Accommodation Options of Au Pairs in Turkey
Private Rooms, Comfort, and Safe Living with Host Families
Individuals considering an au pair or nanny position in Turkey often have questions about their living arrangements. In nearly all cases, the host family will provide a comfortable, private room, ensuring the au pair has personal space and privacy. This room typically includes essential furnishings such as a bed, a wardrobe, a mirror, and other necessary items for a comfortable stay.
There are some families may prefer a "stay-out" arrangement, but our agency, Au Pair in Turkey, exclusively works with families who offer a "stay-in" experience. During the family application process, we make sure on our interviews to understand their needs and ensure a great match.
To meet our criteria, the room must be a minimum of 12 square meters and have a window for proper air circulation. It will be furnished with all the necessary items and equipments to ensure a pleasant and comfortable au pair experience.
To ensure your well-being and privacy, it is essential for an au pair to confirm they will have a private room with a window for proper air circulation. Additionally, our candidates can be ensured the room is equipped with the necessary furniture and secure storage for your personal belongings. A respectful and accommodating living situation is a key component of a successful au pair experience, allowing you to focus on your role while feeling safe and at home.

Creating a Safe, Comfortable, and Welcoming Home for Au Pairs
In addition to the private room, host families are also expected to provide access to shared household facilities. This includes the kitchen, living room, and bathroom, ensuring that the au pair feels like a true member of the family rather than just an employee. We encourage au pairs to take part in family meals and daily routines, as these moments are not only important for bonding but also provide excellent opportunities for practicing the local language (You can find more information here about learning the Turkish language) and integrating into Turkish culture. Furthermore, our agency emphasizes the importance of clear agreements between the family and the au pair regarding house rules, use of common spaces, and expectations for privacy. This prevents misunderstandings and ensures both sides feel respected. Families are reminded that the au pair’s private room should always remain their personal sanctuary, where they can rest, recharge, and enjoy personal time away from daily responsibilities.
