Amelia is very young but mature for her age, she has good humour, we enjoyed playing rummi together. She got along pretty well with the other workaway. She was very respectful. It was nice having her around.

I spent a week with Paz in February and I had a great time! I mainly worked in the garden, but occasionally I would help clean the house.

Amelia was a pleasure to host. She is a smart and conscientious young lady , full of positive energy and unusually astute for her age so I was delighted with her company and conversation as well. On top of that she is also very creative and diligent and seems to make the best of her time and energy. You can be lucky to host her.

I had a great time with Jey and her family! I spent 3 weeks in Nice with them and had nothing but a great time. The kids are wonderful to work with and have a great understanding of English. Jey is very easy to get along with and the amount of work is very reasonable. The working times were very clear by getting a schedule at the beginning of the … read more
