Immigrant Nannies | Istanbul, Turkey

There are multiple families with four immigrant nannies/housecleaners at this birthday party. One is from Turkmenistan the other three are from Uzbekistan. Many domestic workers come illegally or are smuggled in to make money to support their own children and families back home. Some families pay to bring their favorite workers back after they have been deported. Turkey is primarily affected by internal migration.  Istanbul’s population was two million thirty years ago and is now twelve million.
