Vom Host für Workawayer (Sylvie)
This was our first experience with hosting a 'Workawayer' and it definitely put us in the mood for more! Sylvie was a dream! From the first day that she was with us it was obvious.
Sylvie is warm and friendly and a dream to be around. She immediately ingratiated herself into our world by being so honest and up front with any and all issues that
… read more needed addressing. It was a breath of fresh air and removed any tension that may have been there straight away. One of the first questions she asked was if we would use the formal 'vous' or the informal 'tu', which I loved, and we of course used the 'tu'!
The children took a little more time to warm to her, which was expected, after all it was a stranger coming to live with them. But Sylvie put in every effort and they soon came around to her. Our son Will would perhaps take more time to warm to someone but Sylvie eventually had him asking for french nursery rhymes and helping him to do the dance. Sylvie was of course also very generous to the children, she bought them some lovely gifts, they still ask for the french nursery rhymes C.D. to be played.
Sylvie was always eager to teach us some french, which was great. She also was a great help around the house, the place hardly ever looked so clean. Importantly as well was that she knew when to step back. There are of course moments in the day when young children want their parents only, and Sylvie had the awareness to recognise this and react, which we very much appreciated.
We're glad that Sylvie had a good time with us here in Ireland. We have kept in touch, and we are travelling to France in September this year for a holiday and plan to meet up with her again whilst over there.
I have no hesitation in recommending Sylvie to anyone, she was a joy.
Vom Workawayer (Sylvie) für Host
It was a first experience for all of us and things were done naturally, very simply, in joy and good mood! We are all very happy!
Maura and John are really very friendly, really nice, caring, all the time listening to you, and very cool despite their occupations! They do their best to make you feel at home, sharing their family life, their way of
… read more life, and the good and happy times that come their way!
They are really interested in our culture, see passionate about France and french! They are always eager to practice the language, although it is not always easy for them to be completely available with work and children.
John loves to cook when he has time, and holds his battery of "chef's knives" as the apple of his eyes! :blush: Maura, meanwhile, could grant you very pleasant little moments related to her studies in progress! She even took me to Dublin while she was doing one of her internships!
Will and May are really adorable, and full of life like brother and sister of that age! They experience life every moment! They are very cute, spontaneous and endearing, although of course it took a little time to get used to me at first, it's normal! You will miss them when you leave!
There is not really any work to be done, it's more of a hand when it's needed in the housework around meals, whether it's help with preparation or do the dishes well and put a little order and cleanliness in the kitchen. Maura does not ask much, it's more a question of personal initiative when we see that help would be needed and welcome!
Look after the children and play with them from time to time as well, and in french when possible! May, and Will especially, adore rhymes sung and mime! They love to be told stories too ...
The nearby town is very "Irish" and it is very nice to make it a walkable goal to get a cool afternoon! Among other things, there is a very nice coffee shop behind the library, and their famous huge ice cream at the Centra supermarket!
On weekends it is possible to take a bus into town and to visit Killarney, Cork, Galway, even Dublin!
That's it, the little Doherty family is really endearing, as well as Maura's one, too! I had a great time with them and I recommend them very warmly!
(Moreover, an appointment is planed for next september in France ! :blush:)
C’était une première expérience pour chacun d’entre nous et les choses se sont faites tout naturellement , très simplement , dans la joie et la bonne humeur ! Nous sommes tous très contents !
Maura et John sont vraiment très sympathiques, vraiment gentils, bienveillants, tout le temps à l’écoute, et très cool malgré leurs occupations! Ils font tout leur possible pour que l’on se sente comme à la maison, dans le partage de leur vie de famille, de leur mode de vie, et des bons et joyeux moments qui se présentent!
Ils sont vraiment intéressés par notre culture, voir passionnés par la France et le français ! Ils sont tout le temps avides de pratiquer la langue, même si ce n’est pas toujours facile pour eux d’être complètement disponibles avec le travail et les petits.
John adore cuisiner quand il a le temps, et tient à sa batterie de « couteaux de chefs » comme à la prunelle de ses yeux ! :blush: Maura, quant à elle, pourrait vous accorder de petits moments privilégiés très agréables liés à ses études en cours ! Elle m’a même emmenée à Dublin pendant qu’elle était en stage !
Will et May sont vraiment adorables, et plein de vie comme un frère et une sœur de cet âge-là ! Ils expérimentent la vie à chaque instant ! Ils sont très mignons, spontanés et attachants, même si bien sûr il leur a fallu un petit peu de temps pour s’habituer à moi au début, c’est normal ! Ils vous manqueront quand vous partirez !
Il n’y a pas vraiment de travail à proprement parlé de demandé, c’est plus un coup de main quand il y en a besoin dans le travail de maison essentiellement autour des repas, que ce soit de l’aide à la préparation ou bien faire la vaisselle et remettre un peu d’ordre et de propreté dans la cuisine. Maura ne demande pas grand-chose, c’est plus une question d’initiative personnelle quand on voit que de l’aide serait nécessaire et bienvenue !
Surveiller et jouer avec les enfants de temps en temps également, et en français quand cela est possible ! May et Will surtout, adorent les comptines chantées et mimées! Ils aiment beaucoup qu’on leur raconte des histoires aussi…
La petit ville avoisinante est très « irlandaise » et c’est très agréable d’en faire un but de promenade à pied pour s’aérer l’après-midi ! On y trouve entre autre un coffee-shop très sympa derrière la bibliothèque, et leurs fameuses énormes glaces à la supérette Centra !
Le week-end il est possible de prendre un bus en ville et d’aller visiter Killarney, Cork, Galway, même Dublin !
Voilà, la petite famille Doherty est vraiment très attachante, ainsi que celle de Maura rencontrée également ! J’ai passé un excellent séjour parmi eux et je les recommande chaleureusement !
(D’ailleurs rendez-vous est pris en France en septembre prochain ! :wink: )Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
