Description
I am an engineer and my husband is a Turkish teacher, and we are a family of 3 living in the capital of Turkey, Ankara. We are in our 30ies. We raise our 2.5 year old son bilingual in Turkish and English. We love traveling, talking about Movies, books, different cultures, politics and food.
We are very understanding and agreeable people😊 The most important thing for us is mutual respect towards each other.

Help around the house
Language practice
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a very welcoming and open minded family which respects every individual.
My husband is very good at Turkish cuisine, so you can enjoy our meals.
We can teach you Turkish and talk about Turkish culture, so you can learn about Turkish hospitality.
We also can talk about world politics, books, food, science, language acquisition and the places we have gone so far and we want to go, and learn about your experiences as well.
We would be glad to show you around in your free time, if it fits with our schedule and if you prefer it.

Help
I am looking for travellers who will take care of my 2.5 year old son by talking to him a lot in their native language and help me with some chores.
Our son goes to kindergarten and so we require your assistance mostly at the weekends. 1-2 hours on the weekdays will suffice.
From the minute you arrive you will be treated as one of the family and we will also look after you as such. We hope you look after our house as if it was yours and do the chores that you would do in any place like tidying the kitchen after the meals, putting in and taking off the things of the dish washer, keeping your bedroom and toilet clean, ....).
In addition to native English speakers we prefer native French, Mandarin, Russian and German speakers with English communication skills for childcare, since we want our son to get familiar with these languages.
Our son feels more relaxed around women, so we only prefer female workawayers.
We prefer short time stays (not more than 3-4 weeks).

Accommodation
