Description
We are currently looking for someone who can stay with us from 26th Oct until 28th Nov.
We're just an ordinary Japanese family living in the heart of Tokyo. Our home is full of energy, creativity, and curiosity thanks to our three kids. We host Workawayers not just for help, but to share culture, build friendships, and create lasting memories together.
We have three energetic kids aged between 4 and 8. The older two are quite independent and can do many things on their own, so most of the time, they just need someone to accompany them, keep an eye on them, and give them a bit of encouragement! -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You would be able to experience an ordinary urban Japanese lifestyle through staying with us.
Our main reason for hosting is to give our kids a chance to experience different cultures and languages. We’d love for you to share your traditions, hobbies, and creativity with them—like teaching songs, games, or simple recipes from your home country!
In return, we're excited to share our family life, Japanese culture, and local experiences with you. We want this to be a mutually enriching exchange.
If you love kids, are interested in Japanese culture and want to try to live here for a few months to see this country, this would be perfect place for you. Immerse yourself fully into an urban life in Tokyo and let’s explore the country with us. -

Help
We're looking for someone who loves spending time with children. The main role is school and activity drop-offs and pick-ups, but beyond that, we'd love for you to just be with the kids — heading to the park, sharing meals, reading books, and playing together. In total, you'd be spending around 25 hours a week with them.
If you're warm, energetic, responsible, tidy, hygienic, and love being around kids, this could be a great match. If you prefer quiet time alone, this probably isn't the right fit.
Fluent English is a must. We ask workawayers to speak English with the kids at all times, as this is an important part of their daily learning. Please note that there will be limited opportunity to practice Japanese in our home.
We have a preference for female workawayers.
Please also note that medical care is not free in Japan — make sure you have valid health insurance for the duration of your stay. -

We are learning English, Chinese and Spanish. We ask workawayers to speak English (Spanish or Mandarin) to the kids. I am happy to be your Japanese conversational friend when the kids are not around. The kids speak good English. -
Accommodation
Workawayers stay in the guest room in our flat. You will have your own bedroom, shared bathroom and kitchen. Our apartment is located in a pretty convenient area which is 10 mins from Tokyo station.You can walk to a lot of tourist attractions from home.
Tokyo is an amazing city that offers so many places to visit, so many things to do and eat so you will never be bored here. There are always something going on.
As for meals, breakfast and lunch you can help yourself. There are usually oat meal,yogurt, vegetables, fruit, egg, bread, pasta and other things that are easy to eat in the kitchen so please feel free to help yourself. Dinner you can always eat with the kids and it is also ok if you don’t feel like what we prepare and you can prepare your own food. We eat meat often and the kids like to eat happy meal at McDonalds. We also order pizza. This environment might be difficult if you are a vegetarian or have food restriction. -
What else ...
I personally had a difficult time when I lived in Boston because of my language skill. Many good people helped me during my stay, so I'd like to give them back to people who stay in Japan.

彼女は我々家族の家に3週間弱滞在しました。その2周目に娘が病気に罹ってしまい、通院や看病などをしている間、レイニーは他の兄弟の面倒を積極的に見てくれました。レイニーが居なかったら私は死んでいたと思います。本当に感謝しています。ベビーシッター経験も豊富とのことで、子どもたちともすぐ仲良くなっているなっていましたし、安全にも気を配ってくださり大変安心してお願いできました。信頼できる素敵な方です。
最初のメッセージから、最後飛行機に乗るまでずっと連絡が丁寧で安心してホストできました。社交的で、とても我々の生活や文化を尊重してくれていつも気遣ってくれて助かりました。また、他のワークアウェイと一緒に食事にでかけたり、地元のイベントにでかけたり、相撲を観に行ったりして積極的に東京での生活を楽しんでいてくれて嬉しく思います。
日本に来たときにはうちに泊まってください。いつでもお待ちしています。
We are delighted to be able to host Laney. She is hard-working, respectful, fun, and open-minded. She is always willing to help out. I strongly recommend hosting Leney to any host.
面白いエピソードが一つあるので、ここでシェアしたいと思います。子供たちとシャーロットと一緒に二回アミューズメントパークに行きました。一回目は埼玉にある東武動物公園、二回目は名古屋のレゴランドです。その二回とも彼女は初対面の日本人観光客から一緒に写真を取って欲しいと頼まれていました。そんなことを頼まれるのは、アイドルかシャーロットくらいだと思います笑。それくらい彼女はどこに行っても人気で、その場の雰囲気を明るくするような魅力を持っています。
彼女は人気なだけではなく、すごく勤勉で責任感があり、向上心があります。ベビーシッター経験も長いとのことで、子供達ともすごく自然に接していて、いつも安心してお願いすることができました。また、お願いしたことをいつも完璧に実行してくれることに加えて、さらにアクティビティについて様々な提案をしてくれました。例えば、子供達と一緒にフェアリーブレッド（オーストラリアのお菓子）を作ってくれるなど。いつも日本の文化について理解を深めようと努め、さらにオーストラリアの文化について共有するために努力を惜しみませんでした。日本語もとても上手で日常会話程度だとほぼ問題ありません。
もしシャーロットをホストすることを検討されているのであれば、ぜひホストされることをお勧めいたします。
We hosted Charlotte for two and half months. She is one of the best workaway we hosted. Our kids liked her immediately and my daughter was devastated when she found out that Charlotte had to leave. She is hard-working, responsible and very respectful. Charlotte is always welcome to stay with us again anytime in the future.
We mainly asked her to look after our toddler son but she was also willing to look after our baby girl. She is very sweet and communicative so our kids loved her. She was always willing to help out. We actually sometimes felt bad because she was too nice and we could not do … read more
