About Me
Hello, I’m Eiko and I live in Osaka with my two teenage sons, aged 16 and 14. As a mother, I truly understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your child in someone else’s care, especially while traveling in a different country.
I worked at an international preschool in Japan for 10 years, caring for and teaching children from age 3 through elementary school, all in an English-speaking environment. My focus has always been on creating a safe, warm, and engaging space where children can feel secure and happy.
Earlier in life, I spent several years living in the United States for language study and work, and I also gained babysitting experience during that time. In addition, I’ve hosted international students both overseas and in Japan, welcoming young women from Belgium and China into our home as part of our family. These experiences helped me build strong communication skills and a deep understanding of different cultures.
As a parent and caregiver, I believe in supporting each child’s individuality and helping them explore and enjoy their surroundings with confidence. I always do my best to make children feel relaxed, cared for, and inspired to have fun.
I look forward to meeting your family and doing all I can to help make your stay in Japan enjoyable and stress-free.Ages Supported

Cameron W. (New South Wales, Australia)Eiko was an amazing babysitter! Our two boys (5 and 7) adored her! She was extremely capable and the boys talked about her so fondly!

We had a fabulous experience using this service while in Osaka. My husband and I went to Halloween nights at USJ and it wasn't suitable for our 3yo.
Eiko took such good care of our son, he had the best time and hasn't stopped asking after her since. She took him on a train to a play centre and he had so much fun!
Would highly recommend this service for anyone travelling to Japan.
Not the cheapest service as it is priced in USD and we are Australian, however our csnt put a price on your child's safety and experience. We are so thankful that this service exists so parents like us can still enjoy small adult experiences while holidaying with young children. -
Myiesha A. (Texas, U.S.A.)We had the best experience with Eiko as our babysitter in Kyoto! She cared for our 3-year-old son, and everything was perfect from start to finish. She kept him happily entertained with crafts, took him to the hotel’s kids’ room, and helped him with dinner. Most importantly, our son had a wonderful time with her! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely use her services again. Highly recommend Eiko to any family visiting Kyoto!

Eiko looked after our daughter in Kyoto while we went out for dinner and she had a great time. She was professional and even kept a diary of activities they did. Would definitely use again if needed!

Eiko from Rainbow Kids Care looked after our six-year-old at our hotel for an evening so that we could enjoy a fancy dinner out during our visit to Osaka. She was very professional and timely in communication, kept in touch prior to our visit, and our son says he really enjoyed playing and hanging out with her. She also provided us a detailed written summary of the evening schedule. I would completely recommend Rainbow Kids Care, and Eiko in particular, for parents visiting Japan!

We had Eiko and Kumi help us our with our baby and 5 years old during our stay at Kyoto in different days. From the first moments, they established great connections with our kids - really fun, caring and detailed in how they take care of the kids. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with Rainbow Kids Care and would highly recommend for other parents traveling to Japan! Arigato !
