The Experience

We are a cozy small family (me and my super kind and receptive 6y boy) living in Lisbon. I work at office daily and need help to have fun with him daily and help with some home tasks. We would love to receive a communicative easygoing person who has a healthy lifestyle and with whom we can share nice experiences in Lisbon. Our guest will have all day free to also enjoy time alone ;)

Being with Marie and Arthur was super nice~ It was a good experience to take care of a little kid for longer than I used to and the house chores were okay. Marie explained everything and helped me when I had questions or had an idea to improve a task. Arthur is a very caring kid and easygoing, just like any other kid, you just need to talk and be patient so I learned a lot from him :) The neighborhood is great as well and has many locals so it was a great opportunity for me to live a little bit of the Lisbon life. Wishing them both the best!

Marie is wonderful. I really enjoyed the time I spent with her and her little boy ( Arthur- that said NO, to me all the time. ) So I taught Arthur how to say No Thank -you. And he learned it. Marie took us to the beach every day. I have made a lifetime bond with this beautiful family and I wish her all the luck in the future.

You teached him: No, thank you and Yes, please! And he learned and do it all the time ;) Thank you and good luck with everything :)

Minha experiência com o intercâmbio voluntário em "a casa" foi boa. A anfitriã Marie é muito gentil e simpática e seu bebê Arthur é uma criança maravilhosa. Conheci um pouco da cidade de Lisboa. Infelizmente por motivos inesperados e alheios a minha vontade e de minha anfitriã, o intercâmbio precisou ser cancelado e interrompido antes da data prevista para o término. O que impossibilitou uma maior vivência e melhor experiência do meu primeiro voluntariado. A anfitriã Marie e seu bebê Arthur...e a equipe da Worldpacker, minha gratidão pela oportunidade.

Fabiene was very proactive and kind with us. I really recommend her skills with children. Thank you for all support and understending for the unpredictable change of plans. Wish you success. Kind regards, Marie

Uma das melhores experiências a nível pessoal, aprendi e lembro-me muito de estar em contacto com uma criança e adoro estar com o ARTUR. ele é super amor, é difícil no início habituar-se a estar com alguém que não seja a sua mãe, mas ele é como todas as outras crianças, ele carrega o seu poceso de adaptação. Marie, a tua mãe vai ajudar-te da forma que puder.
