Tugce

Hello,

My name is Tuğçe Zeynep (pronounced as Tuuche), and I am coming from a Turkish-Bosnian family. I can speak Turkish, English, Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian, and I am learning German. I am studying Southeastern European Studies Master programme in Graz currently.

I am a very patient, warm, positive, easy-going, trustworthy, and communicative person. I like children and spending time with them. As I have a very big family, I have always taken care of her cousins at all the family gatherings, and I have always enjoyed it as kids have such a high level of imagination. I understand your concerns when it comes to your children, therefore I can offer you to meet me face to face first and give me some time with your children to see if they like spending time with me.

I like reading, watching cartoons, dancing, and painting even if I am not talented in that which actually encouraged my little cousins to do things they like no matter what kind of negative comments they get. I can have some at-home activities with them or can take them out and play with them in the park as one of their friends. I do not like to be on my phone or just sit and watch them, but it is always funnier and better to join their activities to understand their way of thinking. Kids have such a unique perspective!

My broken German might be weird for them in the beginning, but with my friends' kids, it actually resulted in having stronger communication, because they were not embarrassed anymore with their way of speaking, as they saw I speak German in a "funny way" for them, and it is a normal thing.

I do not smoke weed or cigarettes, and drink only occasionally, so you do not need to worry about it. I am a very responsible and clean person, and always ready to do my best to connect with your children and make them feel comfortable with me as well.

Best regards,

Tuğçe Zeynep
