Dear Xavier, dear Celeste and dear Adriano,

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful time with you.
Above all, I am very grateful to you for taking me in just a few hours after my request (a seaside position had been canceled for me at very short notice).
Your warmth, kindness, and openness are very comforting. I really … read more enjoyed feeling like a member of the family. So my taks didnt feel like work to me.
The time I spent with Xavier was a joy for me. He is full of energy and creativity. I find it fascinating how clear an idea he usually has of what he needs and wants in the moment, as well as what he doesn’t want. If he likes a suggestion for a new activity, he develops it further with his creativity and stays focused with amazing concentration. So lovely to see.When it made him happy at that moment, I sang German songs to him. For the ones he liked, he wanted to learn the lyrics and melodies, which he did very well. In the beginning, he only spoke Italian with me and translated when I asked, if I didn’t understand something. Day by day, he started speaking more German with me. It was really nice that there were always opportunities for us to laugh together.
That also Fleck accepted me so quickly as a family member was a particularly wonderful experience.
Many thanks as well for picking me up and bringing me to the bus stop.
Thanks to our great, varied trip to Maiori and Salerno, I finally got to see the sea. The trip to the festival in Castelvetere, along with the nighttime walk through the old town, was so beautiful.
There was delicious food all the time, which I really enjoyed during our shared meals.
Especially the Italian family lunch on Sunday, including Xavier's very friendly grandfather and his aunt with her partner, was wonderful for me. I also really enjoyed the invitation to a family meal with relatives.
I found my accommodation in a room with its own bathroom and balcony very comfortable. The view of the surroundings is dreamy, and the stay in this quiet was very relaxing.
For all of this and all the other lovely moments I want to sincerely thank you. And of course for our interesting conversations, Celeste, I thank you.
You all and the feeling of great familiarity make my time with you unforgettable and broadened my horizons.
I hope that we will meet again—either in Italy or in Germany.
(I hope that Google has translated my message the way I meant it)
Best regards, Christiane

Christiane is a wonderful person and we were so lucky and happy to meet her and have her at our place! She is incredibly open minded and enjoys every little thing and moment she lives, which is something very similar to our attitude and to the spirit we try to teach our son.
She knows very much about children, so that she could help us very well … read more

I really enjoyed my time with Anir. Our time together quickly felt like a familiar experience. I found Anir's friendliness, consideration, tolerance, benevolence, and honesty very comforting.

Mornings began slowly with coffee and Anir's delicious, healthy muesli. This suited my daily routine very well. Afterwards, we were always able to discuss … read more

It was a great time together with Christiane!
I benefited a lot from her help. Christiane works very carefully, which is really nice. She did a lot of prep work, cleaning and sanding, so I was able to paint the bathroom shelves nicely. Every day I've enjoyed together a lovely tasteful healthy meal, made by 'chef' Christiane. She also did a great … read more
