CareFinder Accepts Fukuri Kousei Club (Relo Club) Vouchers for Babysitting
Introduction to CareFinder and Fukuri Kousei Club (Relo Club) Partnership
Starting January 6, 2025, CareFinder is excited to announce our partnership with Relo Club, enabling families to use Relo Club vouchers towards our babysitting services. We understand that childcare in Japan can be both expensive and challenging to arrange. This collaboration aims to alleviate some of the financial burdens and provide parents with reliable childcare options.

Example of Savings
Consider a scenario where you book a babysitter for 5 hours at a rate of ¥2,000 per hour:
- Total Sitting Payment: ¥2,000 x 5 hours = ¥10,000
- Babysitting Voucher Rebate: ¥300 x 5 hours = ¥1,500
- Points: ¥1,000
- Total Savings: ¥1,500 (voucher rebate) + ¥1,000 (points) = ¥2,500
- Effective Total Cost: ¥10,000 - ¥2,500 = ¥7,500
- Effective Hourly Rate: ¥7,500 / 5 hours = ¥1,500 per hour
This effectively reduces your babysitting costs below the standard market rate in Japan, making quality childcare more accessible.
Important Considerations
- Only valid coupons with a current expiration date are accepted.
- Do not hand the coupons directly to the babysitter; submit them to CareFinder as instructed.
- One coupon may be used per hour of babysitting.
- Coupons are applicable only to the “Babysitting” service type and cannot be used for transportation, housekeeping, cancellation fees, Ouchi Eigo (English Sittings - sittings in English while parents are present), or online lessons.
