Details

• 

  Description

  We are a happy family of three. I am a single mum with two lovely daughters. I (Emine,38) am an English teacher in a public school. My daughter Zehra is eight years old. My second daughter Zeynep is six years old.
  
  We live on the 5th floor of a 6-storey apartment building with elevator in the heart of Adana city center. The temperature in this nice city in southern Türkiye is consistently above 20 degrees Celsius. 🌞🌞🌞 You can easily walk to the swimming pool, supermarkets, cafes, and a big park.
  
  ⚠️We need FEMALE workawayers to spend time with Zehra and Zeynep and help with household chores , cooking, and also for cleaning. I’d also like to take workawayers to my school and 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. They can arrange some traditional children games from their countries. 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 and mop the house....
  
  🚭As we are a non-smoker and non-drinker family , we expect you not to smoke and drink at our properties.
  
  
  🪙 We have a coin and fridge magnet collection, and we'd love to add a coin and a magnet from your country to our collection or any souvenirs from your country. You don’t have to bring anything btw if you don’t want to 🤗
  
  ✈️✈️✈️ Çukurova Airport (COV) is the nearest international airport. There is a shuttle bus from Çukurova airport to Adana.
  
  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.

  We would be really happy if you could spend at least one hour with the kids separately every day. You can help Zehra with her homework and play with Zeynep. They have their own rooms.
  
  Girls are interested in learning to new board games. It would be great if you have skills in these areas.
