Description
We are currently looking for someone who can stay during the following periods:
1. October 23 – November 30
2. January 17 – March 15
3. January 15 – April 15
Please note that the accommodation for option 1 is different from the room shown in the profile photo. I’d be happy to share more details via message.
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 Help We’re Looking For
We are a family raising a 4-year-old daughter and 1-year-old twins. We’re looking for a cheerful, responsible Workawayer who can help us with childcare and light household tasks such as vacuuming, dishwashing, and tidying up.
⸻
🕒 Working Hours & Schedule
• Working hours are up to 25 hours per week.
• Our schedule is shift-based, mainly during weekday mornings (7:00–9:30) and evenings (16:00–20:30).
• Weekends are more flexible and may include outings or helping with the kids’ swimming lessons.
During shifts, your help might include playing with the kids, assisting with meals and bath time, and helping get them ready for daycare.
A parent is usually nearby, so you won’t be on your own with the kids at first.
⸻
🧺 Example of Tasks
• Helping with morning routines (dressing, breakfast, brushing teeth)
• Assisting with meals and washing dishes
• Vacuuming and light tidying
• Laundry and simple cleaning tasks
⸻
🏊♀️ Extra Help (If Possible)
• If you can swim, it would be wonderful if you could help hold one of the twins during their swimming lesson on Saturdays. We’ll provide a training swimsuit.
• Sometimes we go on family outings around the Sapporo area on weekends. You’re welcome to join us — we’ll cover all transportation, food, and entrance fees.
⸻
🌍 Language & Communication
• We mainly speak Japanese at home, so it’s a great environment if you’d like to practice the language.
• That said, the kids always speak English with Workawayers, so we encourage you to speak English with them. They’re still learning, but it’s a fun and valuable part of their day.
⸻
🏡 A Message from Us
• We care deeply about keeping a clean, organized, and comfortable home.
• If you value a tidy space too, we think you’ll feel right at home here.
• We’re excited to welcome someone who can become a part of our family.
• If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask us at any time.
⸻
We look forward to hearing from you!

I can speak and understand some very basic english. My husband does not speak english.
Hébergement
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!

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。

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

Our family loves her and she is part of our family.
As for babysitting, I had my 2-year-old daughter and 0-year-old twins looked after.
The twin babies probably think she's their mom.
She is able to quickly get to know a child's personality and get to know them quickly.
And they provide a great education.
