This was a last minute decision to go workaway because my daughters left last minute to Spain. It was as if I arrived at family…. Everything went smoothly from the start. Even though they have just required babysitting the girls ,I could not ignore helping with other chores because of the host’s pregnancy. A bicycle was provided for me to do

Khadija stayed with us couple of weeks and since the beginning everything went good. Already the welcoming was nice and warm, we felt easy and relaxed, like she was our own relative. She also bonded excellent with our two kindergarden aged children. Children loved her and took her right away like a part of our family. She teached our children a

She also kept the house tidy and made sure that there is always food available while us as parents were working. She is the most loving, warm, reliable, honest, patient and gentle person. She was the right choice for us and we would definitely recommend her to any family! Wishing her all the best in the future.

Chiharu stayed with us couple of weeks. She took very good care of our small children and household. She kept the house always tidy and she played with the children and even took them outside to play. In the evenings even she had her free time, she stayed with us watching tv and keeping the children in lap. She really loves children and does her
… read more work with warm heart. The children really loved her too. She is friendly, polite, quiet and funny girl, everything what we wanted. She even brought us welcoming gift, her favorite Hello Kitty soft animals for both of the girls. We wish her good luck in the future and everything good! Best wishes, Eija family.

I really enjoy Lorena staying in our house. She took very good care of our two small children. She took them even out to play and made them happy, laughing and having fun. I could easily leave her with the children alone and go out myself. She was friendly, kind and polite person. She was also very organized person. Children really loved her and
… read more they cried when she left. She was also very interested about Finnish culture, I still remember the moments in the evenings when we sit in living room and watched interesting documents about Finland and China together. We also went even sauna together. She was like part of our family and actually she felt more like sister to me! Communication was very good, she always announced us when she will go out and come back, so we didn't need to worry about her. She also kept the house always tidy and even washed the walls in our house (I didn't know is even possible). She was very hardworking and could do even man work without complaining. I was surprised how she do all the firewood for half year's use too. If she didn't know how to do something, she always asked me and wanted to learn. We had nice moments of cooking and baking together and I will never forget the delicious big Chinese dinner, not to forget the sweet desert too! She do everything what she promised. I can definitely recommend her in any type of work, because she is so smart and not afraid to work. Wishing her all the best luck and bright future, Eija family.

I stay in Seinäjoki for three weeks! It was fantastic! I will always remember the good memories of Seinäjoki! The two little girls were so cute, and the cute little cats. They (Eija and Mustafa) helped me a lot in many ways and taught me to cook a lot of food and I have to say I found myself gaining weight after I left there. Hahahahaha but that's
… read more a good thing, they were always worried that I would get bored and cared for me in many ways and tried to help me have fun, yes! Then I tried ice skating which was such a wonderful experience! I'm really grateful to them. They were always like older siblings discussing lots of things with me and I loved being with them, hopefully we can meet again sometime so I can do more for them! I will always miss this family at Seinäjoki! If someone helper is looking for a host family, please don't hesitate to contact them and don't miss the good memories with them! Sorry for the late comment, I miss them and hope they are well! Best wishes LorenaYou can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.
