I have experience taking care of family members as well as working as a certified caregiver.
I am here to help you with any concerns and worries you might be experiencing no matter how minor they may seems, such as concerns related to childcare, caregiving, exhaustion from being caught between two parties, or if you are a native Japanese speaker but find it hard communicating in various aspects of life, work, etc., and of course any other concerns you might have as well. I will listen to your story carefully.
Is there something that is bothering you at the moment?
If there is something that has been constantly worrying you, constantly stuck on your mind, it can be stressful, can’t it?
When you are a child, you are praised when you can play well.
It’s fun to be able to do more and more things.
However, as you grow up, the number of things you ‘can no longer do’ increases.
If you can’t do something today, you can carry it over to the next day, and with a little effort, you can reduce the amount of stress.
Rather than continuing to stress about your concerns and assume they are just minor issues compared to someone else’s, I hope that you will be able to talk to me first. I believe that when you are troubled by something, it is already a big issue for you.
If you prefer to talk like you are on the phone with the camera off, or if you prefer to use the chat option instead of audio or video, I can accommodate those wishes as well.
It is very important to “get it out” of your system.
Why not talk to me before you feel too overwhelmed by it?
Feel free to drop by as if you were at dropping by at your favorite cafe.
Please don’t hesitate to talk to me.
〖For students who would like to learn Japanese〗
Nice to meet you. My name is Chika.
It’s alright if you can’t read everything.
What is your favorite thing?
Please tell me.
=This is what Shiga Prefecture is like=
△It is a nice place to live in, with mountains and lakes nearby.
It is also home to the largest lake in Japan, 〖Biwako (琵琶湖)〗.
△We also have trams with only two cars.
It is beautiful all year round with cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, autumn foliage in autumn, and the snowy scenery in winter.
