Babysitting was not a “thing” here, generally, until somewhat recently. \u00a0Traditionally in Japan the woman stays home while the man works, while families lived with their parents and extended families much more often, thus lessening the need for a stranger to come into the home. \u00a0Over time all of these facets of Japanese society have changed somewhat, and there has been an increase in the need and availability of babysitting, nanny, and other domestic services in Japan.<\/p>\n

Especially in Tokyo this increase in demand has\u00a0brought options for\u00a0English speaking childcare services as a happy side benefit. \u00a0It is possible to find babysitters advertised in some online classified sites and ads posted in international supermarkets around town, and through some companies, like these below.<\/p>\n
