    Description

    We are looking for somebody who can stay with us for 5-6 month from August 2026 until January 2027. Please no applicants that cannot do 5-6 month. Childcare experience is a must!

    Dear Traveller,
    Thank you for your interest in our family :)
    We are looking for a Japanese female who can speak Japanese to the children so they can learn the language and culture. They know a bit of Japanese since I am half-Japanese and sometimes speak to them in Japanese as well and they go to Japanese school once a week.
    My husband is Danish and we speak English together and the kids go to a Danish/German bilingual school so in our house we speak 4 languages (German, Danish, Japanese, English).
    We live in the beautiful city of Copenhagen, in a residential area 15 min from the city center and close to supermarkets and 5 minutes away from the train/bus stops.

    We would need help with house chores, cleaning, picking up from school, teach Japanese and preparing dinner.
    Valid working holiday visa needed!
    Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
