It was an incredible experience volunteering for this family. The position was half the time teaching and homeschooling the kids and gardening on the property the other half. Hours are 9am-2pm with lunch with the family around 230pm usually, they make good food. It's about a hour train or bus to Madrid, which is fun to visit when you have time and Aranjuez is a really cute town. The kids are really smart and committed to learning and it was fun to come up with lessons for them.

As much as i would have loved to leave a 5-star review, i can't honestly do that. thank you to joseph and anca for opening your home to me and making separate meals for me since i don't eat pork. i really enjoyed the homemade food, their sweet children, and the week of summer camp with the kids. however, i didn't appreciate the way i and some of the other worldpackers were spoken to, and there were several miscommunications throughout the stay. i also found it disrespectful to overhear conversations about us as volunteers between the hosts. overall, it wasn't the worst but not the best.

Muchas gracias Joseph, Anca, Joe, Emma & Rebeca; I had a great cultural experience staying in your home! The kids are sweet, curious and bright, making homeschooling a joy (with a few discussions now and then of course!). Joseph and Anca are very attentive and made me feel part of the family. I worked Mon-Fri from 9 am-2 pm and could easily combine the work with online tutoring. The location near Aranjuez is beautiful, with opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, explore local history and visit Madrid. It's also a great place for practicing Spanish since Joseph and Anca have a lot of patience.

It has been a great and rewarding experience. Each week was a great challenge achieved, and being able to share the children's joy and sorrows was tremendously happy. The family provides everything necessary and more to ensure that you are calm and that each day of volunteering is enjoyable. The colleagues are very helpful with teamwork, and the experience of working with children was a real challenge. I highly recommend this volunteer program; you'll love it.

Anca and Joseph were very welcoming hosts. During our stay, we took part in a variety of tasks—from cooking traditional paella and gardening to housekeeping and teaching their wonderful children. While some instructions were occasionally a bit vague and required clarification, overall it was a great experience. They also gave us great advice on things to do in the area, which is a beautiful town. If you appreciate nature, community, and architecture, I would highly recommend this experience.
