"A glance at any airport lounge reveals one thing: travelling with children can be onerous. The sheer amount of apparatus parents have in tow can resemble a military manoeuvre, and arriving at a foreign destination with a child often throws up hurdles hotels can't manage. These are all observations travel journalist Sevil Delin made when she had a child. She found that on trips even the most exclusive hotels often lacked the wherewithal to cater for children. That's where the idea for her business, Hotel Momcierge, came. Delin's model provides concierge services for parents in her hometown of Istanbul. The services are aimed at business clients too: mothers travelling with children. Sophie Grove met up with Sevil at her home in Cihangir to find out more."
Excerpt: "I thought, wouldn't it be great if I arrived in a hotel and the steriliser was waiting in the room, and I'd already booked the nanny, and I'd chosen her from a list, and I knew her name, and I knew her background, and if my kids could be safe and secure but I could also enjoy my vacation and have a break...So I decided we needed somebody to be a Momcierge." (Sevil Delin)

“I used Hotel Momcierge for babysitting... and loved the service. I only mention it here because it may come handy to you. Probably it's a good time to mention that everything I have mentioned and posted here are purely, solely and utterly my personal opinions and experiences and none was sponsored in any form or way... ” (February 2016)
Lale Magazine

“Sevil’s experience as a mother traveling with a child inspired her to create the worlds first comprehensive family travel concierge. As a globetrotter who has traveled to 40 countries, she didn’t want to stop doing the things she enjoyed just because she had kids, travel being one of those activities. She wanted to make things easier for people who also wanted to travel with their young children, and her services help families whether it means getting a crib or car seat or highchair for a hotel stay, or to arrange safe airport transfers within the city. ” (July-August, 2018)
