I enjoyed this! There's definitely a culture shock. The food is extremely different, and ants are a part of everyday life. The mom is very nice and understanding, she was flexible when I had to run some errands in Hanoi. The kids are great, the girl is quiet but more outgoing as she gets comfortable with you. The boy is very energetic and outgoing. He can struggle to appropriately express emotions when he's upset, like when he keeps getting something wrong or loses. He knows more than he shows though, just needs a teacher who thinks outside of the box. All in all I'd highly recommend this!

I really enjoyed my time with this family. They were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable from day one. Helping the two kids with English was fun and rewarding, and they were a joy to be around.
It was a great cultural exchange and a positive volunteering experience overall. I would definitely recommend staying with this family

I loved this experience!! Sherry and her family are all such kind, open-minded, welcoming and loving people, who made me feel like home! :)
Working hours were so relaxing. When Nana came back home from school, we always played together and sometimes learned English with a book.
In my free time, Sherry took me to see some temples or the city. Or I could just relax on my own :)
Accommodation was so nice, I had my own room and my own bathroom.
I had an amazing time here, thank you sooo much! <3
