Istanbul, Turkey | French-Speaking Nanny/Tutor | ASAP Start date
A Turkish family, living in Istanbul, are looking for an educated and qualified French-speaking nanny/tutor to join their family and help them caring for their two daughters, aged 8 and 4.
The oldest daughter attends a very prestigious Turkish school and the youngest one goes to kindergarten, where English is also taught. Just like in Europe, the little girls go to school 36 weeks per year.
Both of them are bilingual in Turkish and English.
However, the 8-year-old has recently expressed the wish to learn French. Therefore, the parents are looking for the adequate French-speaking nanny/tutor.
The primary care will be the 8-year-old little girl. However, the nanny/tutor will also be looking after and teaching the 4-year-old.
No one in the family speaks French. Therefore, the nanny/tutor must be fluent in English.
The nanny/tutor must be willing to offer French classes to the mother if needed/wanted.
The father is a renowned lawyer, while the mother is a stay-at-home mum, very involved and hands-on in the little’s girls life an education.
Both little girls are very active children who play the piano, go to the ballet, to the gym, play theatre, and enjoy going to birthday parties.
They are also very artistic and have their own playroom to do arts & crafts, DIY, paintings etc.
On a daily basis, the nanny/tutor will have to teach both little girls French, through academic activities, outdoors activities (museums, playgroups etc.), through play and storytelling. Planning age appropriate and educative activities in French will be a very important part of the nanny/tutor’s duties.
For the past 7 years, the family have employed a Filipina nanny/teacher and another helper to assist with both little girls. They will both keep working alongside the French speaking nanny/tutor.
The nanny/tutor will work 6 days a week. Fridays will be off. However, this is negotiable to 5 days a week for a strong candidate.
Working hours will be: 6am/8pm.
For the right candidate, the family is willing to offer the nanny/tutor will have 2 hours of per day, so she can rest and have her own activities (emails, go to the gym..). Of course, the nanny/ tutor should be flexible and prepared to cancel her time off if circumstances change.
The nanny will not be on duty at night, as the mother will care for the children if needed.
The family often travel to their holiday home in Bodrum, to the EU or to Dubai, and the nanny/tutor will have to accompany them.
During school holidays the nanny/ tutor will be on duty all day long.
The nanny will be offered 5 weeks of paid holidays.
A return flight home will be offered to the nanny/tutor.
The family live in a triplex where nanny can live in her own room. She will be able to use the gym within the building etc. For her days off, the family may offer the nanny/tutor the family driver also to drop off and picking up but the place is very well located in the centre of the city so it would not really be necessary.
