“Working with the Value family was such an amazing experience. Living in a new place can be intimidating, but Scott and Chloe welcomed me and made me feel right at home. I loved taking care of Echo and getting to see her grow and learn new things each day. I felt fortunate to play a small part in such a precious time of her life.The work-trade was a great opportunity to travel to and explore beautiful Kauai. I will cherish the memories and friendship with the Value family for the rest of my life! “

“My month spent with Chloe, Scott and Echo was amazing. They were such a thoughtful and fun host family. The home was clean and comfortable. They took the time to show me some beautifully unique beaches, trails and experiences around the island. They also offered suggestions of places to explore on my own. They shared with me about the rich history and culture of the island. It was a joy to spend my days with Echo too. She is the bravest and sweetest little girl who loves exploring outdoors. I hope to have the opportunity to visit again!”

“Lucky me to have spent a glorious month with Chloe, Scott and adorable Echo. It was a unique opportunity for me to be near my family and not have to pay a fortune to stay in Kauai. The private room was perfect for privacy and the family was easy and comfortable in the shared space. Chloe and I hit it off from day one. Little Echo was clearly a happy little child who captured my heart almost immediately. The experience for me was absolutely more enjoyable than I anticipated. I would do it again if the timing worked out for me. Sometimes in life you take a leap of faith and it turns out to be magical. That’s what happened to me!”

“Hi I'm Laurène, I'm from France and I've spent 5 weeks with Chloe, Scott and Echo.
This family is the sweetest that I've ever met, I felt welcome from day one.
During those few weeks I've had the opportunity to discover the whole Island both on my own and with the family.
Echo is an adorable and very smart 2 year old who loves to go outside. She has a night routine that works very well for her.
I've had an incredible time here and I cannot recommand enough this family to stay and explore Kauai with.”

“I had the blessing of crossing paths with the Value family for a few days while they were vacationing in South Lake Tahoe. The whole family was extremely welcoming & made me feel at home while babysitting Echo in their condo. Upon arrival, Chloe had a handwritten schedule as well as precooked food for Echo that made my life easier. Chloe is a great communicator when it comes to explaining Echo’s routine and keeping in touch with me. Echo has a smile & laugh that is never ending; she loved being outdoors & exploring in the snow with me! Additionally, Echo is great at communicating her needs which is rare for most 2 year olds. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend this family to anyone for long or short term! »

“Staying with the Value family had enriched my time on Kauai. They welcomed me whole heartedly and the holidays spent with the family was so sweet. Following Echo’s schedule was easy and like any toddler she benefits from routine. She loves to sing, swim and be outdoors. It was so nice to have time in the morning and weekends to explore the island having the north shore as home base and then play all evening with Echo. I couldn’t have asked for more lovely hosts or a better experience."

"Chloe, Scott, and Echo have built the cutest little life on Kuaui! I'm so thankful for my experience being in there home. They welcomed me with open arms and still allowed for me to have my own freedom to explore the island. They were great guides directing me where the best places to spend my time were. I got to see everything I wanted and more! Their little girl is so adorable and fun. She loves to be outside and exploring. She's very easy going and easy to connect with. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone wanting to see the beautiful island."

" Chloé, Scott and Echo were sooo welcoming, kind and fun. I had the best time on Kauai with them! They made sure I saw everything I wanted on the island and recommended places I should go. Whenever the car was unavailable, they made sure to offer me rides so I could still explore new places. I loved talking and laughing with Chloe before she went to work. Echo is adorable and I loved spending my afternoons with her. She knows what she wants/needs and communicates it really well, which makes everything easier. I would 100% come back and I recommend this experience! "

"This was such an amazing experience! It allowed me to spend so much time outside, and really enjoy nature. There were so many beaches in close proximity and the property around the house was just gorgeous. Chloe and Scott were so so welcoming and their daughter, Echo, was so sweet and VERY smart. If given the chance I would most definitely come back!! I miss all of them already!"

“My time on island was one that I will never forget. I had a very hectic last five years and wanted time to reflect and heal and that's exactly what I got. Scott and Chloe are amazing and pushed me to get out and try new things. The island is beautiful and I got to have a car to explore with! Echo is precious! She is so smart and aware of her feelings. I loved my time with her baking, playing at the park, and having dance parties. These last two months with the home were the best of my life. I'm so blessed to have been given this opportunity and I'd love to go back someday. ❤️ I love you guys”
