About Tania
Hello!
​
I am an Intentionally SoLo Mother of 2. My passion has always been travel. I resumed adventuring within weeks of the birth of each of my children.
Seeing the world through their eyes was amazing but there was definitely another layer of chaos that didn't exist before. It would take a few days until we settled in to our vacation - time that not everyone can afford!
​
During the pandemic I began dreaming of perfect vacations for solo parent families. How wonderful it would be to go to a new location, be immersed in culture, in beautiful accommodation with Nannies, good food and more. In providing a soft landing, I knew I could minimize the time it takes for children to settle. This meant that parents could begin enjoying their vacations as soon as they land!
​
And that is how SoMos Retreats was created.
​
As we have grown I have started to create retreats for all kinds of families as well as SMC Families (separate weeks)
We host SMC Retreats, Family Retreats, SoLo Mama Retreats, Family Reunions, Donor Sibling Reunions or mixed family vacations... if you need it and there are children involved then we can make it happen!.
Send me a message via the contact form and I'll be in touch to help you book your dream vacation. What are you waiting for?

Meet the SoMos FaMilia
We take great care when selecting the people who will be around your children whilst they are with us. After all, children are at the heart of what we do and why we exist! Everyone who cares for your children has either worked for us or for someone close to us.
Some of the SoMos FaMily are related to one another and all of our staff have become great friends with one another which we believe creates an extra fun energy for your children to be around!

Lolita
Nanny
Meet Lolita!
​
I am a mother of 3 children aged 9, 13 & 21. I love being around children and making them feel safe and cared for. Encouraging learning through play, crafting and every day life is a passion of mine. I am patient, loving and cheerful and this is reflected in how I interact with the children.
​
Being a Nanny on the Retreats is an amazing experience. I love getting to know the children and their personalities. I also am really enjoying learning a new language.
​
I can't wait to meet your kids!

Majo
Nanny
Majo has worked with my family since my youngest was just 5 months old. When I started SoMos Retreats I knew that I couldn't do it without her!
Majo lives in Merida but spends several months each year nannying for SoMos. She's a fully trained pre-school teacher and is excellent with kids of all ages. Firm, fun, kind and patient - your kids will love her!
