Meet Reiko
A short hello from Reiko before you meet.
Why I do this work
“Hi! My name is Reiko Terayama, and I would love to support your family during your stay in Japan. I’m a sixth-year medical student with a dream of becoming a pediatrician. With clinical training and CPR and First Aid certification, I’m committed to providing safe, caring, and attentive support for your children. I spent a year in Texas as an exchange student, so I’m fluent in English and enjoy connecting with families from around the world. I’m cheerful, energetic, and love keeping children active and engaged. Whether you need help while sightseeing or a trusted sitter for an evening out, I’d be happy to help make your family’s time in Japan safe, relaxing, and memorable.”
Reiko's background
I’ve always loved being around children, and working with them has been a joyful part of my life. During my exchange year in Texas, I spent lots of time caring for and playing with my young relatives, which made connecting with children in English feel very natural. Back in Japan, I regularly volunteer at a local children’s home, enjoying everything from arts and crafts and outdoor games to study sessions. I’ve also been tutoring elementary and middle school students since my first year of university, making learning interactive, encouraging, and fun. Together with my medical training, these experiences have taught me how to create a safe, cheerful, and engaging environment where children can feel comfortable, have fun, and make wonderful memories during their time in Japan.
