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!

I had a very pleasant experience in this volunteer program. Ioanna is an exceptional person, always attentive and willing to help with any questions. She made sure I had everything I needed, which made me feel very comfortable. I had the opportunity to take care of her children, who are lovely and well-mannered. The tasks were simple and easy to carry out. Additionally, the hostel has an excellent location. I highly recommend this experience. Thank you, Ioanna, for everything! I hope to repeat this experience in the future.

My stay at Ioanna's house was great! The shifts were only a few hours a day which allowed me to explore the city or nearby places. Ioanna was always concerned about food since I am a vegetarian, and she made me a lot of delicious food!! I had a really good time with Ioanna and the boys, thank you!

I had an amazing time staying with Ioanna and her two boys! She is super warm and welcoming and makes you feel right at home, always ready with conversation and tips for exploring Belgium. The boys were lovely to work with, they're so sweet and full of personality, especially after they get to know you. The schedule was very flexible and well communicated, and there was plenty of free time to explore Brussels and other cities as well, and the house is also very central. Also Ioanna's cooking was delicious, and always with my allergies in mind. A massive thank you to Ioanna for everything!!😊
