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.
The SoMos FaMily have all become friends with one another which creates an extra fun energy for your children to be around!
Sam
Hey I'm Sam
​
Chef, handyman, fount of knowledge on all things Oaxaca and beyond! I have a passion for creating meals made from local, seasonal ingredients which incorporate comfort food with traditional Oaxacan dishes. I love getting to know the guests and helping them have the best possible experience on their Retreat.
​
Outside of SoMos I am a happy husband to Sara and proud Dad to the loveliest little girl who is our absolute joy.
​
I look forward to meeting you!
​
Sam has been with us since we opened the CaSa. Initially as a handyman but once we tried his food we knew he was our chef. He's excellent at creating dishes that are easily adapted to a childs palette!
Lolita
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!
​
​
Lolita babysits for my (Tania's) Children. When I saw how much they loved her I knew I needed her to work on the Retreats!
Estafania
Estafania is the daughter of Lolita. She has worked as a Nanny for four years. She was eager to join her Mother in caring for children on the Retreats. Having the opportunity to have a Mother/daughter team working as nineras to the children felt like serendipity.
​
You will find her to be a kind, nurturing young lady who your children will absolutely adore! (She's also a whizz at putting babies down for naps!)
​
When one of our nineras left town, we were super happy to welcome Fany to the family. She is wonderful with all children (my kids adore her) and brings a patient, fun energy to the Retreats.
Margarita
Hello!
​
I'm Margarita and I have a background in childrens education. I love being around little ones and getting to know their unique personalities. I am great at coming up with creative activities and games to play with the children. I like to keep them busy so that they sleep well while they are here! I have worked with children for many years and I am bilingual.
​
Margarita applied for a different position we advertised. When we saw how great she was with children we hired her as a Ninera instead!
