Description
Dear workawayers.
I'm Yumi. a half Korean- Japanese single mom in Osaka.
I was grown up in a big family but my family is small, 4 of us including 2 cats.
so I'm looking for someone who can spend with us like family.
I've traveled a lot before and I love to meet people around the world.
I'm open, social, love to discuss, curious, foody.
I'm trying to build up my new business and work from home.
My son is 7 yr boy he has just started to commune English immersion school.
He requires little time to be friendly, but once he opens his heart he’s very talkative and friendly.
He likes being at home and spending his time mostly reading and lately playing switch or minecraft.
2 adorable cats are sister and brother.
We adapted them when they were new born.
so they have no fears toward people and always wanna be touched.

Help
I am looking for a someone who can help me for little easy housework and practice English to my boy.
My boy has just started to commune English immersion school and I want him to absorb English a little bit more outside of school too.I'm not expecting " English class" with paper works but want you to talk to him and take care of his English homework and play with him.
House work, I may request you to clean, cook,DIY depending on a time. but not that much basically.
You will work for 3 to 4hours a day. for house works around morning time ,or taking care of boy 15-19pm.
Ex, his school work (English), playing with him. (going for walk, playing switch, boad game etc.)
no hard work, time is flexible, let me know if you want day off or when you want to go out night. Let’s manage as much as we possibly can. I want you feel us as your family not business kid-sitting.
Ideally I want someone who has experience raising or spending time with kids.

As I was born as a half Japense and Korean, I've raised in 2 languages. Although my Korean is terrible, I can still understand what people speaks. and I'm eager to study it someday. My English is not bad but I want to improve more to discuss like I do in Japanese. I love the sound of latin based languages. Those are the most beautiful in the world. I only know some idiom in Italian but can do easy conversation in Spanish. Of couse, to teach you Japanese would be my pleasure,too!
