Description
Hello! 👋
We are a small, warm, and easygoing family of three living in Bolu, a beautiful city surrounded by nature in Turkey.
Our family consists of two working parents and our 3-year-old child. Our child goes to school during the day (09:00 – 17:00), and we both have regular working hours. Because of this, our home is usually calm and organized during the day, and more social and lively in the evenings.
We would describe ourselves as friendly, respectful, and open-minded people. We enjoy simple things like spending time together, having conversations, discovering new places, and sometimes just relaxing at home.
We live in a quiet and safe neighborhood, close to nature. Our lifestyle is a mix of work, family time, and enjoying peaceful surroundings.
Hosting for us is not just about getting help — it’s about meeting new people, sharing cultures, and creating a meaningful experience for both sides. We truly enjoy learning about different cultures and perspectives.
We also understand the importance of personal space and independence. That’s why we offer a private living area and respect your time and boundaries.
If you are someone who enjoys a calm environment, family life, and genuine connections, you will feel comfortable with u.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Staying with us means experiencing real daily life in a Turkish family — not as a tourist, but as part of the home.
You will have the opportunity to:
• Experience authentic Turkish culture and traditions 🇹🇷
• Discover local food, daily routines, and family life
• Visit beautiful natural places around Bolu (forests, lakes, mountains) 🌿
• Explore nearby cities like Istanbul and Ankara
We are a social and open-minded family, and we enjoy sharing our lifestyle, conversations, and experiences. You can join us for trips, local activities, and discover places that most tourists never see.
At the same time, you will have your own space and free time to explore on your own.
If you are interested, you can also learn:
• Basic Turkish language 🗣️
• Turkish cuisine 🍳
• Local culture and traditions
We also believe that cultural exchange is mutual — we are excited to learn about your culture, your lifestyle, and your perspective on life.
This experience is about connection, sharing, and creating meaningful memories together
Help
We are mainly looking for a friendly and positive person who enjoys spending time with children and being part of a family environment.
Your main role will be to interact with our 3-year-old child in English in a natural and fun way.
This includes:
• Playing simple games
• Talking and daily interaction
• Spending relaxed and enjoyable time together
There is no formal teaching required — we prefer a natural, playful approach.
In addition, we would appreciate some light help around the house, such as:
• Simple tidying up
• Helping with small daily tasks
• Keeping shared areas organized
⏰ Time commitment:
Approximately 3–4 hours per day, flexible depending on the day.
📌 Important:
• No heavy housework
• No deep cleaning
• Just simple, shared daily responsibilities
Our child is at school between 09:00 – 17:00, so most of the help will usually be in the evenings or weekends.
We want this to feel like a cultural exchange, not a job. The most important thing for us is good energy, communication, and mutual respect.
