    Description

    Welcome to our home! We are a family of 5: Mom, Sheila (27), Diana (24), David (21), Daniel (18).
    We also have a pug as a pet named Eleonor :) Our house is located in a good area in the "City Of Eternal Spring" Cuernavaca. The city is located south of Mexico City ( ​1 1⁄2 hr). Cuernavaca always has been a popular place for people from Mexico City to escape the city.
    We love to have foreign people at home, it's a bit like traveling all the time.
    We are looking for diligent&helpful people!

    UPDATE!!!!!!

    When we started with Workaway the complete family (5 people) lived in the same house, but NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!
    Sheila, Diana, and Daniel no longer live at home. Of course, they sometimes visit and they're still eager to learn your language. The family's outlook is somewhat uncertain right now. We lived through a difficult time as a family because Mom had a stroke, so she had to quit her job, but thank God she's been recovering well. She's independent and does her things "normally," except she's taking therapy to recover her language, and she'll probably have brain surgery again. David is still at home, but he's busy all day; he works in the morning and studies at university in the afternoon/evening. So, if you'd like to stay at our house (your house, too!), it's important for you to know that now due to the new dynamics of the house most of the time you'll have to organize your activities alone (ideal if you're more introverted, haha ).
