Being with Coco and her family was an amazing experience and the memories I made during my time there will forever be part of me. Sienna and Aurora were absolute delights to be around, enjoying our fun afternoons in the playground, pushing them on the swings or playing hide and seek in the park.

I stayed with Coco and her family for 2 months. They welcomed me with open arms and made me feel a part of the family, including day trips out.
Sienna and Aurora are lovely and so is Coco herself and it was a lovely experience to be there.
Everything i needed was provided for me and i'm even thinking of going back at some point.
