It was more than an experience for me! I had wonderful time here. Ioanna and Sakis were always helpful and supportive since the first day. I genuinely felt like a part of their daily life, we shared memories, we laughed, and I felt lucky to be here at this part of my life. Totally recommended for everyone!

This was my second time volunteering with Joanna, and she is truly the best host ever! She teaches everything clearly, respects the agreed hours, and is excellent at communication. Thanks again for another great experience!

I had an amazing experience here! This was my first volunteering experience and I loved it so much that I applied twice. Ioanna is an incredible host. She communicates very well and is always there when you need help. She also gives great recommendations on places to visit in Belgium. The kids are super curious and ask lots of questions. You find a nice balance between having fun, playing with them, and giving them attention. I got along really well with the other volunteers and the atmosphere felt like home. Plus, Ioanna cooks delicious food! :)

I really enjoyed my month here! Ioanna is a fantastic host, she is direct and straightforward in her communication, which I truly appreciated because it made everything run smoothly. She's always ready to find solutions and to meet us volunteers halfway when it's possible. I made wonderful friends with the other volunteers and the warm atmosphere made me feel at home. Regarding the tasks, having a bit of childcare experience definitely helps. With the kids is all about striking the right balance between being fun and engaging while maintaining boundaries and earning their respect.

Everything was great. Ioanna was kind, helpful, supportive, and easy to communicate with, and she was always there when I needed help. The tasks were simple, clear, and didn't take much time, so I had plenty of time to explore Belgium. Thank you a lot and good luck :)
