Experience with Elena was really positive. She helps me a lot above all when Marianna was leaving. She is a woman with strong power and quite organized at home. She is very patience with our kids and I really happy to have her in our place. Thanks for everything!

Filippo and Mariana were very welcoming. I was very happy to meet them and they were very helpful when I had a question about Italian. The stay near the ocean was very nice, and even though there were a lot of mosquitos, they had everything I needed to keep them away. They also had some equipment that I was able to borrow in order to do snorkeling… read more

Left by host for Workawayer (Matthew)

Matthew, Matteo in Italy, deepened himself into the system of the family life... So much that he never went to visit the town. Not even once. :-)
He was caring, attentive, patient and ready to help everyone in every way, even the most unexpected, just being himself, not only "a Workawayer".

Once I had to tell him: "hey, you can say no… read more

Filippo and Marianna, and also their relatives have been really friendly and helpful from the beginning to the end of my stay with them.

Anna is a nice, discrete and reliable person. She stayed at our place for about three weeks to help with the childcare and some house keeping to. Only one thing I think is the best to give an idea of our experience with her: we hope one day she can come back and stay a bit longer with us! She was very nice with the children and I really… read more

I spent almost three weeks at Mariannas amd Filippos place and it was a great expierience.
My main task was to take care of Asia while Marianna is supervising Brunos homework.
The work was teally easy since Asia is a calm child, it is easy to cheer her up even when she is sick :)
Bruno is a bit shy, so it takes some time to get to know him, but… read more
