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

Afshan E. (Texas, U.S.A.)We had a wonderful experience with our babysitter Eiko! My kids absolutely loved her! She was so attentive and went above and beyond for them! My daughter was begging for another babysitting with her! Loved our experience! Thank you Eiko!!!

Freddie E. (London, United Kingdom)Eiko was a great babysitter for us. It was the first time we’d left our daughter while away and she made us feel really relaxed and Aya was in good hands. Would recommend!

We got our plans together a bit last minute and messaged rainbow kids the day before requesting care- they were able to find someone for us last minute on two occasions and were very accommodating with great communication skills. We really appreciated the ability/ option to have someone for a few hours with our kids. Eiko-san and Kumi-san were really fantastic and brought activities for the kids (3.5 and 14mos)
10/10 would recommend and use again -

We were so happy Rainbow Kids Care was able to help us last minute. Our nanny Eiko was so patient and kind with our 3 year old son. We left money with her and she took our son to get snacks, dinner, and even found a nearby indoor playground to help him burn his energy! Every day of our trip our son would ask in the morning, “Is Eiko coming today?” We were so happy that he enjoyed spending time with her and we could be at ease knowing he was in great hands. We hope to visit again soon!

Couldn’t have had a better sitter than eiko when we were on vacation in japan. She came from osaka to sit for our kids at our hotel in kyoto. The hotel recommended the service. We enjoyed a much needed date completely stress free. She brought games and origami and sent updates. So great thanks!!

Laura H. (New South Wales, Australia)Eiko was friendly and confident, left me feeling very comfortable to leave my twins with her. She communicated frequently during her care period and provided detailed notes upon my return. You could tell Eiko genuinely cares for children and thinks of their needs
