Left by Workawayer (Sina) for host

When I arrived at the home of Francesca and her family I was integrated directly and was shown the daily tasks right from the beginning. They already welcomed many volunteers so the parents, grandparents, and children aswell are used to having someone around. It was therefore also no problem to do the bath time for Walter and play with him from… read more

Sina is an interesting woman with kind and elegant manners.
She integrated easily with all our friends and family, including the children, who were immediately enthusiastic about spending time with her.
I was impressed by her sensitivity and empathy, not least her ability to balance presence and discretion.
We would be happy to host her again in… read more

Anneli is a very sweet girl, very polite and sunny. She easily integrated herself in the family, in the city and she attended an Italian course which allowed her to improve her language level in a short time. Her help for us has been really precious and appreciated. The children adorn her.
Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness are contagious. We were… read more

Francesca was really really nice to me from the first moment we saw each other and even after I came back to Japan, especially under this difficult situation. I stayed with her, her husband and their cutest baby, Walter, for the right before the pandemic starts. Even though we all had insecurity for the world's change and dark news from TV, the… read more

Miu is a solar, polite, respectful and really good person. My son has totally fallen in love with her. Her presence in our family allowed us to know better her country and her traditions.

Kasia is a smart, friendly and reliable girl. She has a good experience and a strong attitude with children. My son established a good relationship with her in a short time.

Toluwalope is the person we all want to know. Solar, cheerful, sensitive and flexible. Her religiousness combined with her open mind makes her an incredible person.

Wow, how do I put this amazing experience in words? I really don’t know where to begin with this incredible family. This was my first workaway experience and it was so great and amazing!
Sometimes in life, you really connect with people in a way that feels as if you have met them before. This was my experience staying with Alberto, Francesca and… read more baby Walter. They all made me feel very at home. I feel extremely comfortable in a welcomed environment with open arms where I feels safe, a place where I find myself represented and reflected, and where I was treated with trust, respect and dignity. I became a member of the family from day one, this family is an amazing host, very accommodating, very free and flexible, always ready to share knowledge, ideas, and I really enjoyed typical delicious Italian food, the accommodation and a very nice environment, well connected by public transport.
Alberto has an excellent sense of humour, you would never feel bored when you stay with him, and he easily attracts your attention when he speaks. He is one of the most interesting, real and genuine people I have ever met. So motivating and inspiring, to say he is funny is a gross understatement, it takes a special kind of person to get people excited and forget their worries and anxieties. Thank you
Francesca a true picture of a good wife, mother and home manager. Highly sensible to people’s need and want everybody to be happy and comfortable. A woman who manages her family and work without leaving any one to suffer, a woman of substance and value. I learnt a lot from you which you may not even know and for me is a great lesson and added advantage to my experience as a religious which I can never forget.
Baby Walter, it is often said, “it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities” one big thing I appreciate in you dear is your ability to choose what you want as small as you are. Your intelligent is amazing, staying and playing with you make me realized how amazing young children can be. You are such a wonderful child fill with potentials. I will surely miss you.
Papa and Mama, I am short of words to describe you, my people will always say, “a grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart and a grandmother is like an angel that is just exactly what you are. Thanks so much, may you live long in good health of mind and body.
I would never forget the first time I met grandma and my experience of her, which I considered as a divine arrangement because I never knew that, will be my last time of seeing her. My first meeting with her left me with an indelible experience of a true, loving and caring grandmother. My daily prayer for you is that your soul may find peace and perfect rest in the Lord.
It is often said that gratitude is the sweet music of a matured mind. I sincerely appreciate your all the time care and love, my experience with you will certainly linger on in my memory.
