Ross, Nina, Rayven, Flapsy, Mean and Misty are an amazing family. I was around 2 months with them and I enjoyed a lot. It was my first experience as workayer and was unsurpassable.

Sorry that the house was not in order. If we had known animals got in we would have cleaned it. Unfortunately we had no control over our circumstances and had known food in the fridge was off in our absence we would have had it cleared. Internet was offered next day. So sorry it was not for you. Maybe a couple more independent would have had great… read more
