English Available
From your first contact, English support is available. From booking to daily care and every question in between, there's no language barrier to worry about.
Nurse Support
Travel often brings unexpected bumps and falls. Children with an injury, a disability, or an ongoing condition are welcome. A registered nurse babysitter is available to visit.
Care in a place your child already feels safe
Children notice unfamiliar places quickly. Your sitter comes to you — your hotel room, lodge, or rental — during your stay, so there's no need to move to a new environment.
ABOUT US
Childcare you can trust,
far away from home.
We are a small, locally rooted team based in Myoko, caring for families visiting Japan from Australia, the United States and around the world.
Our founder trained and worked as a registered nurse in Japan, then spent three years in Australia supporting families in aged care and disability services. Coming home to raise her own child, she saw exactly what visiting families need most — someone who speaks your language, understands children, and knows this area well.
We want every parent and child to leave with wonderful memories of this place — and peace of mind at every step of the journey.
