Amazing experience. They are so welcoming and supportive. Hours are just as described or even less sometimes because Prem is very accommodating and flexible, and she would make sure you can achieve your goals and travels. I sincerely appreciate everything they did for me. I loved worked with them and the kids are very good hearted and great kids. Both are very different and thats super good to learn from their personalities. They have many talents, and they work hard to get succeed in their activities, of course with different levels because age difference. I highly recommend them

I had a wonderful time here! Milla and Peter were very insightful and always had great recommendations on things to do in the area. The kids are super sweet and mostly well behaved (hey every kid has their meltdowns). It was a bit more than 25 hours a week between what they want to be cleaned and the child care but honestly it's worth it! They are super accommodating and willing to pick you up and drop you off as bus and train stations. It's a great place to be in nature and to really immerse yourself in the Irish countryside!

Thanks for the feedback Hanna. I'm glad you had a good time.

However I was taken back by some of your comments as everyone else has had very positive things to say.

Everyone knows small children will have their ups and downs especially when they are ill or when they argue with each other (that's part of being a kid) and that saying that my kids are 'mostly well behaved' on a public domain/website is not the best going into your next job which involves minding kids. I was very taken back by this comment. You were shown a lot of love by both of them including a beautiful hand made card by them before you left.

Also, I'd like to point out that your hours were very much within the 25 hour guidelines. We were very flexible and understanding of your hours. When it came to the morning 8 to 9am routine, it was always 8.30am or after when you began or when you asked to start later so you could go sight-seeing or when you were unable to volunteer one of the days due to being out late and was unwell the following day. When you start later, you'll finish later. Cleaning was very basic and minimal. If you had an issue with something, all you had to do was tell me and I would have easily adjusted it accordingly.

We also gave you Tuesdays off (so you could see more of ireland) as well as the designated weekends so the 25 hours of course were done over 4 days (which made those 4 volunteer days a 6 hour day). You did not however volunteer over the stated 25 hours and this comment took me by surprise as I keep note of volunteers hours.

I wish you all the best in your future travels.

Oh, how I could go on and on, so I will try to make this brief. Being here for five weeks truly gave me a new perspective and lease on life! Prem and Peter, you are absolutely amazing people! Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home. To any future backpackers, do not hesitate to apply here. You will be treated with kindness and respect. The work hours were great, and I was able to see so much of Ireland while I was here. Prem was super flexible as well. Wonderful communication, the boys are so, so sweet, and the FOOD. Omg, I'm going to miss the amazing homemade currys! Lots of love <3

Absolutely fantastic experience. The family is truly great and very well hearted. Prem and Peter are always making sure you're having a good time. Tristan's always up for playing and talking, he's an amazing kid, and Heath is a sweetheart! Tasks are nothing you wouldn't do at your own home and with your own family. You get your own private room with bathroom and food is provided. I can only recommend them and actually I'd love to come back in the future.

This month at the home was just amazing. I had the chance to get to know the culture and travel the whole country! I am truly going to miss the kids, the dogs, the house, the forests... Thank you to Prem and Peter for making this possible. They have been the kindest, most-welcoming family I have ever known. This was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life! 💚

I had a truly wonderful time. This was my first work exchange experience and I couldn't have asked for a better time— Prem, Peter, and the boys, were welcoming and kind from the get go; I felt completely, literally, always at home. Communication was clear and constant from the beginning, which makes you feel prepared and sure. I will dearly miss this family, the dogs, the fish, the Irish countryside (my forest walks!), and Prem's amazing cooking! I've run out of my allotted character count, but please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions if you're curious about this work exchange.

We had the best Christmas and New Year Holidays here in Ireland during our stay. The host is lovely, chatty and we have learned a lot of things from her, in all aspects of life. She even gave us a ride to Gorey (with lovely cafes) and Harbour Court with an amazing beach. The dogs, gosh the dogs are lovely! I'm missing them now. We would play with them outside, hang out with them by the river just at the back of the house, ferret was fun too! The house really felt like home ☺️ We had movies, kitchen was wonderful esp the spices, bedroom and showers are divine and everything was perfect!

Living with this family was just perfect. Both Milla and Peter were so welcoming and nice; they always made sure I was okay and recommended me many places to visit in the area after finishing my daily tasks. Milla is very flexible, so if you want to visit places that are a little bit farther you just have to ask ahead to organize the week with time. The kids are lovely, i really enjoyed spending time with them. Even the dogs are friendly. Thanks for this amazing weeks and making it feel like home.

It was an incredible experience. It's a beautiful family and the tasks are simple. I visited nearby places and improved my English.
