure. She loves to run, but when she has cramps it's good to hold her and wait for a while.
The most important task is taking the dogs for a long walk and it will be the decisive factor in my decision to hire you.

Accommodation
It is a solitary house but no garden. Free wifi, Futon, TV, hairdryer.
We have a big bedroom that can be divided by curtains.
Muko and I use the half of the room and you can use the semi private room.

Elsa is very friendly. A lot of a memories of her that I will never forget. She's more like a close friend or sister to me than just call as a Workawayer.
Usually there are many Workawayers who want to travel alone, but she preferred to go out with me.
I think it deepened our freiendship.
We miss her though hope we can see her again in Australia.

Melissa is one of the best housekeepers we have ever had.
She is such a nice thoughtful person. I never really needed to tell her what to do.
She knows what she has to do. When I first met her, I was worried because she is Australian because I have lived there and I know a lot of messy people from Australia.
But she was very responsive and did the… read more

Mika and Muko are two of the most amazing people I have ever met.
They took me into their home and treated me like one of their long lost friends :)
The work that they have, in exchange for living with them, is minimal and easy to do. I would finish the work in about an hour and have time for myself to explore the city or take a train to a… read more

Aziliz is like our daughter. She always has a big warm smile. She is funny, active and friendly.
Muko loves teasing her because she makes such a cute face when he does.
She really loves our dogs and I could see she loves animals in the way she treats our dogs.
We have been to a few Matsuri (Festival) to see fireworks.

Mika and Muko were fantastic hosts! I cannot recommend them enough. Mika is very positive and funny and speaks English very well, so communication was no problem. She clearly explained everything she needed me to do: simple household chores (washing up, laundry, some cleaning) and walking the dogs, Hanabe and Hotaru. The dogs are both super cute;… read more

She stayed for 2 weeks with us.
Alex was a really lovely person who is easy going, friendly and also very smart. We had a lot of discussion about different countries custom and histories. She always had direct opinions.
She is very honest. If she doesn't like our food, she will tell us but she always tries the food before she decides. I love the… read more

The words are not enough to tell my feelings.
Mika and Muko were great host for me. I looked after their elderly dog Chiyo until she died and other little lovely dog Hana.
I never felt myself like I’m working at their home. They were always nice and helpful to me. So I felt myself like a part of this lovely family.

Bengu is an awesome woman. She was really good at cooking and cleaning. Also she looked after our elderly dog until she passed away. We loved chatting and hanging out with her. The only thing I was sad about is she cannot eat pork but we love pork. Lol
We went to Karaoke together and she is such a good singer! I hope she will come back to us… read more
