An amazing experience. I had 2 types of shifts, one in the morning at the hostel which is simple and takes no more than 2 hours between bedding and cleaning leaving the rest of the day free and the second as a babysitter which is longer, taking care of the boys requires patience and I recommend experience, they are very intelligent and full of energy and know their routines well but, sometimes they don't want to follow them specially at bed time . Ioanna is an excellent hostess, the communication with her is essential, she is very open to sharing with volunteers and help us 🫶🏻

Ionna is very open and a great person. I stayed at the hostel, the tasks are simple and direct. I stay at the house with the kids, who are great and full of tenderness, as Ionna and Saki are always available for communication. I truly recommend ;)

The boys are sweet, funny, and full of energy, it was fun during play time, however, they were easily angered during their bed time routine often ignoring me completely. I have experience with childcare but perhaps not enough for this position. I spent more time in the hostel which is a 2 hour task cleaning and changing sheets of up to 8 beds, but the shared space means you will be a part of the bedtime routine either way. Overall, Ioanna is a great host and gave many recommendations for things to do, cooked delicious meals, respected the schedule, and her communication was top tier.

Ioanna is a very kind and open host. The housekeeping work is very easy and chill. I made good friends and had a lot of time to visit Brussels. The only thing I'd you don't like kids, this is not for you. They can definitely be a handful sometimes, but if you like kids they can also be great and I got very attach to them by the end. Also you are sleeping in the same room as the kids and the other volunteer so you must be able to communicate your needs well. If you're fine with that then I would recommend this experience for sure!
