I arrived extremely stressed after a long travel day but immediately upon meeting Simona I felt ease. I cannot say good enough things about her. She is so easy & fun to talk to. And truly a pure being. She 100% made sure my stay was great & explained everything very clearly. I watched her children the first 2 days & the cats the entire week of my stay. The kids are super easy and sweet -mostly played on their devices when mom was away haha. And the cats are gentle and super friendly. And max upstairs is so kind!! I took daytrips to Zurich, Baden, & Lucerne which were lovely. Thank you!

I was pretty nervous before I arrived because it was my first solo trip and volunteering experience outside of my home country. But when I arrived, I felt at ease. I got a warm welcoming from Simona, her kids and the two cats - Badem and Lolo - who were adorable! The work was simple and hours respected. I had plenty of free time to walk around the neighbourhood and explore. I even got on a weekend trip to Interlaken and Bern. The family showed me a lot of kindness and warmth. Thank you for this opportunity and for having me!

This was my first experience in Worldpackers and I had a great time! Simona and her children are so sweet and they were altogether welcoming and made me feel at home. The tasks were simple and the neighbourhood was quiet and beautiful. I fully recommend this volunteer experience I had an amazing time here :)

This was my first experience with Worldpackers and I couldn't have picked anyone better than Simona. Right away I felt right at home, Simona and her children were the nicest people I've met and it was an incredible experience. Communication was excellent and Simona would always let me know what help was needed that day. Simona also always made sure I was doing okay and had everything I needed. Say yes to everything because you're going to want to experience everything! I recommend this 100%! I had the absolute best time and you will too!

It was my first experience with Worldpackers, and it honestly couldn't have been better! I felt so welcomed,the tasks were simple, and whenever something unexpected came up, we worked it out together. Simona is an amazing person: super generous, understanding, and with a huge heart. Whenever I needed something, she was always there to help with patience and flexibility. I learned a lot about Swiss culture, got to travel around, and saw even more than I had planned. The kids are lovely and easy to connect with,we played, laughed, and had so much fun together. I truly recommend this experience!❤

Volunteering at Simona's home was a truly grounding and heartwarming experience. From day one, I felt safe, welcomed, and free to be myself. Simona is transparent, respectful, and her family has a beautiful energy. Taking care of the kids was easy and enjoyable; they're independent, sweet, and fun to be around. The village of Remetschwil is quiet and surrounded by nature, perfect for those who enjoy a slower pace, and at the same time, it's well-connected.

My experience with Simona and her kids was incredible. I felt really confortable from the beginning, all the hours and days are respected as it says on the app, and one week I even had to change the days that I could work because I had to fly unexpectedly and Simona was really flexible and understanding. The position really says it all, I sometimes cooked, watched for the kids, but most of all was helping around the house with cleaning and making order. I really recommend this volunteering position!

I absolutely loved my time with Simona! From the moment I arrived, she greeted me with warmth and excitement right away at the baggage claim. This comforted all my fears immediately of traveling solo to a new Country. The upstairs apartment was clean, modern, and very spacious - an ideal home away from home. Simona went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and cared for in many ways. I highly recommend spending time with Simona and helping out with her lovely children and beautiful home. It truly was a memorable and heartwarming experience.

My two months at Simona's house were a very special time for which I am very grateful. I was warmly welcomed from the very beginning and felt at home. I spent a lot of time playing with the children and with the cat, and I laughed. I miss the beautiful Isabel (5 years old), who always came to me to show me the cat Popcorn. I also think with a lot of affection of Elaine (7 years old), with her great creativity and her wonderful dreams. David also stays in my heart – with his judo knot, his dances and his cheerful games.

Many worldpackers have been applying to this position recently. The host will probably not be able to respond to all of the applications, so we recommend that you also apply to other hosts in our community and not just this one :)
