I felt immediately very welcomed at Judit's house. I mostly helped out with cleaning the dishes and of course watching the adorable kids. Levi and Leo are very very kind kids and it was hard to say goodbye to them. Judit always let me know when she needs me and I still had plenty enough time to explore the town. You can go to cool places around her house :) I am grateful for the experience. Oh and Judit is a very good chef!

Had an amazing time here, and I felt really integrated into their family. I was here over Christmas and New years and had a great time celebrating with them all. Judit is a great host and cook, Leo and Levi are really lovely polite boys and I really enjoyed my time looking after them. It didn't really feel like much work at all. Had lots of free time to explore the local area. Highly recommend volunteering here

A truly unforgettable experience . I am beyond grateful for my time with Judith. After six months of travelling, her home became a place where I felt truly at ease — like finding the comfort of home without actually returning. Judith is an exceptional host, and Levi and Leo are such kind, bright, and easy-going kids. My time there never once felt like “work”; it felt like contributing, connecting, and being welcomed as part of the family. Having so much free time allowed me to unwind, and her cooking made me never want to leave. It was hard to say goodbye, and I will really miss this family.

The family was incredibly kind and open! The children welcomed me so warmly, even though we hadn't met before. The mother was very caring. It was a really lovely the home, and it didn't feel like work at all.
