    Hi, I'm Mika, and I've been living in beautiful Kyoto for the past 15 years. For the last two and a half years, l've been working as a babysitter, caring for children of various ages.

    I hold a professional babysitter training certificate and truly enjoy creating fun, safe, and enriching experiences for the families I support. My background includes experience as a junior high school teacher, as well as working in preschool and daycare settings.

    These roles have helped me become a calm, adaptable, and warm caregiver who understands the importance of communication and trust when working with families especially those visiting from overseas.

    One of my favorite activities to do with children is origami. I love teaching little ones how to fold paper creations, and I always welcome special requests. Just choose a favorite from a picture book, and we'll create it together. I also enjoy leading simple craft activities and spending quality time playing, laughing, and connecting with children.

    I speak native Japanese and conversational English, and I always do my best to ensure every child feels comfortable and happy. Whether you need care in your hotel, someone to accompany your family for a day out, or simply a kind and reliable sitter to keep your child engaged, l'd be happy to support your family during your stay in Kyoto. I look forward to meeting you and spending joyful moments with your child

    Mika did a wonderful job babysitting our 3 Kiddos!! They played with balloons, made origami, colored and had a blast. They all got to sleep on time and it was stress free for us to enjoy a lovely omakase sushi dinner in Kyoto! Highly recommend!

  • Adam H. (England, United Kingdom)

    We had the pleasure of having Mika as our babysitter while we were in Japan, and she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and incredibly friendly, which immediately put us at ease.
    Our child took to her straight away, which says everything—and even got upset when we came home and Mika had to leave! That alone speaks volumes about the connection she built.
    Throughout the time we were out, Mika kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which we really appreciated and made us feel completely comfortable.
    Overall, an outstanding service. Mika was superb, and we honestly couldn’t recommend her enough.
    Arigato gozaimasu!

    Our kids loved Mika and had a wonderful evening doing origami and playing games!

    What an incredible service! I'm writing this review for Rainbow Kids Care and all their support during my family's trip to Japan in March of 2026.
    We had three children in our group (my two sons, ages 4 & 6 and my nephew, age 7.) We planned a trip to Japan as a family, and over the course of our 10-day trip we wanted to go out on a few select nights and have some adult time while the kids slept.
    I did some research, and found Rainbow Kids Care. We had three different nights we needed childcare in three difference cities in Japan. I coordinated the entire trip with Mai. She was very responsive, excellent communication with details, cost projections, and helping me schedule the service for the entire trip. Made the scheduling process so easy and answered every single question I had, and there were a lot of questions.

    Night #1: Tokyo
    Sitters: Hanna & Maki

    Night #2: Kyoto
    Sitters: Mika & Mei

    Night #3: Osaka
    Sitter: Eiko
    Note, our nephew was not with us for this night, so Eiko handled both my kids only.

    All five of the sitters communicated through what's app immediately after I completed the booking about a month in advance, and sent bios of themselves and templates to inquire about the kids, activities, schedules, any special notes, etc....
    All five sitters then reached out a few days prior to our visit to review all the details, confirm the dates/times/location of the sitting and confirm the plan for that night.
    Each sitter was in the lobby early and let me know they were on-site at the hotel/Ryokan when they arrived.
    They all spoke perfect English and all the kids connected with them instantly!
    Updates were sent throughout the night, amazing communication, and so comforting to know our kids were having fun, no issues and in-bed on time.
    When we returned at the end of the nights, the kids were always sound asleep. Then we got a full comprehensive report from every single sitter summarizing the activities and timeline for the night. They worked on basic Japanese language skills, did origami and other art projects, played games together, etc....

    I would 1000% recommend this service from Rainbow Kids. And if you're visiting any of the cities above, and your need a sitter that speaks English, please request any of the five sitters I mentioned above. Their professionalism was above and beyond anything I could have anticipated.
    Thank you to everyone for your support on the trip. Looking forward to coming back to Japan soon!

    Sincerely,
    Jonathan

    Mika was an INCREDIBLE child care giver/baby sitter for my kids. She was friendly as soon as we met, greets my kids with love and respect. She came fully prepared with fun activities and great energy! I trusted her the minute I met her and I would not hesitate at all hiring her again. Highly recommend Mika
