Description

We are Japanese mothers and daughters aged 20 and 55 and live in Minami-Okinawa prefecture in Japan.

Both are hairdressers, and my daughter has worked at a cafe and is good at making coffee deliciously.

My mother works as a total beauty advisor, and she can dress kimonos and give lectures on beautiful posture and walking.

We are mothers and daughters like close friends who love eating, cooking and trying new ingredients.

You can speak English so that you don't have to worry about your daily life.
Communication skills are high and friendly, and you can enjoy various things with an open mind.

I want to experience cultural exchange, language exchange, and various experiences (life and culture that can't be understood just by sightseeing)
You have joined the Workaway.

I'm excited and excited from now on!

More details about your skills

My mother and I both have experience as hairstylists, and we can provide haircuts, hairstyling, and makeup services. My mother is also skilled in dressing people in traditional Japanese kimono and can offer support related to Japanese culture, as well as simple makeup lessons.

We both love nature and animals, and we are very interested in helping with farm work and pet care. My mother has been surrounded by animals since childhood and is experienced in handling and caring for them, especially dogs. In the past, she also helped improve our dog’s health by studying and applying dietary approaches based on books.

We also enjoy working with plants and are happy to take care of daily tasks such as watering and maintenance. We are eager to learn and actively participate in farming and gardening work.

I am also good at making coffee, and I have often been complimented on it.

We both love cooking and can prepare home-style meals as well as simple dishes for hosting. We are flexible and happy to help with kitchen tasks and meal preparation.

We enjoy spending time with children and are comfortable communicating with them, creating a fun and safe environment.

We are very interested in learning more about the local culture and way of life. We are open-minded, flexible, and willing to learn, and we are happy to help with anything we can.

We can adapt easily to new environments and would love to contribute positively as part of your team.
