  Description

  We are a warm, young and dynamic family of four. I am a university professor, and my spouse is a managing attorney. Our daughter is 11 years old, and our son is 6. We are an active, social family who enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, and discovering new places and cultures.
  
  We would love to welcome you into our home as a “big sister” to support our children in improving their English (and possibly Italian) during the 1–2 months we will be staying either at our home in Çekmeköy, Istanbul, or at our summer house in Milas, Muğla.
  
  Your main role will be to spend time with the children through fun and engaging activities such as playing games, having daily conversations, reading books, and doing simple interactive activities, sometimes individually and sometimes together. Our children already speak English, so the focus is on naturally improving fluency and confidence.
  
  As a family, we are friendly, respectful, and easygoing. I will be around most of the time during the summer, so you will always have support and guidance if needed. You will have your own private room and bathroom, and wifi (of course). Our home has a swimming pool and a large garden, and you are free to explore the city in your free time. We would also be happy to show you around and include you in some of our outings and trips if you like. We enjoy home-cooked meals and a relaxed family atmosphere. You are welcome to cook and eat as you wish, and we are always happy to share meals.
  
  What we expect:
  We expect around 4–5 hours per day, 5 days a week, focused only on spending quality time with the children. There are no housekeeping duties, as we already have household help. Your role is to engage with the children through daily conversations, games, and fun activities in English (and ideally Italian). Since we are planning to move to Rome next year, improving both their English and Italian language skills is very important for us.
  
  We would also be happy to show you around and include you in some of our outings and trips if you like. We can also take you to places you would like to see in Istanbul or nearby—this would be a pleasure for us as well.
  We are looking for someone kind, communicative, and who genuinely enjoys spending time with children.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Our place has a pool and is close to transportation routes, so we can easily explore the city. Also we love to show you around . Even though there won't be many students in the summer, you can visit my university and meet some students.
  In September, the kids will be in school, so you can explore different places during the day.
  Feel free to let me know if you need any further adjustments!
