I can only say Thank you to Ioanna for being so welcoming, fun, flexible and understanding. Couldn't have asked for a better host for a home stay, had so much fun! The kids are so sweet and after they get used to you, you feel as part of the family :) Besides that, all the food I had here was homemade and so delicious! The hours were really good and the host was really open to talk about schedule and flexibility on it. Sad to leave, but happy for the time here

I had a really good time with Ioanna and the kids! The working hours were flexible and allowed me to visit the city, the house is pretty close to the center of Brussels. I loved my time there 💛

Staying at this home was fun with the two little boys and their funny remarks, especially at bedtime with 'Hush Little Baby' and 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' playing in the background – they never seem to get tired of it, and it always brings a smile to my face. Iona, our host, is simply wonderful. Her warmth and friendliness have made me feel right at home. Plus, the location couldn't be better – just a quick 20-minute walk to the city center, with easy access to other parts of the country. Thank you!! ευχαριστώ, merci. =) Best wishes to the family.

My experience was too nice, I enjoyed learning from Leo and Achillas, Ioanna makes you feel welcome and part of the family, the work is flexible but that does not mean it is not serious, taking care of children requires responsibility, energy and patience. I really learned and enjoyed this opportunity a lot. I hope to see them again 🫶🏽 Also: Ioanna cooks super delicious!!
