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💕

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

I felt immediately very welcomed at Judit's house. I mostly helped out with cleaning the dishes and of course watching the adorable kids. Levi and Leo are very very kind kids and it was hard to say goodbye to them. Judit always let me know when she needs me and I still had plenty enough time to explore the town. You can go to cool places around her house :) I am grateful for the experience. Oh and Judit is a very good chef!

Had an amazing time here, and I felt really integrated into their family. I was here over Christmas and New years and had a great time celebrating with them all. Judit is a great host and cook, Leo and Levi are really lovely polite boys and I really enjoyed my time looking after them. It didn't really feel like much work at all. Had lots of free time to explore the local area. Highly recommend volunteering here

A truly unforgettable experience . I am beyond grateful for my time with Judith. After six months of travelling, her home became a place where I felt truly at ease — like finding the comfort of home without actually returning. Judith is an exceptional host, and Levi and Leo are such kind, bright, and easy-going kids. My time there never once felt like “work”; it felt like contributing, connecting, and being welcomed as part of the family.
Having so much free time allowed me to unwind, and her cooking made me never want to leave. It was hard to say goodbye, and I will really miss this family.

The family was incredibly kind and open! The children welcomed me so warmly, even though we hadn't met before. The mother was very caring. It was a really lovely the home, and it didn't feel like work at all.

I had a fantastic experience here. My plan was to get experience the culture and enjoy the nature here and to get my open water diver certificate. I was able to do all that, thanks to Judit who helped me achieve my dream. I'm glad I got to dive around here. Judit is a great cook. So far I have not eaten better food like I had in Sri lanka. The kids are so lovely. It's amazing hearing her story and how she's been able to help travellers. I like to joke that she's more of help to travelers than we are to her. She gives all her heart and makes sure you are comfortable and enjoying yourself.
