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.

May is a lovely season of fresh green leaves, isn’t it?

Here are some easy craft ideas perfect for day-service activities in May.

May is full of events like Children’s Day and Mother’s Day.We’ve gathered craft ideas that tie in with those occasions.

A lightning-fast guide to making a samurai helmet, a box, and a paper popper out of newspaper!

Many of you may have folded one when you were a child, or folded one for your own children or grandchildren.

While helmets made from origami are popular, using a newspaper lets you make a large helmet that actually fits on your head! Open up a sheet of newspaper, form an equilateral triangle, and trim off the excess to make a square.

From there, it’s just folding—but newspaper is soft and can be a bit tricky to crease.

Take your time and fold carefully, and you’ll be fine.

Once you’re done, have everyone wear theirs and take a commemorative photo—it’s highly recommended.
