I honestly have no words to describe how welcome I felt and how special my time at Ioanna's house with the boys was. They are such adorable kids, playful, sweet, and easy to be around and every moment we spent together truly meant a lot to me. I'm so grateful for everything, even though my stay was short, it felt meaningful in every way. Ioanna, the host, was always making sure I felt comfortable and happy in so her home. From the very beginning until the last moment, she truly went out of her way to make my stay wonderful, and I really felt at home. Thank you 🩷 hope see you guys soon!!

It was an incredible experience! The kids are sweet and smart. The tasks are clear and mostly involve helping with the care of the children, including putting them to sleep at bedtime. There are moments of crying, screaming and running, but it's just children being children. Ioanna is kind. This was the first time a volunteer stayed at Dionysios' house (the kids' father) and everything went great. Both are excellent hosts and very attentive, always doing their best to make me feel welcomed and at home. Dionysios cooks very well and makes delicious drinks. I totally recommend the experience!!!

I had an amazing time staying with Joanna for 10 days on my own. She showed me the ropes and trusted me from day one, giving me plenty of freedom to explore and enjoy the local culture. As a first-timer, I loved the experience and would definitely recommend it!

I recommend this volunteering 100%! Ioanna is an amazing host, super friendly and communicative... The children are very nice, quiet and also have their things because they are still children, but it is a super easy job, which requires patience and responsibility! If you want to live a comfortable and quiet experience in Brussels, this is your place :)

I spent two weeks in Ioanna's house, I liked the experience. Localization it's nice and it's possible to go to places walking. The activities in the hostel are easy and fast to make. As babysitter, Leonidas and Achilleas are nice and funny children. Thank you for this experience!
