    Description

    The next availability is from July 20th for a stay of over two months for one woman.

    If you’re interested, please send me a message!

    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 3-year-old daughter, and 1-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!

    Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

    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.

    We have a 3-year-old daughter and 1-year-old twins. We are looking for a Workawayer to help take care of our children and assist with light housework, such as vacuuming and washing dishes. During the day, both my husband and I are often working, and our eldest daughter attends kindergarten, so we would appreciate your help in the mornings and evenings.

    The schedule is generally shift-based.
    On weekdays, we need help from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM to 8:00 PM.
    On weekends, the schedule will vary depending on our plans for the day, so we would appreciate your flexibility.
    Additionally, there will be a daily cleaning duty of about 30 minutes (you will be responsible for either the first or second floor).

    On weekends, we often go out as a family to explore Sapporo and nearby areas, and you are more than welcome to join us! We will cover all expenses for food, admission fees, and any other costs during these outings, so please enjoy the time with the kids and have lots of fun together.

    At home, we primarily speak Japanese, so this is a great opportunity for anyone looking to improve their Japanese skills. We would appreciate it if you could speak English to our eldest daughter. She attends an international kindergarten and is learning both English and Japanese. Although she doesn’t speak much English yet, she understands it well and knows a few English songs.

    We also like to keep our home clean and tidy, so if you value cleanliness, you will fit right in! We look forward to your application!

    You will have your own private bedroom with a bed, shared bathroom and kitchen. We provide three meals a day. For breakfast and lunch please help yourself.
    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!
