Introduction

Hello, my name is Shizuka.
I was born and raised in Tokyo, and I speak both Japanese and English.
I’m an active person who loves all kinds of sports, especially basketball and cycling.
I enjoy cooking as well.

I was an Au Pair (nanny) in New York City for 2 years (2013–2015), where I cared for two children — a 7-month-old boy and a 2.5-year-old girl when I first started.
I’m comfortable with English for children, not just daily conversation.
I played with them, prepared their meals, gave them baths, and took them to and from school.
I’m comfortable looking after both genders.

I also have babysitting experience in Japan.

I like to treat children as equals and enjoy having fun together — whether it’s playing outside, exploring new things, or cooking together.

I love animals, so families with pets are warmly welcomed.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Currently, I do not accept:
• Regular jobs

(No English teaching. Only one-time or multiple times babysitting requests).

Also, due to my main job (self-employed), I’m not available on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays except at night.

Cancellation fees are based on the time of cancellation:
• 48 hours or more in advance: Free of charge
• Between 48 and 24 hours in advance: 50% of sitting fee

【About Payment】
I do my best to be flexible if there are any last-minute changes in hours.

Thank you for understanding.

Shizuka is an amazing Babysitter! She watched our four children ages 1–12 and kept them fed, entertained, and most importantly safe. If you’re looking for someone to care for your little ones, I highly recommend her!

Shizuka was fantastic! Our 2 year old never had a babysitter before but he loved her! She did such a good job playing with him, caring for him, and keeping him entertained. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with little kids!

Shizuka helps us a lot during our stay in Japan
It was our first abroad trip with twin babies (8 months old) and a toddler

With Shizu’s help we could enjoy our meal in the restaurant or to have a fun activity without stress

Shizu speaks English very well and sometimes she would help us out and translate from Japanese to English at some places we visited

Thank you!
I hope we see you again when we will be back in Japan!

Shizuka cared for our 7 month old daughter twice while we were staying in Tokyo. She was great! Kid had a great time and Shizuka was wonderful. Great communication, very easy to deal with, and we had total confidence our daughter was in good hands. Thank you! Will absolutely hire again the next time we're in Tokyo.

Our experience with Shizuka was great! I believe she handled our 9 month old with experience and great care. Our baby is very attached to us and gets very upset when we are not there, but Shizuka was able to get her to nap, eat, and go to bed on time. She was calm and adjusted to our baby as the night went. We would definitely book her again!

Shizuka watched our children on two different nights during our trip to Tokyo. One night they were awake when she came and they enjoyed playing with her. She is very sweet and was flexible with our schedule. I’d highly recommend her for your travels.

We were very happy with Shizuka. And, more importantly, our 2 year old son was too!

She's experienced, friendly, attentive and speaks excellent English.

It's not easy finding the right person to look after your child—especially when you've never met them, and you're in a different country. But you can rest assured that Shizuka is that person.

Thanks again, Shizuka!

Our family highly recommends Shizuka to care for your little one. She looked after our 8-month-old daughter several times while we were on vacation in Tokyo, and we are so grateful for her help.
Even though we only speak English, communication was easy. Shizuka was punctual, accommodating to our schedule, and kept us updated throughout each shift.
She was wonderful with our daughter, who immediately felt comfortable in her care. Shizuka has such a calm, kind, and nurturing presence. It was comforting knowing our baby was in good hands while we were abroad.

We will be requesting her help again next time we are in Tokyo.

I can not recommend Shizuka enough. She was easy to communicate with, on time, sweet, helpful, caring and patient. I felt so comfortable leaving my 18 month old with her and she even stayed super late one night when we went out! Shizuka also kindly helped us out with restaurant recommendations and shopping. She also bought me a smoothie from her store for my birthday which was the sweetest surprise! Looking forward to heading back to Tokyo and using her again :)

We are traveling from the US and Shizuka did an amazing job for us! We went out for dinner with friends in Tokyo and entrusted our 3 boys ages 5, 7, and 11 with Shizuka . We don't know this area well, and Shizuka came up with great suggestions for fun activities to do with the kids and was proactive in making sure our experience was smooth and enjoyable. Our boys really liked her and felt safe with her. They also had no trouble communicating in English. She was also extremely punctual and flexible with staying a little longer when our dinner ran long.

I would highly recommend Shizuka and would definitely hire Shizuka again!

Shizuka was great. She came to our hotel room and had a great night with our 18 month old daughter. She took her for a long walk and to the park. She was very kind and patient even though our daughter cried a lot. I hope to visit again soon so that she can spend time our daughter again!

Shizuka was amazing!

She worked with us to reschedule in a very short time due to a stomach bug cancelling our date. Also our son had a great time and asked about her the next morning his new “friend”. Thank you again!
彼女は素晴らしい!

Shizuka was a wonderful sitter for us. Extremely friendly and the girls loved spending time with her. She played with the girls and watched over them while we had some quality time away and more importantly we felt comfortable and safe they were in good hands.

娘の幼稚園のピックアップと公園での外遊びをお願いしました。
shizukaさんは明るく感じの良い方で娘はすぐ打ち解けました。
娘の英語強化の為にオールイングリッシュでの会話をお願いしましたが、
細かいお願いを日本語で伝えることができるのと、やはり日本の方なので安心して任せることができました。
