Reviews
Ika is very caring and playful person. She seems to be a pro in taking of children and she has significant experience spending time with kids.
Ika is a enthusiastic person also with solid baby sitting skills. She is outgoing, straightforward but also thoughtful in the meanwhile. We d love to have her support again.
Ika was absolutely amazing. We have worked with many nannies and she is top of the list! A total pro, also showed up with toys and games. Super friendly with a good knowledge of play areas in the neighborhood.
My kids are normally a bit shy around sitters but they loved Ika and had an amazing time with her!
Ika looked after our two boys for a couple weeks and was great. She relates well to boys, always kind but firm when she needs to be. She would take them out all afternoon to make sure they played (and got nice and tired!) or else played with them at home -- and brought a bagful of toys and games for that, which was great since we are travelling without too many toys. Many thanks Ika!
Ika was very professional, brought a bunch of toys and books to play with the kids, and also made sure to update us on how things were going through the night
Ika made us feel so comfortable and safe leaving our son for the first time! She gave us constant updates while babysitting and was very easy to communicate with. We highly recommend Ika as a babysitter and would love to work with her again!
Our kids are very happy with Ika, she is the best baby sitter, she can handle our all 4 kids without any problems, and they all love her
Ika was warm, bubbly, and immediately started singing to baby. She's a natural.
Ika was incredible. Immediately my son warmed to her and I was particularly impressed by her caring nature and knowledge regarding babies and children in Japan. Recommend to all.
Excellent with our young kids for multiple days. She has a great demeanor. Thank you!
Ika is wonderful. We visited Tokyo for a week with a 6 month old boy, and within the first 10 mins of meeting Ika he had become friends with her due to her loving and friendly nature.
She is very experienced and fluent in several languages. Thank you so much Ika if you’re ever visiting London please come meet us
2歳の双子の娘を保育園までお迎えに行ってもらい、私の帰宅まで4時間お世話してもらいました。子どもたちは普段人見知りが激しく、私を呼んで泣くので非常に不安でしたが、Ikaとはすぐに打ち解けて楽しい時間を過ごしたようで本当に安心しました。
メッセージに対する返信も早く、保育中も度々状況を伝えてくれてありがたかったです。
私も帰宅してからIkaが子どもたちと英語で遊ぶ様子を見せてもらいましたが、想像以上にコミュニケーションが取れていて驚きました。
プロフェッショナルで賢い方で、期待以上でした。また是非お願いしたいです。
My kids are usually very shy with new people so I really worried about using babysitter service. But they were happy with Ika from the first time and had nice time with her. She was very communicative with both kids and me:), smart, and professional. Highly recommend!! Thank you and see you soon :)))
普段人見知りや緊張が強い娘も10分で打ち解けて、遊びに夢中になってくれました。おもちゃを持参してくださったり、本人の興味に合わせて遊び方を変えてくださって、最後まで楽しく過ごせました。7ヶ月の息子の寝かしつけもスムーズでとても助かりました。
英語は全く喋れない娘ですが、日本語も織り交ぜながら対応していただけて、歌など使いながら楽しんで導入してもらえました！
おもちゃも持参して頂いたので、新しいおもちゃに子供はとても夢中で、楽しそうでした。
子供との関わり合い方がとっても素敵素敵で、終わった後毎日来て欲しいと言っていました。またお願いしたいです。
Ika has been absolutely wonderful with my baby. She always takes the initiative and goes beyond to make sure parents feel reassured that they have left their baby at home. Her attitude was delightful and she gave frequent updates on my baby while I was away.
Ika was amazing as soon as she walked into our door! She was so lively and our son took to her quickly! He really enjoyed playing with her and we felt comfortable leaving him with her! Will definitely be hiring Ika again! ☺️
Ika was wonderful, having 3 kids of her own she has maternal experience with kids which we really valued. She is outgoing and great at connecting with our two years old. She is an experienced baby sitter and i highly recommend her.
とてもしっかりしていて優しい、プロフェッショナルな先生です。人見知りの娘もすぐに打ち解けて、お外遊びも一緒にできました。最初は日本語でお話しして娘の不安な気持ちをリラックスさせてくださり、慣れてきたら英語にして会話力を伸ばしてくださりました。熱意のある素晴らしい先生です。お忙しいと思いますが、またぜひお願いしたいと考えております。
Ika was such a good sitter for our 1 year old son! He warmed up to her right away and had we had no problems leaving the house. She sent fun updates during the job. Would be happy to have her sit for us again.
Great with our kid! Friendly and caring. takes initiative and doesn’t need a lot of instruction.
Ika is fantastic with kidsand has an easy contact with them. She arrived a little bit earlier so we could talk and she took good care of our 3 months baby. We recommend her without hesitation and will call her again.
Ika helped us in the evening during tough time and put our son to sleep smoothly. I highly recommend her!
My baby usually doesn’t warm up so fast with a new person but with Ika she did! I loved how engaged she was with my 7 month old and she was very professional. I was able to get some stuff done around the house and rest! 10 out of 10 would recommend! Thanks again Ika for your help!
My kids loved Ika and asked me if she can come back. She was very communicative, kind, and great to work with. Would wholeheartedly recommend! Thank you!
From the very first moment Ika walked through the doors, we knew she'd be fabulous. She bonded with our son within minutes and we knew he'd be in good hands. She keeps us updated throughout and we felt at ease. Thank you so much Ika!
Ika was terrific with our son! Highly engaged and trustworthy.
She’s easy to talk to, friendly, and helpful. I was able to take naps while she watched my 5 months old. She was very caring for my son!
Ika is really friendly and nice. I look after my son well. There is no any problem for play with him, shower and sent him to bed.
If you looking for babysitter, I recommend Ika. She have much experience for looking baby.
All we can say is wow! Ika was incredibly kind, profesional, generous, and has a true gift when it comes to working with children. She came to our location with a whole bunch of fun activities and games for our son to play with! Our son took to her immediately and asked for her again the next day! Thank you so much for all you did for our son Ika!
If you are looking for an incredible babysitter when I’m Tokyo, I can’t recommend Ika enough! I will be seeking her out during our next visit in Tokyo :)
We deeply appreciate Ika for her experience and kindness that she showed our son.
She exceeded our expectations, providing us with various parenting techniques and helpful feedback/observations regarding our child.
We will absolutely attempt to secure her in the future and highly recommend to anyone seeking professional child care services.
歌を歌っていただいたり、持参のおもちゃで遊んでいただいたり、絵本を読んでいただいたり、子供も4時間ずっと楽しそうにしておりました。
すべての時間を英語でおねがいしたのですが、発音もすごくネイティブですし、すごく聞き取りやすく、また、普段の教育の中で、こうしたほうがよりいいですよ。と、アドバイスまでいただきました。
本当に感謝です！
また、ぜひ、お願いしたいです。
沢山の教材や玩具を持参してくださり感動しました。
はつらつとして子供たちもすぐに懐いて楽しい時間を過ごさせてくださいました。
英語の教え方もとても上手だと感じました。
とても素敵な方なのでどなたにもお勧めできます。
Ika was very friendly and cheerful. She arrived early so we had time to show her everything. The kids really liked her.
My 2 months old likes Ika so much! I originally had no idea what babysitters do to infants but Ika does not just take care of diaper change, feeding, making sure baby's safe, but she has so much energy and tries to entertain our baby with story books, singing and muscle training. We absolutely love her personality and her energy. Recommend!
Ika is very reliable, responsive and professional. She takes wonderful care of my two girls and is truly loved by them. She is also great at teaching English so my girls can learn a lot with joy. I highly recommend her.
とても誠実で信頼のおける方です。幼稚園のお迎えと自宅での英語の学習をお願いしていますが、子供の体調などに気遣いながら的確に対処していただいています。英語を教えるのも上手です。日本語もお上手なので、幼稚園の先生とも連携が取れ、大変助かっています。とてもおすすめです。
[CareFinder Team Review]
Ika was friendly, enthusiastic and talkative during the interview! We can tell she really enjoys being around children as she already has 3 kids of her own but likes to teach English and care for others during her free time! She speaks Japanese well and can teach English and Russian!
