    Description

    We are a small and friendly family living in Turkey . We have a 5-year-old child and we are looking for a kind, responsible and positive person who enjoys spending time with children and speaking English with them.

    Our main goal is to help our child improve English in a natural and fun way through daily communication, games, and simple activities.

    We live in a peaceful area, close to nature . We have summerhouse in Iznik area near İstanbul , you can swim in lake&pool , cycling and playing tennis . Our home has a small garden and a beautiful view sea small lake . The volunteer will have a private room and their own bathroom.

    We expect around 3-4 hours of help per day, mainly:
    - speaking and playing with our child in English
    - light help around the house (tidying up, simple daily tasks)

    We offer accommodation, healthy home-cooked meals, and a warm, respectful family environment.

    We prefer someone who:
    - enjoys being with children
    - speaks English clearly
    - is clean, respectful and responsible

    We are not expecting professional childcare or heavy housework. This is a cultural exchange experience where both sides can learn from each other.

    We would be happy to welcome someone who wants to experience Turkish culture and family life.

    After summer ,if we get along well, we can invite you to our home in Istanbul . we have very beautiful house has sea view in Istanbul in Kadıköy area .

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Iznik is a unique and peaceful town with a rich cultural and historical background.

    It is known for its ancient city walls, historical mosques, and its importance in early Christianity. The town is located by a beautiful lake where you can swim, relax, and enjoy nature, especially in the summer.

    You can experience authentic Turkish daily life here, including local markets, traditional food, and a slower, more relaxed lifestyle compared to big cities.

    There are also opportunities for cycling, walking by the lake, and exploring nearby villages.

    During your stay, you will have the chance to:
    - experience Turkish culture and hospitality
    - taste homemade traditional meals
    - enjoy nature, the lake, and peaceful surroundings
    - learn about the historical and religious significance of the area

    Iznik is perfect for someone who wants a calm, cultural, and nature-oriented experience.

    We will also go Istanbul and Bursa (both are very nearby takes 1 hour by car ) 3-4 days in July and August if you want and show you historical places or what you are interesting
