Introduction

Hello all parents!

My name is Natsumi, I am Japanese and have worked as a pediatric nurse for 3 years and a midwife for 3 years in Japan. After that I worked as a nanny for 2 years in the uk. Now I came back to Japan and am working as a nanny based in Tokyo.

I specialize in general perinatal care so I provide all general care for newborns and moms, but I am happy to take care of children of any ages too.

Personally, I enjoy meeting new people. I provide comfort and safety for the children so that parents can enjoy or just have own time with peace of mind.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me anything. I look forward to hearing from you!

Pet sitting

I have lived with dogs since I was born, that continued until I left home to go to university.

There are always dogs in my family, and I have experience looking after friends' dogs in New York and London for one month for each, and also friends’ cats in Tokyo for two months, so I am used to care of dogs and cats, and I promise to give them safety and love!

However, I know each individual has a completely different personality, so please let me know anything about your cutie!

Natsumi was wonderful with our 7 month old. In fact, the first time he met her, he found her so comforting he fell asleep within 10 minutes. :) Natsumi was very thorough in making sure that she understood our needs and routines. Natsumi was great at playing with our son (when he was awake), and gentle and caring when putting him to sleep. We felt very reassured by her regular updates when our son was in her care.

Natsumi was the kindest, competent and flexible sitter for our son. As it was our first time finding a sitter, we weren’t sure how it would be like but we felt so safe with Natsumi and our son adored her and enjoyed their time together!

Natsumi was fantastic with our 4 year old daughter. She did several sittings for us at our hotel and after the first one our daughter was asking to bring her back. Very easy to communicate with and very prompt and professional. Would recommend strongly.

Natsumi isn't just a babysitter: she's a friend you can count on and trust! She is very flexible with her schedule, easy-going, knowledgable, helpful and patient. One of our sons is slightly autistic and can be frustrating on occasion with his fixations, but Natsumi handled both of our children with grace, poise and care, arguably doing a better job with them than we do! We wouldn't choose any other sitter than Natsumi!

Very grateful to have come across Natsumi, she is an excellent babysitter! She is very kind and takes super good care of children, while also entertaining them. She came very well prepared and she was very pleasant to be around. My boys (3&13 y o) loved her!

We are very glad that we met Natsumi! She was very kind and gentle with our 8 month old daughter. She was always on time and was updating us on baby during the evening. Would definitely trust her our baby again if we are in Tokyo.

We were so lucky to have Natsumi care for our two boys. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure kids were happy, and engaged. Her flexibility with our ever-changing schedule was huge help.
We’re so grateful for the love and care she provided.

My daughter immediately loved Natsumi! Natsumi arrived early and sent regular updates and a photo while we were out which made us feel at ease. We actually asked her to come back again two nights later :) I would recommend Natsumi to any of my friends!

Review for Natsumi on Carefinder

We had the pleasure of working with Natsumi for four weeks after the birth of our son, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her help. Thanks to her, I was able to get so much sleep, which made a huge difference in my recovery. She put me completely at ease with her knowledge and experience, offering great suggestions on feedings and insightful explanations of our baby’s behaviors. On top of that, her positive attitude made every night feel reassuring and stress-free. We highly recommend Natsumi to any family looking for expert newborn care!

I can only highly recommend Natsumi. She has been taking care of our daughters (~6months and ~2 years) on multiple occasions, the older daughter loves to play with her every time. She has also been very helpful when on a couple of occasions we had some minor emergencies (suddenly getting sick daughter, needing a helping hand on a short notice), and she always acted professionally.

We cannot recommend Natsumi enough! She cared for our 5 month old for 3 nights during our visit to Tokyo. We had such peace of mind leaving our baby with Natsumi. She was always prompt and reliable. Our son was immediately attracted to her calming presence. She also provided great, timely updates on how he was doing. Her care for children and kind-hearted nature is evident in all that she does. She quickly became like family. We would recommend her to any family without hesitation!

Natsumi helped us with our kids (3m and 2y) when we got sick while traveling in Japan. She was very flexible, friendly, helpful and attentive, and the kids liked her too, even though with the toddler they didn't even share a language! Natsumi is a great babysitter.

Natsumi was so amazing with our 8 month old. She kept us updated on how he was while we were out and enabled my husband and I to really enjoy a couple nights on the town while visiting. I can't recommend her enough.

Natsumi-san was such a wonderful baby-sitter I almost feel like she became an auntie for my son. Even days after she babysat him, he kept asking when he was going to have another play-date with her. She is a natural with children and even taught my son some Japanese! I highly recommend her as she is very friendly and motherly.

The experience was perfect. She is a calm person by nature and she was able to manage our child easily and professionally. She put him to bed and made the whole experience for us and the baby.

Natsumi was amazing! So friendly and upbeat. My kids loved her, and wished they had more time. She handled three kids easily, taking them out and about in Tokyo (at our request), even teaching them to ride the bus. We could not have hoped for better and we would definitely hire Natsumi again.

Natsumi did an amazing job with our boys (4m and 2.5y). We had never used a babysitter before and she made the whole process so easy. I highly recommend her as a babysitter, she got along with my 2.5 year old as soon as she stepped through the door

Natsumi competently demonstrated her many years of experience in the care of both individual children and multiples (twins and triplets). Further, her English ability was huge plus as it enabled easy communication at all times. When a problem occurred she could not solve herself, she promptly communicated details in both languages and we were able to address the situation. We will be going with Natsumi frequently going forward.
