We really can’t say enough good things about Mareike. She is an absolutely lovely human being! We had a great experience with her. From the beginning she was fantastic caring and playing with our 5 year old daughter Emilia. Mareike was creative, fun and always positive, she integrated really well to the family dynamics and knew exactly how to help

We are really going to miss her ! 🩷

The last two months on Bowen Island have been absolutely wonderful and will always remain in my memory. Whether it was playing with and helping Emilia, taking the dogs for walks, or cooking and cleaning in the kitchen—the tasks were fun and easy and still left plenty of free time.
Emilia is a sweet and open-hearted little girl, and I loved

Even though the house was a bit farther from the village, there was always a way to get a ride or borrow the car, which allowed me to visit friends on the island or in Vancouver during my free time. But also the nature around is really beautiful, and I loved exploring it in my free time. From the beginning, I truly felt like part of the family, and we had many great experiences together. Whether it was Christmas, visiting family on Gabriola Island, skiing, ice skating or other trips in the city or on the island, I always had a great time with them.
Thank you for having me and giving me this amazing experience!
I really hope we will see each other again!Feedback

Our experience with Rose was nothing short from magical. Rose possesses amazing communication skills that are both professional yet friendly and casual, I knew from our first talk that we were going to vibe together. She was so reliable with everything and anything that was needed around the house: taking the dogs for walks, picking up grocery

Her presence around the house felt like the one of an old friend who’s got your back, always smiling, open and ready for whatever that day might bring which was exactly what our family needed. I can’t recommend enough this beautiful human to any other hosts out there. 😌

One of my favorite workaway exchanges! My time here has been so peaceful and nurturing. Ana (mother) has become such a cherished friend, Jesse (father) is a really cool guy but is gone most of the time for his work, and Emilia (4.5 yr old daughter) is the sweetest, most beautiful, and friendly soul ever. I've nearly completed my 2 month stay with
… read more this family on this magical island and I'm getting emotional about leaving; I'll miss this place so much. Emilia is such a joy to be around she is smart and caring and very open to loving new people fiercely. She gives the best hugs!!! Ana is an incredible mother and has given the home a very peaceful and welcoming energy. She's always helping me do everything I want to experience like hiking, beach days, bungee jumping, going out dancing in the city, yoga classes, trying new restaurants, and exploring new places. They even took me to their family's island for a weekend trip! The tiny island of Bowen is so precious with trails literally everywhere. Walking to the beach is 10 min and a stunning walk. Lots of free time to explore and just have me-time. I also worked part time online while staying here and had zero issues with wifi or a space to work or even time restraints. The dogs are sweethearts too. This place will be in my heart always as well as the precious relationships I've created with the girls 💕 I'm definitely coming back eventually and am so touched to have experienced this exchange!!!! <3 <3 <3Regenerative farm/homestead with the intention to create community on 200 acres in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec, Canada
