[ABSTRACT]Indonesia and Japan signed Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) in 2007. One of the agreement is to send Indonesian nurses to work as kanggo-shi (nurse) in hospital and as kaigo fukush-ishi (caregiver) in nursing home in Japan. In this paper I will try to explain the experiences of Indonesian nurses who work as caregiver in Japanese nursing home based on my preliminary study using method participant observatory in Japan. I will write three important points in order to give a balance accounts. Once delivered to the nursing home most of them found themselves really shocked with the contents of their new work. Because they are not allowed to perform any medical actions but to assist only on daily live of residents. Second is the communication issue. Although making communication with the resident using Japanese is a hard task, they found another way to communicate with the residents, that is with sabar (patient) and bercanda (make jokes). The last one is even they felt let down with the work of caregiver after work and learn about kaigo (care), they have diverse opinions toward kaigo. Some of them say that kaigo is a new knowledge for them that can be implemented in Indonesia once they return.
