Hello! My name is Ayaka Fukuda, and I am 34 years old. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, where I have lived my entire life. Being deeply immersed in Japanese culture has given me a profound appreciation for its traditions and unique experiences. I’m more than happy to share insights about Japanese culture and recommend tourist spots to ensure your family feels supported and engaged during your stay.

My passion for childcare began during my teenage years, inspired by my mother, who worked as an after-school teacher. When I was 19, I interned at an elementary school, caring for children aged 6 to 12. This experience encouraged me to pursue a career in early childhood education.

In my 20s, I worked as an au pair in Australia, providing attentive care to young children and further developing my skills and love for working with kids. For 10 years, I worked as a supply specialist, interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. This experience reinforced my belief that early childcare is essential for fostering happy, fulfilling lives. Following this, I worked as an early childhood teacher, utilizing right-brain education methods and teaching English for one year.

Now back in Japan, I am excited to offer flexible and personalized childcare services for traveling families. Whether it’s providing attentive care in your hotel, accompanying your family to magical destinations like Disneyland, exploring cultural landmarks, or engaging your children in fun activities at local parks, I aim to make your family’s experience in Japan seamless and memorable.

I love introducing children to fun and creative activities inspired by Japanese culture. These include origami, traditional games, simple crafts, calligraphy, and even tea ceremonies. Each activity is customized to match your child’s interests and energy levels, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and engaged throughout our time together.

Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I maintain clear and open communication with parents to ensure you feel informed and reassured at all times. With a warm, patient, and energetic personality, I strive to build positive and lasting connections with both you and your children.

I look forward to meeting your family and helping to make your time in Japan an unforgettable experience. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific requests. I am here to help!
