Description
Hi, we are a little family of three and live in an apartment in Istanbul, Turkiye. My husband and I work all day, so we need a friend to company for our dear boy, 8 years old, after school. Our home locates in a quite place in downtown which is not common for a very big and touristic metropolis. It is 800 meters to the metro station. Bus stop and taxi cap is just front of the building. It is very easy to go to all touristic sites, museums, Bosporus, elegant shopping malls and variety of coffees and restaurants.

Help
We need volunteer to take care of our boy after school. After the meal you prepare together, you may play games, read books, draw pictures. It will be enough 2 hours a day the most of the weekdays. I need more help for just 1 day a week. This means that you are totally free all day until 4 pm., which is the best time of the day to visit historical places and travel in Istanbul during the week days.
Cleaning the apartment and cooking dishes are two common daily or weekly activities because we share the same apartment. So they don't count for volunteer activities.Languages spoken
English: Fluent
Accommodation
We offer a seperate room and shared bathroom, kitchen and living room. We provide food and unlimited internet access.
What else ...
Istanbul is one of the beautiful cities in the world. The cultural heritage of Istanbul is so deep-rooted and so intense, that history erupts from almost everywhere in the city. Istanbul is like a treasure chest, which you will never be able to explore fully. It has a history of 8,500 years and hosts many cultures during the history. And Istanbul lives all day! Fun and excitement is never gone! If you visit historical and cultural places, we support you about where and how to go.
University of Bosporus, Istanbul Technical University, Galatasaray University and Istanbul University places among the most successful schools in world every year. So you may think to continue your education or participate in special art/philosophy/computer programming/music etc. seminar programs for a semester or year.
Istanbul Modern Art Museum, Sabanci Museum, Pera Palace Museum, Koç Industry Museum, Istanbul Archaeological Museum and many others offer not only their exhibitions but also a lot of special programs to be part of them.A little more information
