    Description

    We are a warm and friendly family of four living in Istanbul. Our home is located in a calm and safe neighborhood on the European side of the city. We have two lovely daughters — one is 8 years old and the other is a sweet 1-year-old baby.

    This summer, we are looking for a kind, responsible Workawayer who enjoys spending time with babies and would like to help us by playing with our youngest daughter and speaking English around the house. We believe this will be a beautiful cultural exchange experience, and we are excited to welcome someone who is open-minded and enjoys being part of a family environment.

    You will have your own private room, delicious home-cooked meals, and lots of positive moments together. We are happy to share our local culture, food, and Istanbul life with you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Staying with us means becoming part of a warm Turkish family and experiencing daily life in Istanbul. We love sharing our culture, food, values, and traditions with our guests. You will enjoy delicious homemade Turkish meals, learn about our customs and celebrations, and join in on everyday conversations and family life.

    We live in a residential complex with a swimming pool, and during the summer, we spend a lot of time outdoors and especially by the pool. You’ll have the opportunity to relax, swim, and enjoy Istanbul’s sunny days with our family — it’s a great way to bond, have fun, and make the most of your stay.

    You will also be interacting with both our children — our 8-year-old daughter who is talkative and curious, and our energetic baby girl. If you’re open to learning about Turkish culture and want to share your own background with us — especially in English — this will be a valuable and memorable experience for all of us.
