Description
Hi,
We are family of 3 live in beautiful aegean coast of Izmir, Turkey.
Our home is very close to everything you might need...like bus stop, market, shop,hairdresser, parmacy , hills., seaside (all within walking distance)
The main reason that make us hosting workawayers in this period of our life is to improve our son English and/or French skills, exposing him to the languange in the best way for a child: by playing spountaneously with people that can communicate only in English and/or French . My son is very spontaneous and full of excitement with workawayers.! My 12 year-old son needs to improve his ENGLISH and/or FRENCH BY SPEAKING, READING, WRITING. That's why we are looking for a native ENGLISH or/and native FRENCH speakers.
We are happy and easy going family looking for big sister /friend who’ll really see us as a family in another country.
We are happy to help you to experience Turkish culture, life, history, Turkish cusine, Turkish language if would you like to learn ,.
You have a chance to explore all hidden areas and also, Kuşadası, Şirince, ancient city of Efes, Cappadocia.. etc..
Looking forward to hearing from you soon ...

Hi there,
My son goes to school from September to mid-June, so we are in Izmir. With the school holidays in June, we are going to the holiday house in Çeşme.
• Generally between 18.00 and 22.00 in the evening between September and mid-June. It is necessary to keep him busy with English and/or French. Do writing and reading exercises in your native language, chat, build Legos or play chess, etc. He likes playing with blocks, drawing and using his imagination. Our son is active, creative, friendly, forms close bonds with people easily, so he is easy to get along with. Therefore, volunteers must be cheerful, playful and talkative who likes to chat and who should love hanging out with kids?
Please note:::::::: This position is not childcare, so there is no need for just watching and a long silence!
•We ask you to do light house chores such as sweeping the floor, mopping 2 days a week . keeping the house tidy, like all house members.
* Depending on your or our schedule, hours may change or your days off may change, provided that we discuss it in advance. But don’t worry, you’ll be sure to have plenty of free time to explore.
*We will be in ÇEŞME in mid-June. We usually ask you to spend 5 hours with him in the afternoon.
*We are returning to Izmir again due to the opening of schools from the beginning of September.
