Description
**Position Update: Seeking a Responsible and Adaptable Companion or couple for Fall 2024**
Hello, future Workawayer!
We are a friendly family of three—myself, my wife Gulfem, our lovely daughter Eva, and our sweet cat Fairuz. We are looking for a motivated and caring individual to join us as a volunteer.
What We Need Help With:
- Childcare & Education: Eva is a bright and curious child, and we need some extra hands to help with childcare and educational activities.
- House Chores: General upkeep around the house to keep things running smoothly.
- Bnb Management: We have three Bnb flats that require check-ins, check-outs, and cleaning.
What We Offer:
- Private Room: You'll have your own comfortable room to relax in.
- Meals: We’ll provide you with meals during your stay.
- Cultural Experience: Experience life with a local family and get to know the area.
Requirements:
Experience or interest in childcare and education. Important: Eva will homeschool 2024-2025
Ability to manage basic house chores.
Familiarity with Bnb and cleaning tasks is a plus.
Social media skills for announcements and updates are highly desirable.
If you’re a positive, enthusiastic, independent person who enjoys being part of a family environment, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out and tell us a bit about yourself and your experience. We’re excited to meet you!
Warm regards,
Miko, Gulfem, Eva, and Fairuz 🐾
**Important Note:**
Under no circumstances should you open our house to any person, guest, friend, or family visitor without our explicit permission in our absence.
**Family Dynamic:**
Our warm home comprises Eva, our vibrant 6,5-year-old daughter, and Fairuz, our beautiful and intelligent cat. Eva is a charming, social, and fun-loving child, while Fairuz adds a touch of feline sweetness. Both eagerly await the arrival of a new, cherished member to our household.
**Accommodation:**
Enjoy your own room, ensuring privacy, in our charming three-story independent old Istanbul wooden house centrally located in a quiet alley—a safe and serene environment.
**Hosting Experience:**
Having hosted volunteers for the past six years, we treasure the exchange of experiences and look forward to fostering positive memories with our new helper.
**Requirements:**
Preference will be given...
- to volunteers committed to a minimum one-month stay, with an inclination for longer durations;
- to volunteers with music (guitar and piano) knowledge, even better if able to teach that to Eva;
- to Greek native or very fluent speakers (NOT necessary! it is not a condition, just a reason for preference. in 6 years, we have got only one Greek speaking volunteer. No problem!)
If you're excited about becoming part of our household, exploring Istanbul's vibrant culture, and contributing positively to our family dynamic, we eagerly anticipate hearing from you!
