The Experience

We seek a kind and gentle individual, who doesn't necessarily have to be a native English speaker, to join our family as a linguistic and cultural educator/au pair for our twins. We are raising them in a multilingual environment and aim to expose them to as many languages as possible. The boys have a full-time nanny so you won't be alone with them. They are very active children. It's important to note that we're NOT just looking for a babysitter

It was a lovely experience spending time with Elena, her family, and the kids I was fortunate enough to meet in Ukraine. Elena is such a kind and considerate teacher, mom, and friend to me. She treated me not as an outsider from the first day I arrived, but like her family. She would check in to see if I was doing okay or if the classes were going as I expected. I didn't hesitate to reach out to her for help anytime given how helpful she was. I highly recommend this the the school to people who want to volunteer as an English instructor and make an impact on the education in Ukraine.

My stay with Olena and her family was wonderful. She went beyond any expectations. Working hours were easy and adaptable to my skill and plans. Food was 10/10 in quality and quantity everyday thanks to Babushka. The location is great, and the family were extremely friendly and open in suggesting places to visit, activities and in helping if any scheduling or travel issues arose. Olena encouraged practicing languages and engagement all the time and her entire family welcoming. Olena could not do more to make the experience more comfortable and worry-free.

Volunteering at Vyshenky the school was one of the most heartwarming experiences I've ever had. From the very first day, I felt at home, surrounded by kind, welcoming people who made me feel like family. Teaching English to the kids not only allowed me to give, but also helped me discover a new part of myself: a genuine love for working with children. I left with a full heart and a deep sense of connection. I would gladly do it all over again.

Teaching at the the school has been a fantastic experience, a brilliant way to experience true Ukrainian hospitality, and volunteer in a meaningful way. Elena and her family are wonderful people, they're characterful hosts, who'll treat you like members of their own family. The work itself isn't terribly difficult especially if you have some experience, and you will be supported if you're unfamiliar with teaching. The kids are great, and you have a lot of freedom to build lessons how you wish. I would highly recommend it to anyone, thank you so much for everything!

Elena and her family are absolutely lovely. I've learned a lot about different cultures and shared many heartwarming experiences living with them. The students were mostly very respectful and eager to communicate with a foreigner like me. It was such a wonderful memory in a country full of both joy and sorrow. I highly recommend it.
