I loved my time in Talpe with Judit, Leo, Levi, Yoda, & Kitty. Judit makes delicious food, Leo (10) & Levi (3) are really sweet boys and good listeners. The work mostly consisted of childcare and light cleaning. Tons of fun beach days with the family, and tons of meeting other expats! The beach is about a 20 minute walk away. The jungle is in the backyard and you can see tons of peacocks, iguanas (lol) and other cool wild life. Fully equipped kitchen you can use whenever you want! Very amazing place! Judit, thank you so much for everything ❤️ you are an amazing mother and person

My the home with Judit and the boys has been absolutely amazing! They all welcomed me into their family from the first second and continuously treated me with so much love and kindness. Judit is super easygoing and flexible and at the same time such a strong and inspiring woman. She went out of her way to make sure I always had all I could possibly need to be happy, and her food is truly incredible! Leo and Levi are such sweet and clever boys and spending time with them brought me so much joy. They grow on you very quickly and it was so hard to say goodbye. I already miss them so much💕

Her two kids Leo and Levi are so lovely as well. Spending time with them really didn't feel like work and I loved every second and am so sad to leave. Thank you for everything I will miss you guys!! 💞✨️

This experience was amazing! Judit made me feel at home from the very first moment,even before I arrived by giving me advice on which buses to take and even allowing me to arrive at the villa a day earlier and her Rice and Curry?!The best I've tried on the island so far! What can I say about Leo and Levi? It's hard to find children who are more lovely, affectionate, polite, and fun. Spending time with them never felt like work, only pure joy. The house's strategic location and the amount of free time you have allow you to comfortably explore the entire Golden Coast. I miss them <3
