I hold so many memories from my time with Luchino, Lamberto, and Priscilla. This was a great first experience with Worldpackers! the home is an attentive and caring person. I really appreciated how she made sure that everything balanced to 15hrs/week. With the boys it is more about assisting with homework (reading, writing, etc). They love sports so we also made time for that! The hostel accommodations were nice and the people working there were very open and friendly. My best advice is to tap into your experience with children, be communicative, and have fun! ENJOY <3

Spending two months with the home's family was a fantastic experience. the home is welcoming and always thoughtful and flexible. The hostel where I stayed was wonderful, full of kind people who made me feel at home right away. The work was exactly as described: 15 hours per week, mostly helping the kids (2, 7 and 9) with homework or spending time playing games/going outside. I never worked more than agreed, which I really appreciated. The only small downside was that the weekly schedule was sometimes shared a bit late, making planning harder. Overall, I had an amazing time and loved the experience<3

I had a wonderful experience working with and getting to know the home's family. The boys are bright and pleasant to be around. I'd recommend this opportunity to anyone who enjoys being around children and is comfortable with hostel life. The hours are exactly as stated in the description.

My experience My experience working with the home was so great! The boys and the little girl and so sweet, the hours are reasonable and the hostel is also a great ambiance. When I was sick, the home was generous and flexible with my hours, and I couldn't ask for better hosts! Thank you so much the home and Claudio!

I'd like to say I had an amazing experience with the home and her whole family, they were welcoming and set the expectation of I should do as a volunteer, I loved the local cultural experience and how I could also contribute to their goals, the hostel was great and welcoming in many ways as well as the host during volunteer hours, I totally recommend the experience and wish them the very best for many years to come, those kids made a definite impact in my life and I felt loved by all, arrivederci amici and God bless! :)

This time was a blessing for me. I'm grateful for this family and their love and respect. The boys are special boys. If you have worked with kids before I recommend reaching out. Thank you :)

I loved working for the home! This was my first WP experience and the home was more than accommodating. She did so many kind gestures for me and was so sweet and personable! There were a couple of times that I needed additional help with babysitting (the kids are so great but can be a bit tough sometimes) and she was more than helpful in navigating that and ensuring that I felt comfortable. I could not have asked for a better first experience and host and I wish the home and the kids my best ❣️

The home was a wonderful host! She sets realistic expectations with volunteering and is very responsive to concerns during the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with the boys. They are very energetic, so there is never a boring day with them. The time commitment with the experience is excellent for anyone looking to travel across Italy! The hostel I stayed in was a memorable experience. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, so this is a great opportunity to make friends along the way! I will certainly miss the time I spent with the family and the hostel.

What an amazing experience volunteering with the home was! Her children lam and luc are so lovely and full of life and energy! They always want to play, usually football. You don't work many hours so you have lots of time to explore Milan, and travel to other places in Italy on days off! The hostel you stay at has lovely staff who make you feel welcome. I would definitely recommended this to any traveller ! :)

Volunteering with the home has been a wonderful experience! Her children Luchino and Lamberto are incredibly energetic and excitable children! My time with Lamberto has been wonderful. The hours give you plenty of time to explore the city, working with the boys will be rewarding, and all of the hostel staff are very welcoming.
