Suginami City residents who are pregnant with twins or triplets, or who are raising multiple-birth children under 3, can request helpers for housework and childcare. Available hours are divided into three stages by the children's age: 240 hours from when the pregnancy is confirmed until under age 1, 180 hours from age 1 to under 2, and 120 hours from age 2 to under 3. The cost is ¥500 per hour, and it is free for households on public assistance and households exempt from resident tax. The helper's transportation costs are paid separately by the user.
Nationality and residence status
The official page (checked in October 2026) sets no condition on nationality or residence status that we found. Eligibility follows the official conditions, not the language of this page; many programs require resident registration in the municipality.

Notes
The hour limits are set for each age bracket; 240 hours is not a cumulative total limit. Transportation costs are paid by the user.
