About Me
Hi, I’m Kumi.
I am a childcare professional with over 10 years of experience, including 6 years at a Japanese kindergarten and 5 years at an international school. I am also a mother of two, a daughter and a son, which has given me a deep understanding of children at different ages and stages.
Throughout my career and in raising my own children, I have always valued truly listening to each child with care and attention. I make it a priority to get to know their feelings, build trust, and create a warm, supportive environment where they feel safe and happy.
I enjoy engaging with children in a natural and joyful way, whether through conversation, play, or shared activities. I believe that when children feel understood and comfortable, they can fully enjoy their experiences.
I would love to support your family during your time in Japan and help create meaningful, happy memories for your children. I look forward to meeting you.Ages Supported

Tracy N. (Texas, U.S.A.)We booked Kumi last min and she was absolutely amazing. We did a kimono shoot and that would have been impossible without her there to help with the kids. My kids are pretty shy but they warmed up to her immediately and got so sad when they found out she wasn’t coming back the next day. Highly recommend her!

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 -

Kumi was awesome! She watched my 3 month old and 3 year old in the evenings so my family could enjoy Kyoto. She brought toys and books and got the kids ready for bed. It was seamless and I was comfortable leaving my kids in her care.
