My duties as a personal attendant are very diverse. Sometimes I work with a busy CEO and sometimes it's a rather large family. But always, being a personal attendant is about managing daily tasks, whether on a personal or on a professional level.

Tasks on hand could be arranging airport transportation or taxi services, party and event planning, shopping and meal preparation, and nanny and childcare service. However, these are just general examples, and I will gladly customize my services to fit your lifestyle, business, or family.

You are born and raised in Guadalajara. In what way does your Mexican background enrich your work as a Personal Attendant in Sayulita?

I believe that if you are here on a vacation, my Mexican background can add just the touch that will make your vacation unforgettable. For example, I can provide authentic Mexican dishes or gently lead you away from the touristy areas and show you the "real" Mexico. Also, being Mexican, I know the ropes in and around the area.

There are so many positive things about Sayulita, I hardly know where to start.
