About Me
Hello, and welcome to Japan! My name is Koko. I’m originally from Kanagawa, just south of Tokyo, and spent a year in San Diego, California, during university. After graduating, I gained valuable experience working in international environments, including a Taiwanese company and an international preschool in Tokyo. These experiences helped me become comfortable communicating with families from different cultures and backgrounds.
My passion for caring for children began early in life. I’ve always loved making little ones smile and feel at ease. In 2005, I had the opportunity to work at an international preschool in Tokyo. That experience left such a lasting impression that I decided to pursue childcare professionally. While working, I obtained my childcare certification and have since completed over 300 babysitting assignments for families across Japan.
I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including short-term care at events, supporting athlete families during tournaments, and offering reliable babysitting support to traveling and local families. No matter the setting, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and enjoyable experience, even when meeting a child for the very first time.
When caring for children, I love adapting our activities to their age and interests. Whether it’s origami, crafts, storytelling, outdoor games, or just sharing a relaxed moment together, I always think about what brings them joy and what sparks their curiosity. My goal is to make every moment count and leave them with a big smile, thinking, “That was fun!”
I’m also passionate about travel and believe that the people we meet along the way make all the difference. I’d be honored to help make your family’s time in Japan smooth, joyful, and full of wonderful memories.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or special requests. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon!Ages Supported
