  Description

  We are a family with 2 kids aged 8 & 3 and a dog settled in Istanbul and having our holidays in our seaside house in beautiful Bodrum. We live in 2 storey house with a garden in an elegant and stunning resort with a private beach in Yalıkavak which is known for its marina and beaches. We think it would be great for the kids to have a workawayer who plays with them and help them practise English. We would be happy to accompany you while you exploring this wonderful area and also happy to let you free in your private hours enjoying the sun and the sea and this historical, beautiful peninsula.

  Help

  Our kids are 8 and 3 years old. Bade the eldest enjoys music, likes playing the piano, playing with her dog and swimming. Bade attends online schooling until 4 pm on weekdays. Ali is a happy and energetic little boy who loves animals, swimming and playing with sand. We request the workawayer have creative time with them, help them practice English, have fun together. Workawayer needs to be experienced looking after toddlers but doesn't have to take sole care of 2 at the same time. Hours can be arranged like 2 or 3 hours before noon with the younger one while Bade is taking online schooling and 2 or 3 hours with Bade after 4 pm. So you can have all afternoon for yourself. We have a housekeeper living with us so you don't have to do cleaning and cooking but just being tidy all around the house.

  Workawayer can enjoy the sandy beach just a stone away or go and explore the city. There are a lot of beautiful natural sites to see in Bodrum and many beaches to visit during your time off.
