The Experience

I am looking for a responsible person with good energy to help with the care of my home. The tasks are simple and are carried out calmly: support in cleaning common and private areas (bedrooms, bathrooms, stairs and terraces), care of gardens and plants, help in the creation and maintenance of a small raised vegetable garden, and general organization of the dwelling. The collaboration is 5 hours per day, with breaks.

I have only words of gratitude for this experience. Almudena is an incredible person, very kind and always attentive to what you may need. Her food, besides being delicious, is very good and hearty. The space where you stay is very cozy and you have everything you need. The tasks are simple and, if you have any questions, Almudena is always there to help you. The town and the beaches are beautiful and you have quite a bit of free time to enjoy them. I take away very good memories from this experience.

Well, what can I say about the hosts—be it Almudena, Rafa, or Carlos—their treatment was friendly, which already makes you feel good from the start. As for the exchange, the housing is excellent, the food is very tasty, the work is easy and is done in fewer hours than planned, and the only thing you have to watch out for a bit is the sun when working outdoors. On top of that, Carboneras is a very quiet place with good beaches and very enjoyable. If you can go, check it out; I hope to return. GRATEFUL!

The experience was unbeatable from the very first moment, the welcome after a long trip — 10/10.
Excellent communication whenever there was something to improve.
In a month I found a family, Almudena at the helm of it all, but her husband and son helped make the moments unforgettable.
Loving, good people and companions.
Spaces to chat, laughter, and memories that I will carry with me forever from my first experience.
Just grateful to have crossed paths.

A truly beautiful and unforgettable experience. From the very first moment, Almaduena was always attentive to me and to how I felt, making me feel supported and loved at all times. Thanks to her I was able to learn a lot, not only about work and culture, but also about human warmth. Although I was very far from home, she and her family managed to make me feel at home. They gave me a lot of affection and very special moments that I will carry with me in my heart always.
Aaa, and not least, their meals are incredibly delicious.
