Free housework supporters from pregnancy to under age 3
- Childcare itself is not included in the services
The city sends housework supporters free of charge to Katsushika City families who are pregnant or raising children under 3. From October 1, 2025, single-baby pregnancies were added in addition to multiple pregnancies. The limit is 96 hours per pregnant woman or child under 3. For twins it is 120 hours per baby or child, and for triplets or more, the number of babies or children × 96 hours. The hour limit is determined by the child's age when you apply and is valid until the day before the next birthday, so apply again after the birthday. Services include everyday meal preparation, laundry, general cleaning of rooms and wet areas, tidying, shopping for daily necessities, accompanying you to checkups, etc., and childcare consultation (listening). Childcare itself is not included in the services. It is free, but transportation costs when the supporter visits your home and cancellation fees are paid by the user.
