Introduction

Hello,
Thank you for your interest. My name is Yukie.
I have had the privilege of living abroad for 25 years, in New Zealand, Germany, and the Netherlands, before returning to Japan two years ago. I have two sons, aged 16 and 13. As a family, we have always had a deep love for animals, and have shared our lives with many different pets over the years. We live with a dog, a cat, a tortoise, and a goldfish. I also enjoy horseback riding and, while living in the Netherlands, I was fortunate enough to win first place in a local competition. Additionally, I love bodyboarding during the summer, often going to the sea with friends and family.

My sons were born and raised in the Netherlands, where I had the opportunity to experience child-rearing in a diverse and empathetic environment. For about 10 years, I taught Japanese language and calligraphy classes to children between the ages of 4 and 15. I hold a diploma in this field and would be happy to offer lessons if you are interested.

Since returning to Japan, I have been working as a babysitter, primarily for Japanese families with bilingual children. I am currently caring for children ranging from 1 month to 7 years old. I approach childcare with the same love and care I would give my own children, ensuring that each child has an enjoyable and meaningful experience.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like more information. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yukie watched our 3 year old daughter and Luna had such a great experience that we asked Yukie a second time. Yukie prepared fun activities and was very professional and kind. She provided a summary of the day after Luna fell asleep which I really appreciated. I highly recommend Yukie for any caregiving needs!

Jacqueline

Thank you very much for your review! I had a wonderful time staying with such a happy and kind girl. She gave me snacks many times, even ones she liked herself. She even put extra snack gifts inside my son's toy car, which made him really happy, too :) She was always eager to try new things — like learning Japanese words and doing activities without fear. I could see that her great personality clearly comes from her parents. Thank you again for having me twice. I hope you all have a wonderful time in Japan!

Yukie was an amazing, accommodating babysitter that helped me with a unique situation of babysitting at my hotel in downtown Tokyo! I was able to leave with peace, and felt comfortable with Yukie. I arrived back to the hotel at night, my baby was still peacefully asleep. Yukie was so kind to write down and log my baby's nighttime routine, for example, 6:30PM diaper change, 7PM sleeping. This made me very grateful and thankful to arrive back to. Yukie is punctual, professional and very sweet. I would definitely hire her again if I was staying in Tokyo again!

Melissa

Hello Melissa, Thank you very much for your warm review! It was a real pleasure to spend time with your adorable little one. At first, she cried a little, but she soon relaxed with her favorite toy and pacifier, and enjoyed listening to my Japanese children’s songs.

I also found the accommodation quite interesting.

I hope you and your family are having a wonderful time in Japan. Looking forward to seeing you again!

Yukie-san is a wonderful sitter. My 2-year-old son is shy and temperamental, often crying or becoming upset. However, thanks to her gentle and patient approach, he was able to have a pleasant time. He said he'd like her to come again. Thank you very much.

akiko

Hello Akiko-san, Thank you very much for this review! He did cry at the beginning, but we became friends in the end : ) I was happy to spend time with him. He understands English—just needs some practice speaking it. Maybe next time we can learn about insects in English, since he already has a deep knowledge of them. I hope we’ll have another opportunity soon!

Yukie-San was excellent! It's clear she has a passion for children and is incredibly kind. She brought over interesting toys and even origami. My (picky) son loved her, and even gave her a hug as she was leaving! I'd recommend her to anyone.

Donelle

Hello Donelle, Thank you very much for your review! Your son was such a joyful and playful child—spending time with him was a pleasure. It was a pity we couldn’t visit the playground because of the bad weather. I hope I’ll have the chance to show him more next time!

Thank you very much for the kind review!
I registered with Carefinder based on a recommendation from one of my customers at another babysitting company. I’m truly happy to now be working with international families and children through this platform.

It’s a lot of fun to introduce Japanese traditional activities, such as origami and simple Japanese words, as well as share English songs and games with Japanese children. I’ve also noticed that some families may need help during their travels, and if my schedule allows, I’d be happy to accompany and support them.

I always do my best to support each family, and if I can help make their experience in Japan even more enjoyable, I would be very grateful.
