Description
I need a workawayer who could go for a walk with my 5 dogs daily and take care my 5 cats and two chickens. One of my cat is in treatment process because of a broken leg.

The house we live is in Çamlı, a village not so far from the city (Izmir). The house is single with two rooms. In the guest room there is a double bed. We have a garden for planted summer vegetables and a few trees. From the house to the city center F.Altay is 25 km., the main city center Konak is 35 km. Seaside towns like Urla and Seferihisar are 20 km. far away. Also it is on the trekking way to other villages of Güzelbahçe.

I have two chickens, five dogs, five cats for now :) I need helpers especially for animal care: feeding, cleaning and daily walking. Some of my animals need special care. There are about 20 trees, a small vegetable garden. In the summer we have to irrigate the garden almost everyday.

I cook vegetarian, but it would be so great if you also cook and eat together. I try to take care not to buy industrial products, for cleaning I use soap and vinegar.

I am photography teacher and work in Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Fine Arts. It will be pleasure to talk and maybe work together on some projects.

I would like to invite animal, nature and art lovers. It's a great pleasure for me to meet people and share experiences.

Nezaket best represents a certain philosophy or approach to life. This philosophy is characterized by an openness and radical kindness to all living things; It is a drive to spread as much positivity as possible to those around you. It is also a steady approach to life, where there is time to rest, to have a beer, and to live life "dengeli". Her… read more

Alen, a citizen of the world, is definitely someone you need to meet.

The first thing Alen did was learn the names and characters of the animals. Then he developed his own dialogue with the animals. He observed them very… read more

Usually Nezaket would ask us to complete tasks for the next day, and they were all very simple - mainly cleaning or feeding. I actually wish we had more to do. She is a very kind human and… read more
