Fatemeh stayed with me 9 days, she was very respectful and we had great conversations together. She is very easy going, reliable, and she was always there to help me when I need it. If you have the chance to host Fatemeh, I highly recommend that you do it. She is always welcomed to come back in my home.

He is easy to talk to and since he is a retired high school teacher, you can ask him any questions about this job and he answers them all patiently, based on his experience.
