Junko is an amazing babysitter! She did a great job watching our four children while my wife and I enjoyed a much needed date night. I highly recommend her!

Junko is amazing and made us feel very comfortable to leave our son with her. Australian boys can be a handful and Junko was very calm and helped him understand what he is allowed and not allowed to do. She took him to parks and out for food and he loved spending time with her

Junko was incredible! She was a great communicator and kept an amazing log. She checked our 7 month baby every 5 minutes after she went to sleep and documented all of it. I hope I come back to Kyoto and get the opportunity to work with Junko again!

Junko was an amazing babysitter for our 11 month old son. She arrived early and prepared to watch our son. She provided updates to me regularly and was very responsive. My son looked like he had a fun time. I would highly recommend Junko as a babysitter. Thank you Junko-san!

Junko is fantastic. We were traveling in Japan from Canada and we hired Junko to watch our two children in Kyoto for two nights. She was wonderful. Arrived on time with activities for the children, immediately took over without a lot of direction, and asked the right questions (allergies, sleep routine etc.). We felt comfortable and confident the kids would be safe and well cared for. She seemed very comfortable with the kids from the start. Got both kids to bed without fuss and kept us updated throughout the night. Would have Junko to watch the kids again anytime. Thank you, Junko!

Junko was an excellent babysitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to request her again. From the start, it was clear that she truly understands children and brings a great deal of experience to her care. She set clear boundaries and expectations, but always with warmth, patience, and kindness, which helped the kids feel both supported and secure.

Junko was also very creative. She thoughtfully incorporated a variety of activities and approaches to keep the children engaged, including making some beautiful origami with our children. It was obvious she put genuine care into making the time both fun and meaningful.

One of the most impressive touches was the detailed summary chart she left at the end of the night. She carefully tracked each child’s behavior and progress throughout the night, giving us a clear and reassuring picture of how the evening went. That level of thoughtfulness and professionalism is rare. We’re very grateful to Junko and highly recommend her to any family looking for outstanding childcare.

Paul

We hired Junko-san on Christmas so my husband and I could celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we are so grateful she was available. I posted the listing very last minute, but she responded promptly and was happy to help. This was our first time hiring a babysitter, so we were understandably nervous, but Junko-san immediately put us at ease. She arrived early, was very responsive, and provided thoughtful updates throughout the evening. She is clearly experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring.

We felt completely comfortable leaving Luca in her care and would absolutely hire her again.

The most professional sitter we've ever worked with—punctual, attentive, and provided a written report at the end of the night. Our preschooler enjoyed the time with Junko, and she carefully balanced attention to him with care for our toddler. We would encourage any family to work with her.

We stayed in Osaka for 8 days and hired Junko on 2 separate nights. That is how confident we were with her even after not having met her. Communication was always prompt and during the 2 sessions, she brought activities for our little one. 1 session was with 3 kids and another was with just our 3 year old son. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter traveling to the Osaka area.

I will be recommending Junko to all my friends who come to Osaka! I wish we were here longer so that we could work with Junko again. She immediately made us feel at ease and brought my little one some origami surprises. Of course, my daughter (21 months) cried when we left but Junko messaged us 40 minutes later saying she was fast asleep. When we arrived home, I received a detailed report on the evening and to our surprise even included my daughter’s changes in sleeping positions. And wow, the dishes were clean when we got home! Thank you for everything Junko!

Junko was amazing with our two month old and three year old boy. She had prepared a babysitting schedule to let us know what happened throughout the night and also bathed, gave dinner, played games prepared, fed and burped our two month old. Both fast asleep when we got home with washing folded and dishes done.

Junko was very kind and patient, and very reliable sitter. She has tons of experience dealing with kids, and our kids (5 and 2) were in perfect care during our trip in Osaka and Kyoto. She brought toys for bubble bath for the kids also arts and craft for the kids to play with. She is very neat and clean, and our kids enjoyed her company very much. She was also kid enough to adjust her schedule to our last min requests. We felt very fortunate to have met Mrs Junko, and will recommend her to anyone traveling in Japan that needs her service.
