Negative experience, at the beginning he seemed a correct and willing boy, instead he was not able to carry out the assigned activities because he was very presumptuous and did them without listening to the advice with the risk of creating damage. He also left without telling, or rather sending a message on the cell phone at 5 am saying he didn't… read more

Apart from this, I look back to the work in the… read more

Julian is a very correct guy responsible for the assigned tasks. Sociable with everyone but especially with children. He started a painting that unfortunately failed to complete because he had a health problem and had to leave, promising the children that he would be back to finish it this summer. The children ask every day when he comes back and… read more

The family were lovely too, I might… read more
