Play, read books and stories in english, do some homework to prepare Aksel to 1st grade and of course swim in summertime and hand crafts etc... you will start to take care of him at 7:15am, take him for breakfast and then you can start to play. You will have 24 hours off per week and every nights off after he goes to sleep. You would be in charge of both of our sons Arman who is 1 and half year old and Aksel 5 years old, you will play with them educatif games to teach them by playing, your day starts at 7:15am and ends at bedtime which is around 8pm. In between, there will be their lunch, diner and bath time that you will be helping his nanny with. During his nanny's day off which is 1 day per week, you will be completely in charge. The reason why you have the same job description as the french nanny is because we need both of our sons to speak english and french fluently and we do not want you to work more than 45 hours a week so you will be planning your schedules in accordance.

Family's Message to Au Pairs and Nannies

Dear Au Pair, We are a happily married couple of 38 years old. We have both Belgian and Turkish nationalites.We have 2 boys: Arman is one and a half and Aksel is 5 years old. We already have a nanny for our younger son and we also have a french aupair girlfriend (who has the same job description as yours) but we are looking for a nice, energetic, fun, experienced english speaking friend who will teach and have fun with them. Aksel is a very friendly and a well mannered boy who already speaks English, French and Turkish. He loves theaters, acting and painting and Arman walks already and immitates his older brother all the time. Aksel went to an English speaking kindergarden for 2 years and he will be going to the same school in September as well. He will need an english speaking friend to improve his english. Our younger son Arman needs to learn english cause he will start pre-school soon and he needs someone young to run after him as he wants to walk all the time but isn't good at it yet. We live in Istanbul/Turkey but during summer time we move to the south west coast of Turkey "Bodrum" on the aegean seaside for 2 months. Our house is on the beach. You will be sharing a house that has 1 bedroom, bathroom and a living room with the french aupair girl. There is a wireless system all over the house, you can bring your laptop along. We live in a 600 square meter house inside 2 hacres garden surounded by a lot of trees. In our house 6 people are already working: a cook, a gardener, 2 housekeepers and a nanny for our youngest son + a french aupair girl. If you are interested please contact us, Regards family
