Vom Host für Workawayer (Ilaria)
It was an absolute joy to receive Ilaria here for around 2 months. She is one of those special people that are always in a good mood and bring a constant positive energy around them. She is calm but also warm, very proactive, reliable, punctual, intelligent, and great fun! In short everything you could wish for in a Workawayer.
She loved to play

We already miss here but fontunately she is staying in the Netherlands for a while longer. Since her stay we have become good friends and she is welcome anytime:)

Spending time with the family has been an enriching experience for me.
From day one, I felt super welcomed. Yvonne and Menno are kind, flexible and really open-minded. They love sharing their culture and are also curious to learn about yours. Their home really feels like your home — they adapt to your personality and make you feel part of the

You have your weekly schedule with household tasks and childcare, but in your free time you’re totally free to explore Dutch life however suits you best. And they’re always happy to give tips or help out when you need it!
Amadora is full of energy. She loves music, make-up, dancing and learning new things. She’s really sweet and caring, and loves to play games and chat. The twins are absolutely adorable. Rowan is a bit shy at first, but really cute once he opens up - just play with him and magic happens :) He loves small details, colors, bugs, flowers. Gwendolyn already speaks great English and loves talking, playing with puzzles and toys. She is super sweet. She is also really careful about her outfits in the morning, just let her choose what she likes the most. They’re both always on the move and super fun to be around.
The household tasks can seem like many at first, but once you get into your own routine, everything becomes easy and part of the day. Cycling is a must, but also a joy: the area is surrounded by nature and really peaceful, just enjoy it!
The family has a really positive vibe. I learned much from them about Dutch culture, practical things, family life… and even how to deal with the sheep in the garden :)
Since I consider them as friends now, it sounds even a bit strange to write a review, but it was a special experience ❤️
Vom Host für Workawayer (Grace)
We loved having Grace around! Grace stayed with us for 3 months to help out with the children, which wasn't work for her but something that she genuinely enjoyed. She was always in a good mood and willing to help, and was a valued part of our family life. She also managed to build a close bond with our eldest daughter and the twins. Even at her

Menno and Yvonne have been excellent hosts, I stayed with them from September till December which allowed me the opportunity to experience their fabulous holiday of Sinterklaas at the beginning of December. I felt nothing but welcomed and loved throughout my whole trip, I constantly got asked if I wanted to be apart of there family trips which I

Amadora is a fabulous girl who is nothing but energetic and passionate about everything she does and gives off a contagious positive attitude to everyone around her, we would often spend the evenings together playing games, watching movies or listening to music which quickly turned into one of my favourite memories. Rowan and Gwendolyn are a delight they are both sweet and loving kids. Rowan is a kind boy that is happy to show you his teddies that he takes with him everywhere or simply just cuddle with you in the evenings. Gwendolyn is a sweet girly girl that wants to show you all of her princess dresses and dance with you to frozen songs on repeat but if u don’t do as she demands you will be getting serious looks from her that can be quite scary but you just have to stay strong :)
The Rieff family have been a wonderful first Workaway experience for me. I am very appreciative of everything the parents did for me from giving me my space when I needed it too spending the evening drinking cocktails and sharing stories with each other. I can honestly say they have become a second family to me and I can’t wait to return ;)

I stayed with the Rieff family for 3 months, from the end of May until the end of August.
They are really welcoming and from the first day, Yvonne and Menno made me feel like their home was also mine. They would always check with me if I needed something or if I wanted a change in the schedule.

… read more during these 3 months I discovered their personality traits. The eldest, Amadora is very energetic, she always needs to move, dance, sing. She needs a lot of attention and she will be really happy if you spend time alone with her, doing drawings or playing games. Rowan is really shy at first, he has to adjust to you being here. But if you play with him, he will be confortable with you in the next days. He is a bit of a princess, really precious and he loves to dress up as Rapunzel or Snow White. Gwendolyn is not shy at all, she adjusts quickly to new people. She uses her cuteness to be manipulative so don't be fooled :) and she also loves pink !
I spent a lot of great moments with the family, and thanks to the parents I had a lot of good tips for discovering the Netherlands !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Staying with Yvonne, menno and the children has been an enormous pleasure for me.

Amadora is really special with all her passions and energies, I had a lot of fun with her and our dances together and the twins are just unique. They’re both lovely and sweet and at the same time each is so different. Gwendolyn is open as soon as she sees you and rowan is a little bit more shy but he will just crawl into your arms after a few days.
I happily say that I consider them a second family and I miss them so much !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Lucrezia)
It was an absolute joy to receive Lucrezia here for 3 months. She is cheerful, enthusiastic and up for anything. She knew how to make a great connection with both our 3-year-old twins and our 9-year-old (sometimes stormy but always sweet) daughter. With a lot of humor she knows how to set boundaries with the children and still keep the atmosphere
… read more very pleasant.
She also helped out in the household. She did the laundry, cleaned up the children's toys and changed the children's beds. She picks things up very quickly, only had to explain everything once and she was very proactive. When she saw that something could be cleaned up, she did it on her own.
She also liked to participate in the family. In the evening we all liked to play a game together, dance, sing or sometimes a weekend away. It was all so much fun. We are all sad that her trip is over. She is always welcome here.Learn about gardening and connect with nature in Lageland, the Netherlands
