Island time,
for the whole family.
A visiting babysitter for families traveling to or living on Ishigaki Island, run by a licensed childcare worker. Your hotel, the beach, a boat, your wedding — we come to wherever you are.
"Yuimaru" means
helping one another.
Yuimaru = "mutual help" in the Okinawan language
Ishigaki isn't a place you get to visit often. While you're here, we want both grown-ups and children to enjoy it to the fullest.
No one around to lean on, parenting solo with no time to breathe — that's exactly when we hope you'll rely on us, even for a little while, and recharge. That spirit of helping one another is what our support is built on.

Hello, I'm Haruna
Safety always comes first — I take great care to prevent injuries and accidents. While you're away, I send you real-time updates with photos of your child.
I adapt to each child's age, personality and mood of the day, and treasure their curiosity and sense of achievement — "I want to try!" and "I did it!" — watching over them at their own pace.
