  Description

  We are a happy family of four. I (Sultan,35) am an English teacher in a public school. My husband Aykut (37) is an electronics engineer. My daughter Zehra is ten years old. My second daughter Zeynep is seven years old.
  
  We live in the heart of Osmaniye's downtown. The temperature in this little city in southern Türkiye is consistently above 15 degrees Celsius. 🌞🌞🌞
  
  ⚠️We need workawayers to spend time with Zehra and Zeynep and help with household chores and also for cleaning. I’d also like to take workawayers to my school or my daughters’ schools. We can have lessons together or plan some activities for the students. The workawayers can make a small presentation about his/her own country, the places he/she lives, and the countries he/she has traveled to or anything they want to share. Since we’re living in a small city, it’ll be a great opportunity for the students to learn about the other people and countries.
  
  From the minute you arrive you will be treated as one of the family and we will also look after you as such. We hope you look after our house as if it was yours and do the chores that you would do in any place like tidy the kitchen after the meals, put in and take off the things of the dish washer, keep your bedroom and toilet clean, vacuum the house....
  
  We love travelling a lot. When I was studying at university, I was an exchange student in Denmark. I travelled all over Europe. In 2012 I attended a program called SWY ( The Ship for World Youth) in Japan. I visited Japan, India, Singapur,Sri Lanka thanks to this program. My husband was also an exchange student in Poland. He has been in USA for three months for work and travel programme. After we got married, we visited some European countries together (Greece, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosna, Spain). We are a travelling, open-minded, easy-going, extroverted couple. We love chatting with travel-lovers.
  
  My husband and I like to spend time in the kitchen. He is really good at cooking. You will be lucky to taste Turkish cuisine. If you are vegan or vegeterian, you are welcome to cook for yourself.
  
  🚭As we are a non-smoker and non-drinker family , we expect you not to smoke and drink at home.
  
  ✈️✈️✈️ Adana Airport is the nearest international airport. It takes nearly one and half hour from Adana to Osmaniye by bus. If you are looking for cheap international flights, you can also search Antalya or Dalaman Airport. From these airports, you can take domestic flights to Adana or nights buses to Osmaniye.
  
  🚂🚂🚂 We have a train station in Toprakkale - Osmaniye. Regional trains connect Osmaniye with Hatay, Mersin, and Adana, and vice versa. From Adana train station, there are more regional trains that go to various locations in Türkiye.
  
  🚌🚌🚌 There is a bus terminal in Osmaniye. You can find bus tickets to all the cities in Türkiye. obilet.com/en is a website to search for bus tickets.
  
  P.S. We only can host people with a valid health insurance.
  It would be good if you send us a copy of your passport on arrival.
