  Description

  We are currently looking for someone who can stay with us from 7th May until 19th June or from 28th June and stay at least two months.
  
  We're just an ordinary Japanese family living in the heart of Tokyo. Our home is full of energy, creativity, and curiosity thanks to our three kids. We host Workawayers not just for help, but to share culture, build friendships, and create lasting memories together.
  
  We have three kids aged between 3 and 7. The older two are quite independent and can do a lot of things on their own so a lot of times they need accompany, supervision and encouragement.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You would be able to experience an ordinary urban Japanese lifestyle through staying with us.
  
  Our main reason for hosting is to give our kids a chance to experience different cultures and languages. We’d love for you to share your traditions, hobbies, and creativity with them—like teaching songs, games, or simple recipes from your home country!
  
  In return, we're excited to share our family life, Japanese culture, and local experiences with you. We want this to be a mutually enriching exchange.
  
  If you love kids, are interested in Japanese culture and want to try to live here for a few months to see this country, this would be perfect place for you. Immerse yourself fully into an urban life in Tokyo and let’s explore the country with us.

  Aide

  We'd like to host workawayers who love kids and speak fluent English. We are looking for someone who is friendy, punctual, communicative, responsible, hygienic, tidy, open-minded, and willing to help out.
  
  Responsibilities includes;
  •Take the kids to the park or play center
  •Read books and play with the kids
  •Tidy up toys and books
  •Sometimes stay home with the kids while I run errands
  •Pick up/drop off at kindergarten, and sports activities
  •Help the kids during meals
  •Light housework (e.g. vacuuming)
  
  We ask workawayers to speak English to the kids so if your primary purpose to come to Japan is to learn the language then this might be not be the best environment.
  
  Please note that medical care is not free in Japan so please have a health insurance while you stay in Japan. Please also note that we do have a preference of working with female workawayers.

  Hébergement

  Workawayers stay in the guest room in our flat. You will have your own bedroom, shared bathroom and kitchen. Our apartment is located in a pretty convenient area which is 10 mins from Tokyo station.
  
  Tokyo is an amazing city that offers so many places to visit, so many things to do and eat so you will never be bored here. There are always something going on. In addition to exploring the city you can also enjoy trip to other cities such as Okinawa, Sapporo and Osaka. My sister lives in Sapporo and she is also a workaway host so our workawayers sometimes also go stay with her. Also Seoul is only two hours away by airplane and it is very fun city and very different from Tokyo so it could be a good weekend trip option.
  
  As for meals, breakfast and lunch you can help yourself. There are usually oat meal,yogurt, vegetables, fruit, egg, bread, pasta and other things that are easy to eat in the kitchen so please feel free to help yourself. Dinner you can always eat with the kids and it is also ok if you don’t feel like what we prepare and you can prepare your own food. We eat meat often and the kids like to eat happy meal at McDonalds. We also order pizza. This environment might be difficult if you are a vegetarian or have food restriction.

  Autres infos...

  I personally had a difficult time when I lived in Boston because of my language skill. Many good people helped me during my stay, so I'd like to give them back to people who stay in Japan.
