The Experience

I am a single dad from Cyprus with a shared custody of a 3 year old boy. I am looking for a volunteer that loves children to be part of our family at our beach house in Larnaca. I have the baby 2-3 days a week and the baby attends a kindergarden 5 mins away from home. I work from home and I am on call 24/7. The child is the sweetest 3 year old boy, not difficult to be with and well mannered.

My experience with Chris and Julio is ongoing, so I'll share a more detailed review later. Chris is very welcoming and ensures comfort (food, bike, private room) for a smooth stay. This experience is ideal if you're patient, creative, and flexible. Caring for Julio is about bonding with him and creating engaging activities, not just supervision. A 30-minute bus ride connects you to the city center. Chris shares Cypriot culture, food, and local spots. He's attentive and accommodating. A unique opportunity for introspection, where solitude can be both a challenge and a path to self-growth.

Christos is an excellent host, always attentive and respectful, making sure you have everything you need. His family is lovely, and their baby is adorable. I felt at home, explored many beautiful places, and enjoyed delicious local food. I highly recommend this experience. Thank you for everything. I'll miss you all!

Christos was a very warm and welcoming host! The tasks were discussed before arriving and were always respected. Julios is a sweet little boy- he is easy to play with and be around. I enjoyed speaking with Christos about life, goals and the culture in Cyprus. I learned a lot. His house is beautiful, very clean and he often cooks traditional Cypriot dishes for you to try. I felt at home here and would definitely recommend it to other travelers. There is a bus that takes you to larnaca just a 5 min walk from the house. And from Larnaca you can visit the other cities on the island by bus.

Christos was an exceptional host, it was my first experience on Worldpackers, and he definitely made it a good one. His baby is also easygoing, making the work aspect of the trip very enjoyable and comfortable. He made me feel welcomed in his home, taking me to places around Cyprus which I really appreciated. Also letting me have time to hang out with friends. I really enjoyed staying at his place and babysitting his son for a month - 100% recommend

She has been respectfull of our home and very helpfull around the house helping me with house chores.
All in all, I could never hope for a better first experience hosting a volunteer with Worldpackers.
Thank you Sophia!
