I had a good time staying with Eva's family, but we also had our challenges. I think it's really helpful if you speak at least a little Spanish to integrate better into the family and make the experience easier for yourself. It's also a plus if you have teaching experience, though this was sometimes tricky. They are very flexible with schedules, and the kids are really sweet, which is a bonus. For the best experience, I think it's good to stay for at least three months to build a strong connection.

My stay with the family was sooo great!! They were so welcoming since the day they picked me up at the ADO station. They took me out to some cenotes, beaches, they showed me the parks around. All you have to do is to be creative and to the home their children what you know! Everyday, Eva was helping me with the program that I should the home the kids. They have so much things to help you, as memory cards, games, arts, etc. They are also very flexible in time, I went away sooner than I was supposed to, but Eva was so understanding and I really felt at home! The kids are lovely and I am so grateful :)

I felt instantly welcomed into the family, and was eased into the experience getting to know the house and kids. They are flexible with the hours you want to work. I usually did the lessons in the mornings at the park but sometimes it was in the afternoons, or long excursions to the cenote or beach. I had the weekends free to explore the area. There are lots of games and toys to use for the lessons, and the meals are nutritious and delicious. Be prepared to handle the heat, I recommend a hammock to sleep in! The kids are absolutely lovely and full of energy so stay focused and organized!

My experience overall has been great in getting along with the kids and immersing myself to the family lifestyle. The English lessons are simple and you can conduct how you would like to the home the kids. Class is usually in the mornings for a couple of hours before they have their extracurriculars in the afternoons. Some things to take in consideration is they do have a healthy eating lifestyle and if that is not for you you are free to get groceries and use the kitchen to cook. As well, you must be able to handle heat well because it is hot here in Playa del Carmen.

Hooooli 💗 Definitivamente unos excelentes host. Fueron flexibles con mis tiempos, me llevaron a algunos cenotes, playas y cumples. Es importante decir que vas a recibir tanto como des y no olvides que vas a cuidar y enseñar a niños de 6, 7 y 9 años entonces se necesita compromiso, paciencia y cariño con ellos, también, como vas a estar compartiendo casa hay tareas de limpieza común como lavar los trastes después de cada comida. I was 4 months with them and enjoyed a lot, is a job and mutual reward, you get as much as you give. Don't forget to have commitment, patience and love for carin
