Heyoan was a great guest to have. Awesome communication skills. Took initiatives in his task design, and was always keen on doing a good job: very detailed-oriented. We also became friends and had some nice conversations on spirituality. Thank you Heyoan, you were very helpful :) and you are welcome back anytime!

C'était vraiment un plaisir d'avoir eu l'opportunité de rester chez Kim pendant mon séjour à Montréal. Des le début, il y avait une communication très ouverte et honnête entre les deux, qui s'est développé en une relation d'amis.

Je te remercie encore Kim pour m'avoir accueillir chez toi:)

Helaine was a great guest to have in my home, and I will miss her thoroughly. She has a kind and generous personality. She was easy to work with and very honest.

I stayed 4 months at Kim's house. work is quiet and hours are flexible so I had plenty of time to do my personal activities. The super healthy, organic and natural food.

Jessi cared about doing a good job, learnt new valuable SEO and web design skills while performing tasks, was diligent in her work and overall very professional.

Jessi, you are welcome here anytime :) I wish you the best in your projects <3Feedback

Neri was an awesome guest. Very talented at home care. having him with us was like staying at the hotel. Neri is also very smart and very sensitive. And knows the fine balance between being friendly and sociable and respecting personal boundaries very attentively. Unfortunately he could only stay with us for 10 days because of a family emergency

So I stayed for one week at Kim‘s house. I really enjoyed it. The first two days I felt, to be honest, a bit uncomfortable, but after telling Kim, she immediately gave me a welcoming feeling! It was nice that I could tell her my feelings and that I would rather be respected than judged by her.
At Kims house you get an own room, three cute cats,
… read more interesting conversations and incredible organic food. The lifestyle of Kim and her husband are very interesting and a lot where you can learn from. Kim and I had some interesting meditiation sessions by „The Work“. I really enjoyed learning from her about meditation and nutritions.
Also, Kim respected my vegetarian/vegan diet and I did not have to cook meat or fish. The volunteering schedule was very flexible and gave me plenty of time to discover Montreal.
So it was really a pleasure to meet you Kim! I enjoyed our honest and interesting conversations, thanks a lot!

Kantom was a very helpful presence in the house and very diligent in doing the tasks as I asked them. and learning new tasks fast, She stayed with me for a week, and before accepting her, I was a bit misgiving about having short-term guest from workaway as I feared they may not be as conscientious as a long-term workaway guest. In Kantom's case,

She showed herself to be authentic in her communications, and perceptive to my needs for privacy when I needed them. I would have hosted her for longer, but I had another guest arriving after her, and I would definitely host her again. With gratitude, Kim :)
Left by host for Workawayer (Mira)
Oh my Gosh, where do I start? Mira was just awesome! She learnt fast, knew very well how to take care of a home. It got the point where I didn't even need to tell Mira what to do: quickly into her stay of more than 3 months, she started making her daily tasks lists based on her knowledge of what the job was. She knew what to buy at the groceries,

I was inspired by her dedication to her goals. I would definitely host her again and again and again! I also want to ad that she kept our 3 cats when we left on a trip of 10 days, and that I trusted her with my home, alone. With deep gratitude for how helpful she has been to me, Kim.

Yooney was a great guest to have. We lived together for 3 months. I found her to be very accommodating, and she learnt a lot of new things I asked from her (like making cakes, vegan cheeses, fabric earrings, etc...) with enthusiasm and focus. I enjoyed that she was respectful of my private space while still friendly. And that she was a very

Kim really respects my time and also she is one of the most reasonable person I've ever met. She is really open for communication about working. She offers you organic too. While I'm staying there, I become to enjoy healthy food a lot more than I did.
The place is really close to metro and safe. I've never really felt unsafe in Montreal.
