“How Foreigners Living in Turkey Can Find Babysitting Jobs
Legal Requirements to Work as a Babysitter in Turkey
Before applying for a job, it is important to understand the legal work requirements for foreigners in Turkey:
-
Work Permit: You need a valid residence permit and a work permit sponsored by a family or agency.
-
Private Household Sponsorship: Families can apply for your work permit if you are directly employed in their home.
-
Work Visa Types: Most caregivers apply under the “domestic worker” category.
If you are a Filipino, Uzbek, Georgian, or Turkmen national, you are likely to find more opportunities, as Turkish families are familiar with hiring from these countries.
