We all fell in love with them - Always there to give a helping hand, play with the kids, cook and clean.

She is a happy, energetic, intelligent woman, incredibly hard working and a great cook - to be honest - she was one of the best work away experiences we had so far!
She is always welcome back in our house and we miss her already!!

They helped us a lot with the kids, were cooking and cleaning, without me even having to ask them to help. for us it was a great first experience, as it felt to me more like having guesses (which we always love to have) that help around.
