Description
Hi,
We are family of 3 live in beautiful aegean coast of Izmir, Turkey.
Our home is very close to everything you might need...like bus stop, market, shop,hairdresser, parmacy , hills., seaside (all within walking distance)
The main reason that make us hosting workawayers in this period of our life is to improve our son's English and/or French skills, exposing him to the languange in the best way for a child: by playing spountaneously with people that can communicate only in English and/or French . My son is very spontaneous and full of excitement with workawayers.! My 11-year-old son needs to improve his ENGLISH and/or FRENCH BY SPEAKING, READING, WRITING. That's why we are looking for a native ENGLISH or/and native FRENCH female speaker.
My husband has his own nursery he grown plants and trees . I am not working.
We would like to share a language and cultural exchange experience with you. .
All of our guests are invited to be part of our family while they are staying with us .
While you are part of our family we will invite you to share our family experiences such as trips, visiting friends, going to beach..etc. In turn, we also ask that you share the small responsibilities to talk with my son with your language.
We are happy and easy going family looking for big sister /friend who’ll really see us as a family in another country.
We are happy to help you to experience Turkish culture, life, history, Turkish cusine, Turkish language if would you like to learn ,.
You have a chance to explore all hidden areas and also, Kuşadası, Şirince, ancient city of Efes, Cappadocia.. etc..
Looking forward to hearing from you soon ...

Hi there,
We live in IZMIR -TURKEY . With the school holidays in June, we go to the vacation house in ÇEŞME.
•Until mid June my son goes to school therefore we are in İzmir. but since Çeşme is close to İzmir, we can sometimes go on weekends during the winter months.
• I usually need your help from 6 pm to 10 pm to keep him busy speaking and playing English and/or French. Do writing and reading exercises in your mother tongue, build Lego or play chess. He likes to play with blocks, draw and use his imagination. Our son is active, creative, friendly, easily establishes a close bond between people, so he is easy to get along with. Therefore, volunteers should be cheerful, playful and talkative. and who should love hanging out with kids?
Please note:::::::: This position is not a childcare, so just watching and long silence is not needed!
•We ask you light house chores 2 days a week like vacuuming, mopping and keep the house tidy like all members.
* There may be changes in hours or changes in your days off according to your or our schedule, provided that we speak in advance. But don't worry, you can be sure you have plenty of free time to explore.
*Midde of June we will be in ÇEŞME. We usually ask you to spend 5 hours with him afternoon.
*from beginning of September we back to İzmir again because schools are starts.
