Find an English-speaking babysitter or nanny in Tokyo

Where can I find an English-speaking babysitter or nanny in Tokyo? Myjin lists 8 English-speaking babysitters and nannies in Greater Tokyo, which on this page means Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba. Of these, 7 are in Tokyo and 1 is in Kanagawa, and the Tokyo listings are shown first. The Tokyo listings cover 4 of the 23 wards, including Minato-ku, Chuo-ku and Shibuya-ku. All 8 are rated Good or better for English, and every row shows the English level recorded for it. Examples in Tokyo include Rainbow Kids Care, CareFinder, Poppins and Babysitters & Company. Within each group, rows are ordered by English level, then by the most recent check, then by name; the order is not a judgement of quality. It includes babysitting and nanny services, including home-help companies that list them; preschools and kindergartens are not on this page. The most recent check on this page was on 16 October 2026.

Myjin is a directory, not a review site: “English-friendly” means a listing has a recorded English-support note, not a rating of quality; each listing is checked against the source it was found in and the business’s own site, and every row shows its last-checked date. How Myjin checks listings

Frequently asked questions

How does Myjin decide that a babysitter is English-speaking?

A listing is included when it has a recorded English-support note: staff who handle English, English paperwork, or English-language booking. Before a listing is published, Myjin opens the source it was found in and the business’s own site to confirm it exists, is still trading, and that the note matches. It is not a rating of quality.

Does “English-speaking” mean the babysitter, or only the booking office?

It depends on the listing. Each row shows the English level recorded for it, and the listing page shows the English-support note from the source. Myjin does not test anyone’s English, so if it matters who speaks English, ask when you book.

Is the order of this list a recommendation?

No. Myjin is a directory and does not recommend one service over another. Tokyo listings come first, then the rest of Greater Tokyo; within each group rows are ordered by English level, then by the most recent check, then by name.

Are babysitting services in Yokohama and Saitama included when the page says Tokyo?

Yes. This page covers Greater Tokyo: Tokyo, Kanagawa (which includes Yokohama and Kawasaki), Saitama and Chiba. Of the 8 listings, 7 are in Tokyo and shown first; 1 is in the other three prefectures.

How often are listings checked?

Listings are revisited on a rolling basis, and anything reported as closed or no longer English-friendly is corrected or removed. Each row shows the date it was last checked; the most recent check on this page was on 16 October 2026.
