Description
Hello Workawayers! We are a friendly, open-minded family of four living in Bursa, the 4th largest city in Türkiye, known for its history, nature, and delicious food. Bursa is close to İstanbul.
I am an English teacher, I work from 09.00 am to 16.00 pm on weekdays. My husband Coşkun is a computer engineer. He works from 9.00 am to 19.00 pm. And we have two joyful children who love meeting new people from different cultures. They are at school all day. I leave home with my kids and come back with them at 16.30 pm. We have a babysitter but now she helps us with cooking and laundry. She comes home at 8.30 am and leaves at 12 pm. She has been helping us for 5 years.
We enjoy hosting international guests because it allows us to share our culture while giving our kids the chance to hear different languages and broaden their worldview.
We are looking for a bigger sister for my children who speaks English fluently and plays with them. And also can talk with us and share culture.
Please DON'T FORGET : no pets no drugs no smoking and no outside guests.

Accommodation
During your stay, you will be staying in our daughter’s room, which we prepare as a comfortable and private guest room for Workawayers. While we host guests, our daughter happily uses her sibling’s room, so the space becomes fully yours. The room includes a cozy bed, fresh linens, Wi-Fi, a wardrobe, and everything you may need for a pleasant stay. We want our guests to feel welcome and relaxed, just like part of the family.
