We are not just babysitters. We are OMOTENASHI Sitters — keepers of Japanese hospitality, and tellers of its oldest stories.
Our role is to bring the spirit of Japanese omotenashi to your children and to help them create joyful memories that last a lifetime — through the art of cultural experience.
While your children enjoy a private Japanese culture tour within your room, you are completely free. Step out, dine, and savour precious time reserved for grown-ups, entirely at ease.
A knock at the door. A furoshiki unwraps like a treasure chest — and your room becomes a tiny Japan. Paper cranes take flight, princess cards whisper old poems, and a yukata turns your little one into the hero of tonight's story.
Only professionals who have cleared Japan's rigorous national standards — with proven childcare skill and a genuine spirit of hospitality — join our team.
