Made for trips

Little breaks that make a big trip

Your holiday, with a bit of breathing room.

Date night

Grab a seat at a yatai food stall while the kids are tucked in back at the hotel.

Jet-lag mornings

Everyone awake at 5am? Catch up on sleep while someone fresh builds a pillow fort.

Days out

Bring a nanny along to Marine World or Ohori Park, or let them take the little ones somewhere gentler while you explore.

Museum afternoons

Wander a gallery or browse Tenjin at grown-up speed, no snack negotiations.

Travel days

An extra pair of hands while you pack, check out and get everyone ready to go.

How it works

Booked in four happy steps

  1. Browse and message

    Read profiles, watch intro videos and message nannies with any questions.

  2. Send a request

    Pick your date, times and where you’re staying. Nothing is charged yet.

  3. Your nanny accepts, you pay to confirm

    Once they say yes, pay securely by card to lock in the booking.

  4. Enjoy your time

    Head out and have fun. Your nanny can send you updates in the chat.

Meet on video first, free. Ask us and we’ll set up a video call with your nanny before you book, so your kids see a friendly face before the trip.

Your payment is held by TabiCare and only released to your nanny after the booking.

No surprises

No booking fee. Just the hourly rate.

A typical 3-hour date night is about ¥15,900 (≈ $108), all in.

Nannies set their own rate

Each nanny chooses an hourly rate between ¥2,500 and ¥10,000. You’ll see it on their profile.

3-hour minimum

Enough time for a proper outing, not a rushed hand-off.

A low 8% service fee

Many childcare platforms charge 20% or more. Ours is 8%, added at checkout for secure payments, vetting and support. You see the full total before you pay.

Free cancellation 48h+ before

Plans change. Cancel 48 hours or more before the start for a full refund.

Good questions

Things parents ask us

How are nannies vetted?

We check ID and residence status, call references, interview every nanny and encourage first aid training. Our safety page explains each step.

When am I charged?

Only after your nanny accepts your request. You then have 24 hours to pay and confirm. Your payment is held by TabiCare and released to your nanny after the booking.

Do all nannies speak English?

Yes. Every nanny on TabiCare speaks English, and we check this during their interview. Many also speak Japanese and other languages.
