Help us with our children and enjoy our treehouses and garden in the Swiss countryside, of Ogens

Liam and Ruth just left our home and we miss them a lot already. They came here in July wich is the hardest month for us as the kids are on holidays and our BnB is full. But they were so helpful that it felt easy. They are very skilled, always doing a great job and very friendly.I showed them the tasks once and then everything was done perfectly… read more without supervision. I could trust them 100%.
They were generally helpful when we were spending time together and they were very tidy and organised. They were also taking initiatives when needed to make the job even better.
We had a great time talking and sharing ideas and experiences after dinner and most importantly the kids loved them. The trip they are doing is amazing and I wish that they will cycle towards you so you ll have a chance to meet them and hopefully host them. They brought a lot of good vibes in our home. Thank you for everything and hopefully see you soon (with Spiker :-)

We usually take english speaking workaway but the message I got from them was so nice that I wanted to meet them and share some times with them. And that feeling was so right! We were so happy to have Sami and Pauline around. They helped us a lot and always with a smile on their face. The kids loved them and they spent time babysitting too as we… read more trusted them 100%. There was an overlap with workaway from NZ so we all spoke english for a few days and I can garantee that their english is good. This is also the perfect type of workaway and we hope that you might come back on your way down. All the best for your summer and see you next time. I ll say hello to Pipo for you Sami :-)

It was great to have them as workawayers. They did an amazing job! Every task was done perfectly, they were very conscious about details and also taking good initiatives and planning/ organising the tasks the tasks
We had a great time sharing meals and time off. George and Luiza were always ready to go on a little adventure or sharing the family… read more life. Many times they spent time playing chess or monopoly with the kids

I would like to be able to put more than 5 stars for Gonzalo. First because he has such a great personality, he is so sweet, looking after others and helpful. We had a great time sharing our house with him and the kids loved him. We hope that our children will have such a big heart when they turn 20 :-)
On top of his great personality, Gonzalo is… read more very handy. We had a lot of little construction/ renovation jobs and he was doing this with a lot of expertise. You can show him what to do and then trust him 100% to things perfectly. He was very tidy and we also had a good time having him and his good vibes around the house. We really hope to see again and you ll always be welcome here as a friend.
So if Gonzalo wants to stay with you, please say yes and you ll never regret it. He 's the best! And ask him to cook Empanadas for dinner once, so yummy!

Isla came as a last minute workawayer and it was such a good surprise. She was so helpful and always ready to complete the tasks perfectly. We had a great time sharing meals and activities together.

Kayla and Wyatt were rally nice. They were really helpful and doing a great job. They were also very independent and enjoyed doing activities and small trips around Lausanne and other places.

Thank you Ned & Gem

When Gabriela sent me the first email via workaway, I straight away felt she was a sweet and very careful person.

It took my a while to write this feedback as I had a big issue: How could you rate someone out of 5 stars when you would like to put 20 stars?

It was too short and we are looking forward to see them again as friends… read more for skiing, a week end in Amsterdam or who knows where around the globe. Stay as you are cause you are great!

Our BnB was fully booked with check ins and check outs everyday, lots of kids staying and our kids being also at home...there was so much to do! But with them around it seemed easy. First because they were doing an amazing job, also because they were also very proactive to help us and most… read more important they were so positive and happy that the good vibes were spreading on all of us.

I can't believe that we almost missed the opportunity to have them with us. It was so great. The job was done perfectly from day one, they were always taking good care of the kids (I think Sean was our big boy favorite workaway ever) , it was so nice to spend time with them. Please do not hesitate to welcome them and trust me you'll never want them to go... we've tried to invite them back again sometimes or we ll visit them in LA. Lots of love from all of us <3 and keep in touch

I have contacted Jessie and Andrew on the last minute list. They were ready to join us quickly and we were so lucky we manage to get them here for a while. I had to show them the work once and it was always absolutely perfect since then. It was really amazing! We could trust them 200% on any tasks. We had great time sharing food, stories and time… read more together. They are so sweet and they quickly adapt to our big family. Mila enjoyed baking with Jessie and Mathis enjoyed spending time with Andrew. They were always happy to spend time with us and explore the area. I know they will look for other workaway and that's probably why you're reading this feedback, so jump on this occasion! We had many workaway and they were definitely one of the best. Andrew. Jessie, thank you again for the good vibes you brought in our house and the great help you provided. We hope to welcome you again soon and also to visit you in NZ. All the best

Oh Marc and Nereida are great! They arrived here for the opening of the season, it's always stressful and busy but with them it was easy. After one day of training they were already doing a perfect job. We could trust them 100%. But workaway is not only about working it's mostly about sharing and living together and we had such a good time. Always… read more laughing and having good talks. The kids loved them so we are very glad they are living in Barcelona so we can visit them one day. If they contact you make sure you don't miss the opportunity to meet such a nice couple! Oh and I forgot, they cook delicious Spanish food :-)

It's my husband Renaud who picked Lauren and Darren at the airport and on the way back he called me and said: " I can tell you we will miss those two when they'll leave"
And he was so right!
After their first day of work, I went around the rooms to check and I told my husband "No need to go and check, it is just perfect and done better than… read more us"
We had so much fun during meals and in the house while they were house. They are always happy and sharing. We had amazing Scottish dance performance and we are Lochness experts :-)
I sometimes wish, we could put more then 5 stars on the rating, I would definitely put more for these two
Enjoy your trip and as soon as you are back we ll organise to visit you..or maybe you stop by on the way back home to close your trip just how you've started it!
Kisses from all of us

We had the best summer since we open our B&B and his because we had Jon and Karla in the house! They were so helpful and always doing a great job. Summer here is very busy and there is a lot to do but we felt they were always full on. They are such a nice couple, the good vibes they have together are spreading around the house. They were always… read more happy and ready to explore the area. It was easy to communicate with them and we had a very good time together. They have an amazing feeling with kids, they were very sad to see them leaving. Hopefully we ll see you again in the future. all the best!

I have asked Paulius and Aiste to come and help because they were on the last minute list and I needed some help urgently. As it was last minute I wasn't expecting anything in particular and we had such a great surprise. They were here so quickly and we were so happy to meet this nice couple and their very friendly and well behaving dog.
They are… read more healthy, creative but also very efficient and proactive. We were looking for some help and we got more, they are really doing a great job and we are lucky to have them around. I am sure they could potentially do other helpful job for you (design on the computer, help with yoga class, ...) as they are talented for many things
The kids like them as well so we all had a good time together
Do not hesitate to welcome them at your place, you won't regret it, I promise
Paulius and Aiste, please come back to say hello on your way back to Lithuania or next time you come to Montreux for yoga classes :-)
All the best on your way down south

Ok now I have a problem because there is only 5 stars on the workaway rating. For Jennifer and Dylan, I could have put 10 stars. It was amazing! We had many workaway, it was almost always very nice but they are above all experience we had. The job asked was perfectly done, and they were so proactive. Dylan helped us building a treehouse and Renaud… read more enjoyed a lot working with him. They are both smart, friendly and according to our daughter very pretty :-) To be honest it's true. If you read this rating it's probably because they contacted you, you don't be crazy....say yes immediately as it is the best opportunity you could get on workaway probably.
To you Jennifer and Dylan, as you might be in London for a while, please come back to visit and we ll go skiing together. Next time you are guests and friends :-)

Abi stayed with us in June with is high season already. We usually take couples but I liked Abi's profile so I took her alone. She was amazing at doing perfectly the job, even so she was alone. She was always helpful and so sweet. We were amazed by her french, her german and her general culture....she is very smart and has a perfect education. Her… read more boyfriend Sebastian was always welcome as he was also a great person. We had a very good time together and we really hope to see you again as friends. All the best to find a good school in Switzerland (so you ll be around :-)

Chris and Faith were saving our life during the crazy month of July. The treehouse were full everyday and the kids around all day. They are expert in service and hospitality so it was very quick to teach them the tasks and they were very efficient. We loved the fact that they were so energetic, always ready to discover or try new things...it… read more brings al lot of energy in the house. The kids loved them and we had a great feeling too. We ll visit in California one day...or you might come back skiing once :-) Kisses from all of us

Katie and Vinnie came as last minute workaway. Katie is the sweetest person ever and Vinnie is so cool. We had a great time together..actually it was so good that we manage to find away to have them back this winter :-) We are looking forward! If they contact you, quickly say yes and you ll be very happy to meet them

Evander and Sophie were so nice. From day one, we had the feeling to know each other. The kids invited them straight away in their room to do some lego and from that first afternoon they were very good friends. We let them do babysitting as we trusted them 100%. They did the treehouse job very quickly but also very well.
They had to leave a bit… read more earlier than planned but they didi a perfect hand over we the new workawayers so the transition was very easy and smooth for us
If they contact you for a workaway, take them directly because they are really great! For sure we will visit them, the dog, the pigeon and their beautiful country in the coming years. All the best for the rest of your trip

To be honest, I was about to write an email to the website manager to ask for a sixth smiley! We had many great experiences with workaway and we made good friends but with Mollie and Jeff it was too short. Renaud told me after 2 days "Maybe we should ask if they could stay for 6 months). I think we had this feeling for a few reasons: - First they… read more are always happy, laughing and enthusiastic (it creates very good vibes in the house) - They were doing a perfect job and even bringing new ideas to improve our ways of working - And they were just a good match with us and the kids.
So if you got an email from them, dont even ask yourself if you should host them...Just take the opportunity to meet this lovely couple!
For sure, we ll meet again...who knows where
Send me pictures of Dom Dom pies :-)

Aslak came very last minute and he saved our lives. We were just back from holidays with the kids around and no help. He came here and picked up the job very quickly. He was always happy to give a hand and was doing a great job. He has a special feeling with kids, being nice and funny but very responsible. Alines misses her daily rollerblade… read more training with you. All the best for your year off and enjoy it to the max!

Masa came for the end of December and we share so many great memories together. We had the chance to celebrate birthdays, Christmas and new year with him. Masa is always happy and so enthusiastic, it brings a great atmosphere in the house. He was cooking delicious Japanese food for us and teaching a bit of Japanese to the kids. Masa was alone but… read more he manage to do all the work, and it was really nicely done. He put a lot of effort in the tasks and he was doing great. We really hope to visit your hotel in winter once and you ll always be welcome her with your family. Finally the snow arrive in Europe, enjoy it!!!!!

We were so happy to host hazel and Luke. They were excellent and we had a very good time together. This time of the year is quiet for our treehouse business so the tasks were very different each day (from cleaning, building trails, creating gift vouchers, christmas decoration, playing with the kids or general maintenance) They were very quick to… read more learn and the job was well done. We had very good discussions about life and we laughed a lot together. We share good meals together. Hazel is an easy going vegetarian, which forced us to be creative and try new recipe even so she eats. They are sporty so always happy to go on adventure. We hope to see you again and we hope to try the glitter water or peanut butter lemonade once :-) Kisses from all of us

I usually accept workawayers that contact me but one day I saw Paige and Chris profile and for the first time I have asked them to come to our place. I liked their profile and I was 200% right as they were so nice, always enthusiastic, great with the kids and really part of the family and our project.
Paige did haircut for the boys and Renaud,… read more she gave us an amazing map of NZ with all the secret spots to discover and Chris is a tall and strong guy that is always ready to help or grab something that was to high for me :-) Good luck for your next projects, let's see each other again. Kisses from all of us

It was really nice to have Erin and Clara part of our family
They are both very calm and nice, so he really brought some peacefulness in the house. The kids were really feeling well with them and they were always available to help them with their arts and crafts, games, food, etc...the best nannies ever
The work for the treehouse was perfectly… read more done and they even did a handover with the next workaway, really good job!
We shared some good moments and did some nice days out too
I really hope that my kids will be so well educated and polite and smart as you two are
Say hello to your puppy from us :-)

Stacey and Jabin stayed with us with more or less 3 weeks and it was like holidays for us. They were doing the job prefectly and quickly, they were bringing lots of fun and joy in the house and everywhere we were going together. We shared great discussion around good meals.
That's exactly for this kind of exchange that we love workaway. It is so… read more nice to meet people like Stacey and Jabin and be able to create a friendship with very nice young couples like them traveling the world. We wish you all the best in the cold weather of Iceland, enjoy it a lot and let's keep in touch...pretty sure we ll meet again somewhere sometime. Lots of kisses from the kids
Oh and I remember, in the car when I picked you up that you said " we might have kids next year so it is a good test to live with you for a while", so we can tell you that you are 200% ready for kids and that those little one will be very lucky to have parents like you <3

We usually welcome couples but I read Nohe's profile I found amazing that she was travelling with her dog. It was a great experience to meet her and Olive. She was a great and always happy to help with the treehouses and the kids and also always interested to share experiences or good discussion about our different cultures and countries. Olive… read more was reall well behaving, she was so friendly with the kids and the guests. The house was really missing some good company when they left. Good luck for your future travels and maybe see you soon. Give a cuddle to Olive for us

They were our third workawayers and apparently we got really lucky again.
Michal is tall, strong and hard working, Zuzana is tiny, full of energy and very organised...the perfect balance:-)
They were so efficient and always doing the extra thing that will surprise you and make you happy. You ask them to cut the grass and when you come back the… read more terrasse is cleaner than it has never been before. You ask to prepare breakfast baskets and the shelves are clean and organised..and this is just a few examples, we had good surprised every day
They have an amazing trip to achieve now but we wish to welcome them again in Winter or Spring
It was really nice to know you and spend some times with you
I am looking forward to follow your hike within the next months
Thank you for everything

It was our pleasure to host Katie and Matt. They are a very nice and sweet couple that on top of being extremely reliable are also a real pleasure to engage with. Despite their lack of international experience they are very keen to explore and experience new things and are always happy to help and learn new things. They are in the same time… read more discreet and very effective when asked to help on anything. So all together a great work away couple ;-)
We wish you all the best for the coming year, hopefully traveling until the "cow day" 2017 :-)
Renaud & Marie

We are hosting workawayers to help us cleaning and maintaining our treehouses
That's why Kelsey and Isaac initially came
I have trained them and they were quickly up to date and very helpful
But very quickly Isaac and Kelsey spontaneously proposed to add value to our marketing and communication by doing amazing pictures, communication material… read more and we even finally agreed on doing a new website together
So it is now much more than a workaway as we will keep working together and choose them our official communication agency
If you have the opportunity to have them at your place, take the chance to benefit from their great talent
Now that we are welcome in Perth this winter, we might visit :-)
Enjoy your trip and thank you for the great work done and still in progress

Nathalie was a bit of a last minute workaway and it was such a good surprise
In our country we say that swiss germans are tidy and organised. It was really true for Nathalie but at the same time she was funny and kind
She was very flexible (I think she tried all our guest rooms and treehouses:-)
My husband wanted to ask her to stay as an au… read more pair for a few months but I told him it was more important for her to meet her boyfriend in england, but it is true that she is the kind of girl that makes your life so much easier by helping that you would love her to stay around bringing her positive energy and attitude in the house
We are not far away so we will for sure see each other again

Madi and Alex are a really nice couple. They are so closed to each other, a very strong pair and mature couple. They are introvert but always happy to share meals or talk about our cultures and experiences. They are very organised and very determined wich is amazing for such young people.
I am sure the will have a great travel and they will… read more achieve their goal of having their own house because the are hard working.
During their stay, our little girl had an accident by the lake, nothing too serious but lots of blood :-( Madison was so careful and kind with her, it was really touching and helpful for my little one that stopped crying and felt better because of Madi's nice story telling
See you soon around the world and enjoy the rest of your trip
Marie

Roisìn joined our familly for a few days but it was so nice that we manage to keep her for a little bit longer. She is so sweet and nice. Just having her around was helpful because her personality, she is the kind of person that is surrounded by good vibes, she is always smiling and listening to good music. She is quiet and polite and you can… read more really share interesting conversation with her, she is so mature, we couldn't believe she was not even 20 years old! The kids named her "Friend" and the beds of treehouses looked like Palace beds (I am really not able to fold the sheets so perfectly, I was impressed and the guests as well)
In summary, I really hope we will visit Roisin in Ireland once and I really hope that my girls will be this type of young adult one day
I always tell my kids " Be nice and people will be nice in return" and Roisin was a good example of this

Matthew and Sophie were our first worawayers and I can tell you the benchmark is now very high. They are so friendly, positive, energetic and proactive. We had a great time together they were so helpful with our treehouses, kids and in and around the house in general.
They had many good ideas to add value and make our business more… read more efficient.
On the side we shared great moment together discovering our countryside, culture and sharing good meals. They stayed 4 weeks and we will miss them, but for sure we will meet again because they were more than worawayers to us
Enjoy Europe and see you soon
