To say this experience was rewarding would be an understatement. Although before going to their home I felt quite homesick not being able to go home to the U.S. this summer, and Lluis, Rosa, and the girls gave me a second home for five weeks in Catalonia. From their grandparents to friends and neighbors, I felt integrated and included from the… read more

From the first day Dasha conected very good with the girls. We only had Dasha as a workaway for15 days, so it was a bit short. During these days she saw a lot of our way of life and she enjoyed her stay and we did too.
She was really involved with the girls and their activities. They had a great photographer!
If she would haved stayed a while… read more

My family here offered me an insight into the Catalán way of life. Gina and Iona are very smart and funny girls and have the will to improve their English. Mostly, they appreciate games and speaking but they weren't reluctant to do grammar and exercises. Lluis and Rosa are very active and cheerful every day, thus the environment at home is very… read more

Karolina is the youngest workaway that we’ve had till now and, what’s more, it’s been her first experience as an aupair, too. It might be the reason why along these 4 weeks we haven’t taken advantage of the situation, at all. Surely, Karolina will have learnt from this experience and this will let her enjoy much more the experiences yet to come.… read more
