My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

Let's make flowers bloom on a withered tree.

A game where you toss flower pieces at a withered tree target set on the floor to make the tree bloom! Attach paper plate targets with point values written on them to the tips of the branches of the withered tree target.

Using flower pieces prepared in advance—made by crumpling newspaper or paper clay and wrapping it in tissue paper—toss them at the paper plate targets, and with each throw, the withered tree gradually blossoms.

It’s perfect for Mother’s Day: you can move your body while enjoying not only the score tallying but also the changing appearance of the target.
