We are currently looking for someone who can stay for more than two months starting from the following dates:
1.From July 31 to October
2. From September 30
We are mainly looking for women for these positions.
If you’re interested, please feel free to contact me!
We are a Japanese family of five living in Sapporo. Our house is about 30 minutes away from Sapporo’s main tourist attraction, Odori Park, by bus and subway.
Our family consists of my husband, myself, our 4-year-old daughter, and 2-year-old twin daughters. On weekdays, both my husband and I work while our children attend daycare. On weekends, we enjoy activities such as swimming lessons, playing at parks, attending festivals, and going on drives. We would be delighted to have someone who can help with household chores and childcare as part of our daily life.
We are looking for a cheerful and friendly person who loves children and can enjoy everyday life in Japan with us. We want to make each day fun by eating meals together, playing with the kids, going shopping, and going on exciting adventures.
I can understand basic English words and phrases and can give instructions in English at work, but my husband does not speak English at all. On the other hand, our children understand English well and can speak simple English. We hope our children can naturally acquire English as if it were their mother tongue and enrich their lives by interacting with many people.
Sapporo is a city full of charm in every season.
• Winter (December to March) offers beautiful snowy landscapes unique to Hokkaido, along with winter sports like skiing and snowboarding. The Sapporo Snow Festival in February is especially famous, featuring large snow and ice sculptures displayed at Odori Park and Susukino.
• Spring to early summer (March to May) is a season of snow melting and new growth, with cherry blossoms and plum trees in full bloom. It’s an excellent time for sightseeing and enjoying nature at beautiful parks like Maruyama Park in Sapporo or the nearby Moerenuma Park.
• Summer (June to August) is a vibrant season filled with greenery. The weather is relatively cool and comfortable, making Sapporo an ideal place to escape the intense summer heat of other regions. The Sapporo Summer Festival at Odori Park offers beer gardens and food festivals to enjoy. Outdoor activities like hiking and river play in areas such as Hoheikyo Onsen and Jozankei are also popular. Additionally, don’t miss the fresh summer vegetables and sweets unique to Hokkaido.
• Autumn (September to November) is when Sapporo is covered in vivid autumn colors. You can enjoy the colorful foliage at parks like Nakajima Park and Maruyama Park in the city or visit Shiroyama Gorge and Takino Suzuran Hillside Park for even more breathtaking autumn scenery. It’s also the best season to savor fresh, seasonal ingredients such as seafood and vegetables from Hokkaido.
If you’re interested in experiencing Japanese culture, sightseeing in Sapporo, and the beauty of each season, we warmly invite you to join us. We look forward to meeting you!

We speak Japanese at home, so this is a great opportunity for those who are learning Japanese. Additionally, we provide Japanese cuisine for dinner every evening.
In winter, my husband loves skiing, so if you’d like to ski, we can take you along. In the summer, we always participate in the local festivals. I can also dress you in a yukata, so you can enjoy the festival in traditional attire.
Our children are still very young, so they learn simple Japanese words every day. This is also a very convenient environment for those who are studying Japanese.

**🧸 About the Experience & Family Contribution**
We are a lively family with a 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old twins. We are looking for a **mature, cheerful, and responsible** person who wants to experience Japanese family life while actively contributing to our daily routine.
We value a tidy and organized home, so we are looking for someone who naturally enjoys keeping their surroundings clean and helping out where needed.
**🕒 Our Daily Rhythm together**
Our family follows a structured routine, and we expect our Workawayer to be a reliable part of it (around 25 hours per week).
* **Morning Start (7:00–9:30):** We’ll get the day moving together! This includes helping the kids with breakfast, getting dressed, and preparing for daycare.
* **Evening Wind-down (16:30–20:30):** This is our time to reconnect. We’d love your proactive help with playing with the kids, assisting with dinner time, and keeping the living areas tidy so the whole family can relax.
A parent is usually nearby, as we believe in building trust and working as a team.
**🧺 Helping Hands in Our Home**
As a member of our household, your contribution helps keep our family life harmonious. This includes:
* Engaging the children in fun play and English conversation.
* Assisting with light daily chores such as dishwashing, vacuuming, and laundry.
* On Saturdays, if you can swim, we’d love for you to join us at the kids' swimming lesson to help hold one of the twins. We’ll provide the training swimsuit!
**🛡️ Safety & Mutual Trust**
Since we have three very young children, their safety is our top priority. We are looking for someone **reliable and attentive**. To ensure a safe environment, we may ask for references from your previous hosts or a background check.
**🌍 Language & Connection**
While we speak Japanese at home, our children love interacting in English. We encourage you to speak English with them to help them learn naturally. In return, we are happy to help you with your Japanese!
We often go on family outings on weekends. You are more than welcome to join us — we cover transportation and meals for these adventures!

We provide bread, bananas, cereal, pasta, etc. for your workaway. If you are not satisfied with that, please buy your own. We usually all eat dinner together. We will prepare Japanese food, mainly meat and fish. This environment might be difficult if you are a vegetarian.
Our house was built last year so it is new, we also live just outside the city near a small mountain. Because of this we regularly have visitors like deer and foxes!

私たちは、アリスを約2ヶ月ホストする予定で今は彼女と1ヶ月ほど過ごしました。彼女はとても勤勉でどんなことにも一生懸命取り組みます。
彼女との生活をいくつか紹介します。
・我が家の掃除機にたくさん髪の毛が絡まり吸い込みが悪くなっているなーと日々思っていたらお願いをしていないのに彼女が綺麗にしてくれていました。
・日本語を毎日一生懸命勉強しています。その為彼女との会話を楽しんだり、その会話の中で日本語をを教えてあげる方はとっても相性がいいと思います。
・我が家では、簡単な家事や2歳と0歳のベビーシッターを依頼しましたが、アドバイスや依頼を嫌な顔ひとつせず、すべて一生懸命に取り組みました。子供たちには毎日英語で優しく接してくれました。

At that time, she told me, ``Don't worry, I will help you a lot,'' and supported me wholeheartedly.

What I like about her work is that she… read more

And they provide a great education.
