Such a welcoming and heartwarming person. I really enjoyed the time with her and her family, which i got included in from the first minute.

She made me feel very confortable, she became a second mum and we had very interesting conversations. I spent two weeks with her when I arrived in New-Zealand, she helped me to find my car, she was very understanding and helpful.
The work was not hard (she’ll make sure its not to hard or too much for you anyway)… read more
