I often told Laura that she was our Mary Poppins:blush: I couldn’t have hoped for a more lovely, positive, helpful person to come help us with our three kiddos and our house. She is energetic, organized, upbeat and efficient. She is an incredibly hard worker, and just jumps in to help without being asked. She was amazing with our kiddos and a

I enjoyed her company so very much, she is a beautiful person inside and out and the only downside to our experience with her was having to say goodbye. Come back anytime Laura, you are so missed:heart:

I highly recommend working for this kind, loving, fun and fantastic family. Laurie, Brent, Emily, Evan and Alex immediatly welcomed me into their home as if I was part of their family. I stayed with them at the end of my travels for about three weeks and I can just say I couldn't have asked for a better family to end my work and holiday year with.

I mainly worked around the household including child care. Emily and Evan were fun to play with and I loved our Dance parties, which I will miss very much!! Alex is just such a cutie, can't wait to see how fast he will grow up!!
I already miss all three of them very much!!
Laurie and Brent are really open for new things, easy going and always happy to share their experiences with you. I want to thank both of them for showing me around and making sure I have a great Canadian experience with their family and for helping me out with getting ready to leave Canada and going back home, I really appreciate that!!
Last but not least I want to say, Laurie it was such a pleasure getting to know you by working around the house with you. You are more like a big sister to me now than a workaway host. Thank you again for everything! I will miss our movie nights with Carina a lot!!
If I were you I would immediatly write this amazing Family and try to arrange a workaway spot with them.
I already miss all six of you very, very much and I can't wait to come and visit you again. Thank you again for everything you have done for me!! You are always welcome in my home and I hope to see you guys soon!!
LOTS and lots of love,
Laura :-)You can only contact Workawayers who have an active membership.

I absolutely loved staying in Cobble Hill. Laurie and Brent are great hosts who made me feel welcome right away. They have a wonderful home and lovely kids :) I was invited to go on little outings with them and they even helped me get around the Island by dropping me off in Victoria and Nanaimo for example.
My tasks included light cleaning and
