Introduction

Hello, my name is Risa, and I’m 22 years old. I grew up in the Philippines and have been living in Japan since junior high school. I can speak three languages: English, Japanese, and Filipino, which helps me communicate comfortably with different families and children.

My hobbies are cooking, arts and sports. I used to play badminton and volleyball. I like movies too, like Disney or Universal studios movies, and when I was a kid I love to play board games like Monopoly and Scrabble. I love characters too like Snoopy and Sanrio characters. About my personality, I am bright, positive and cheerful, and would love to share that to all the people I meet.

I have experience babysitting, I used to take care of my mom’s friends’ children when I was in senior high school. I’m patient, caring, and responsible, and I’m also good with household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, and simple meal preparation.

I love working with children and creating a safe, fun, and I am a caring and responsible babysitter who enjoys supporting both infants and young children. I have experience looking after babies from 6–11 months, as well as children from 1 to 7+ years old.

For infants, I provide gentle, safe, and nurturing care with constant supervision. I enjoy activities such as tummy time, singing songs, reading baby books, sensory play, and helping them explore their surroundings in a calm and comforting way.

For toddlers and young children, I offer fun and age-appropriate activities like arts and crafts, drawing, simple games, storytelling, building blocks, and outdoor play if approved by parents. I focus on creating a positive, playful, and safe environment where children can learn, explore, and express themselves.

I always prioritize safety, clear communication, and keeping the home tidy. I’m happy to follow parents’ routines, prepare simple snacks, and send updates during the babysitting session.

I look forward to meeting your family and providing warm and dependable care for your little ones!

Experience

Babysitting:

I used to take care my younger sister ever since she was born, since I am 7 years older than her, I was able to help my mother care for her by helping with bottle feeding, changing diapers and getting her ready for the day. As she got older, I was able to help by playing and looking after her when my mother was busy.

I also would often babysat my mother's friend's kids who were 3, 5 and 7 years old at the time - we would play and I would help provide general care for them until their parents got home.

Pet sitting:

I grew up surrounded by animals and have a lot of experience caring for pets. When I lived in the Philippines, I had 9 cats. My very first cat was named Miming, and she became the mother of many of our other cats. I helped take care of them by feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they were safe and happy.

Cats can be very active, especially at night, so I am used to their behavior. Sometimes they would start playing at midnight or even around 4 a.m.! They loved playing with cat toys and running around the house. When they needed to go to the toilet, they would stand by the door to let me know, and sometimes they would even wake me up while I was sleeping. I always found it funny and cute because cats are very smart and expressive.

Our neighbor also had a dog named Chuchu. She basically grew up with us and often came to our house to play with me and my cats. Later, she even had puppies! Because of this, I also became very comfortable around dogs.

When I moved to Japan, I had to find loving homes for my cats, so I carefully adopted them out to people who could take good care of them.


Now I have two pet birds named Koko and Cookie, so I also have experience caring for birds. I really enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved.

リサはとても親切で丁寧に子供に接してくれました。たくさん英語を話してくれて、子供の英語も引き出してくれました。お絵かきの遊びで書いてもらった白いクーピーでする遊びは、子供のお気に入りになりました。あれから地球儀を見て、リサはどこから来たの?と尋ねたりしています。また機会があったらお願いしたいです。ありがとうございました。
Lisa was very kind and took great care of my child. She is also fluent in English and helped my child learn English. What my child enjoyed most was drawing with the white crayons that Lisa had drawn for them. Since then, every time my child sees a globe, they ask, "Where did Lisa come from?" If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to ask Lisa for help again. Thank you so much.

This was our first experience with Carefinders and Risa was an absolute delight - she was so clear in her communication which helped us decide in her favour and she was able to make my very shy and anxious son very comfortable during our night out in Tokyo. She brought him lovely toys and origami paper and he is still talking about what a fun time he had when she came over. Would engage again in a heartbeat!

What a lovely woman!! So kind and gentle. My children warmed up to her instantly despite my son being super shy, he was instantly talking, singing and playing games.
She bought my kids gifts, cleaned up after them and even went the extra mile of helping me get the washing done and folding them while I was out.
Risa is was beyond amazing
I could never thank her enough for the time she spent taking such amazing care of my children.

When I spoke to Risa during the recruitment phase, she was professional and responsive from the start, and also came across as warm and having a passion for children.

On the day of the sitting, I showed her some suggestions for activities at my home that she could do with the kids. She also brought several age-appropriate toys along in her backpack, and during the three-hour session engaged the children in many different activities. My six-year-old boy and ten-year-old girl (the latter of whom was initially not pleased when she heard that she still needed a babysitter) reported that they enjoyed their time with Lisa very much and found her easy to talk to. I can therefore easily recommend her services.

Risa was absolutely fantastic with our kids in Tokyo. She speaks perfect English, which made everything so easy, and she brought such a warm, bubbly energy from the moment she arrived.

She came prepared with craft activities that my 6-year-old daughter absolutely loved, and went above and beyond by even helping her pack her suitcase—something I really appreciated.

Risa was professional, reliable, and clearly experienced with children. We felt completely comfortable leaving our three kids in her care.

Highly recommend her to any family visiting Tokyo!
