Description
Hello friends,
We are a family living in Yalova and we have been married for 11 years. We have a daughter and a son. Our daughter (Ada) is six years old and our son (Demir) is four years old. They will go to school this September, and They’ll be at school until 14.00 pm on weekdays.
I'm Anıl and I'm a Music teacher at the public school. I organize punch needle desing, workshops and if you want I would be happy to teach you. My instagram account is punchbox_tr .
My husband Çağrı is also music teacher, too. He has wood working room. We have 2 birds, Güneş & Boncuk☺️
I'm from 09.00 am to 3:00 pm on weekdays. My husband has same working hours.
In July and August we don’t need to work so we will be in the house generally.
Our house is located in the city center. Yalova is really close to İstanbul, Bursa and İznik. We have minibus for go to Yalova center (10 minutes) if you want you can use bike (15 minutes) or you can walk (30minutes)... Ferry is so close to our house only 10minutes with minibus, If we have free time, we always help our guests with our car.
First, we are looking for a bigger sister for my children who knows English fluently and is also TALKATIVE☺️ Because we hope to improve our language skills. We need a workawayer to spend time with us, especially our CHILDREN (play with them to improve their English) (2-3 hours) and do light housework. 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 meals, keep your bedroom and toilet clean. And you can cook some traditional food.
Please don't forget: NO outside guests allowed. NO drugs NO smoking.
