The Experience

I have a vacation home with 8 bedrooms, and one of them will be available to two volunteers, so there will be only seven single rooms. Therefore, I would like help organizing and cleaning the house, washing the linens when necessary, and handing over the keys. There are a few houseplants and my two pets in the house.

Volunteering with Ruthe was an incredible experience! She is an extremely organized, practical, clear about everything she asks for and very easy to work with. In addition to being a very kind, understanding and flexible person, she creates a very light and pleasant work environment. The beds are super comfortable, which guarantees a great rest. I highly recommend Ruthe as a host for any volunteer. It is definitely an excellent experience in São Paulo!

My experience at Ruth's house was very positive. Over about a month and a half I was doing painting and maintenance, where the tasks were kind and in line with what was agreed. I highlight Ruth's flexibility regarding schedules and days off, as well as her empathy and kindness. She was always open to dialogue. Regarding the house, its location is excellent, everything is nearby. For those who enjoy working out, there is a gym right across the street. I felt very comfortable, I always slept very well and I was able to connect and make friends with the other volunteers. I highly recommend this experience! Thanks, Ruth!

Staying in this space has been wonderful. My stay would end on 10/07. Ruthe invited me to extend my stay, and that was only possible thanks to the harmony of the environment. The agreements made and kept by both parties up to this moment regarding tasks, shifts, and breaks make my stay an experience that will remain in my fond memory.

It was a very good experience, I really liked the hostess, she helps volunteers a lot with whatever they need. The work hours are very flexible, making it possible to work and study. The house is very clean and comfortable, and Ruth is getting even better. The neighborhood is also very nice, near Liberdade Metro and São Joaquim. There is good commerce nearby: pharmacies, a market, a bank, a gym, and buses to various places. Very good there.
