If you want to explore Milan and its surroundings, this is the experience for you! the home was wonderful and welcoming, and the hours were respected and the days off pre-scheduled which made it so easy to take weekend trips around. I also had so much free time during the day to explore the city. The kids are full of energy and can be a lot of work sometimes, they are very non-stop, but they are so intelligent and funny.

I had an amazing experience, it was exactly as described and a perfect first experience with world packers! The children are so smart and after homework we usually have time to play games the kids have very little screen time so they are very creative and love showing off their games, drawings or playing football. There were some issues in the beginning that were no one's fault and unavoidable that prevented me from working with the kids the first week but the home quickly came up with a solution that still respected the agreed terms! I think this is perfect for someone's first solo trip!

I enjoyed this Worldpackers experience - but fair warning that a lot of energy and enthusiasm is good to have as I definitely spent found the kids to be highly energetic and and it took me some time to learn how to best engage the children with work. However they are always happy to play which was a lot of fun! the home was very welcoming and so kind in understanding especially on one occasion when I asked to leave early.

THE BEST WORLDPACKERS EXPERIENCE I've ever had! the home and Claudio are doing an excellent job raising their children. Luchino, Lamberto and Prisci are well educated, happy and fascinating children. Caring for them thought me so much about motherhood! The boys level of english is genuinely native and Priscila understands everything in English. They receive close to zero screen time, no tv, phones - which is amazing! They play with real toys, board games, cards and have a very healthy childhood. Some times the boys cause trouble and fight - but it just requires a little patience. I loved it!!

I hold so many memories from my time with Luchino, Lamberto, and Priscilla. This was a great first experience with Worldpackers! the home is an attentive and caring person. I really appreciated how she made sure that everything balanced to 15hrs/week. With the boys it is more about assisting with homework (reading, writing, etc). They love sports so we also made time for that! The hostel accommodations were nice and the people working there were very open and friendly. My best advice is to tap into your experience with children, be communicative, and have fun! ENJOY <3

Spending two months with the home's family was a fantastic experience. the home is welcoming and always thoughtful and flexible. The hostel where I stayed was wonderful, full of kind people who made me feel at home right away. The work was exactly as described: 15 hours per week, mostly helping the kids (2, 7 and 9) with homework or spending time playing games/going outside. I never worked more than agreed, which I really appreciated. The only small downside was that the weekly schedule was sometimes shared a bit late, making planning harder. Overall, I had an amazing time and loved the experience<3

I had a wonderful experience working with and getting to know the home's family. The boys are bright and pleasant to be around. I'd recommend this opportunity to anyone who enjoys being around children and is comfortable with hostel life. The hours are exactly as stated in the description.

I'd like to say I had an amazing experience with the home and her whole family, they were welcoming and set the expectation of I should do as a volunteer, I loved the local cultural experience and how I could also contribute to their goals, the hostel was great and welcoming in many ways as well as the host during volunteer hours, I totally recommend the experience and wish them the very best for many years to come, those kids made a definite impact in my life and I felt loved by all, arrivederci amici and God bless! :)
