We really enjoyed having Marlene in our family! She was easy going and very flexible with all her tasks. She did a variety of jobs like gardening, cleaning, cooking, renovating, painting and she also looked after our dog Bamba for a while. Nothing was too hard for her. She cooked some nice food as well and introduced us to dishes from all over the

Marlene ended up staying with us three times in total and is welcome to stay with us again anytime!!
I stayed with this amazing family for almost 7 weeks — longer than I originally planned, simply because I really enjoyed it! From the very beginning, they did their best to make me feel at home. They’re a warm, loving, and welcoming family — full of humor and kindness. Their dog Bamba is absolutely adorable. They took me on some lovely trips that

I always felt comfortable and appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a meaningful and fun Workaway experience!

I came to stay with Uzi, Layla and Sahar for a week and ended up staying with them for 3 years!! They instantly made me feel at home when I first came and I quickly became a part of the family.

I hadn't planned on staying for so long but Covid made me change my plans and because everyone in the family made me feel so welcome and comfortable, I decided to stay, which was the best decision I could have made. If you are not sure what your next (or first, like me) Workaway experience should be, don't look any further and get in touch with this family, you won't regret it!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Vom Workawayer (Antonia) für Host
My stay with family Shein was a great experience for me. I really enjoyed spending time with Layla, Sahar, Uzi, Bamba and Cosmo. I loved my private cabin really much, it was really cosy, comfy and I had always my privacy when I needed. Thanks for Sahar, who taught me how to play piano, finally I can say I can play a Instrument. :)
I spent over a

It is also pretty cool that they live next to the beach, so I could jump straight into the ocean after a hard day of work.
I wish you all the best and stay safe.Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Antonia (we call her Toni) stayed with us for over a month, she is very easy going and it was a pleasure to host her. She cooked really nice food for everyone (I put on 2kgs while she was here! :) ) During her stay, Toni was very respectful and happily did the tasks that needed to be done either with the children, around the house, the garden or

Vom Host für Workawayer (Ella-George)
Within the first 10 minutes of Ella being with us she and Sahar became best friends running around the supermarket. Ella is very laid back and was happy to help out with the kids, playing soccer, guitar, cooking and cleaning. She raves SO much about her knowledge in soccer, but in the end she learned a few skills from me :D. The children really

My work-away experience with the shien family has been incredible! Within the first hour of being with them I felt like part of the family. Layla and Sahar are both very funny, extremely warm and bright individuals and are a pleasure to be around! I will miss playing soccer with Sahar and being hyper with layla. Layla introduced me to my new
… read more favourite dish... sour cream beans. Uzi is a great host, very funny, accommodating, relaxed and fair. He always offered to take me to mullum, Byron, Brunswick or the Gold Coast on his drives. They all taught me Hebrew and now I am fluent ;).
It was very nice to have private space in the cabin and the use of a private outdoor bathroom (very cool). The house is located right next to the bus stop and is opposite the beautiful beach, and I could hear the waves from the cabin. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to do this exchange and I will miss them all very much- including Cosmo and bamba. I Highly recommend doing a work away with this family if you get the chance!Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.

Our experience with Nadin was always full of joy. she is very caring and trustworthy. nadin was always enthusiastic to help out in the household with whatever needs to be done. she helped Layla and sahar with learning Spanish and is amazing at sports but we most enjoyed to play ping pong together. it's incredible how she improved her English only

Thank you for receiving me at home. Thank you Uzi for being patient, teaching me English and asking every day if I was okay and if I needed anything. Thanks for having long conversations with me.

My experience with the family was great. I loved their place from the first Time i arrived. We shared good moments with sahar and Layla , playing the guitar, the drums, ping Pong, and walking their dog Bamba at the beach.
The work that i had to do was a few hours of cleaning, doing the garden, some casual painting , and some afternoons just enjoy

The accommodation Is perfect, i have my owm cabin at the end of the garden , so i could be on my privacy although i used to spend most of the Time with the family.
I really reccomend it to anyone who would like some amazing holidays in front of the beach, very relaxing.
Thank you very much for sharing this month with me !Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
Vom Host für Workawayer (Amy)
Sahar (age 10): Amy is the best person in the world. She helps me to get calm when my sister annoys me and she is a very good cook. I've been training her in ping-pong but she is still very bad. She is a fun person to play with and you will always enjoy being around her. I didn't want her to leave.
Layla (age 12): Amy is an incredible person and
… read more is like part of our family. She is more than just an au pair to us. She was with us over two months and we would always cook together, play music, write songs, collage and do lots of other fun things. Amy has a really cool perspective on life and lots of stories from her travels. She helped me with practising Spanish and has an incredible singing voice. I taught her how to play the Ukulele and love to watch movies with her as she has the funniest reactions. Amy is VERY organised and has helped our family a lot. I see her more like a big sister and I wish her a safe trip back to see her family in England.
Uzi (Dad): Amy has been a great help. She is easy-going, mature, self-aware and trustworthy (except when you leave sweets around the house)! Amy is very caring, we can laugh with her and she is also a really talented musician. Anyone would be lucky to host her. She is welcome to return any time.

After spending just one afternoon with Layla, Sahar and their beautiful dog Bamba at the river, I knew I couldn't say no to being their au-pair. The children are such a joy to be around and we spent our time together playing ping-pong and soccer, reading and practicing English and a bit of Spanish, playing with Bamba and Cosmo (the cat), being

The family made me feel so welcome from the start and were very flexible so that I could immerse myself in living life as a local. I had my own space with separate accommodation from the main house in a beautiful wooden cabin at the end of the garden where I woke up to sunshine, the sound of the sea and the birds. Although it had no furniture when I arrived, they put effort into getting me the things that would make this space more homely and now it's a fully furnished bedroom and even has a min-fridge!
Life in this part of the world really does feel a little bit like paradise, especially with the beach right on your doorstep where you can watch the most stunning sunrise over the ocean! I am sorry to be leaving but know that I will be back to visit one day :)Du kannst nur Workawayer mit aktiver Mitgliedschaft kontaktieren.
