Description
Hello, my name is Mira. I am a 20-year-old from Japan.
Due to financial circumstances and the need to support a family member who is struggling with mental illness, I made the decision to voluntarily leave university.
This is my second time traveling abroad.
For me, connection with people and being able to contribute, even in small ways, to someone’s daily life is a strong source of motivation. I find happiness in simple but meaningful moments—helping with everyday tasks, sharing meals together, and having honest conversations.
In the future, I hope to work at a children's care home. One day, I would also like to become a foster parent and create a warm, supportive home for children who are facing difficulties.
I feel happiest when my presence can make someone’s day a little easier or more comfortable. I am not perfect, but I am resilient and always willing to learn.

More details about your skills
I grew up in a farming family and helped with agricultural work from a young age. Through this experience, I developed physical stamina, a strong sense of responsibility, and an understanding of the importance of daily routines and teamwork.
In high school, I was enrolled in a teacher training foundation course and participated in practical training at an elementary school. I later entered university, but I decided to leave due to financial reasons and the need to support a family member who is struggling with mental illness. However, my interest in child welfare has remained strong. While I was at university, I worked part-time at a children's care home (orphanage), where I became more interested in supporting children in safe and stable environments.
Since high school, I have also worked in various part-time jobs, including providing study support for children who were not attending school or living in foster care, working at restaurants, serving as a lifesaving staff member at the beach, and doing hotel cleaning work. Through these experiences, I learned responsibility, time management, teamwork, and how to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for others.
I am used to working consistently, following instructions, and supporting others in practical ways. I may not be a specialist, but I am reliable, hardworking, and always willing to learn.
