Moving to Mexico?
Hello!
We’re Catherine and Cordelia (Cat & Coco) — two longtime friends who have navigated major life transitions: relocating internationally, raising children abroad, and moving aging parents in need of higher-quality caregiving support to Mexico when options in the U.S. fell short.
At Cat & Coco, We specialize in supporting women—especially those balancing caregiving for both children and aging parents—who are considering or preparing for a move to Mexico. Whether you’re a solo parent, part of a multigenerational family, or just carrying the invisible weight of making it all work, we’re here to help you land softly.
Questions We Help Mothers & Caregivers Answer
💬 What’s it really like to live in Mexico as a woman and a caregiver?
How does daily life feel — and what are the real opportunities and challenges?
📍 Which locations in Mexico are best suited for raising kids or caring for aging parents? We help you identify communities that align with your family’s needs, values, and lifestyle.
👵🏽👶🏽 Can I move my aging parents — or my whole family — to Mexico?
If you're struggling to find affordable, supportive care in the U.S., we can help you explore options in Mexico that offer dignity, quality, and connection.
🎒 What are the educational options for my children? From international schools to alternative models, we’ll walk you through what’s available and what to consider.
🧓 What support exists for retirees and older adults in Mexico?
We’ll help you explore healthcare, housing, and community networks that support aging well.
🛂 What are the immigration and residency requirements?
We’ll guide you through the practicalities of visas, paperwork, and planning for the long term.
Our goal is to support women who are navigating the challenges of caregiving and relocation — and to offer the insight, clarity, and connection needed to build a grounded life in Mexico.
Meet Cat and Coco
We are mothers and daughters with over 20 years experience living in Mexico (and additional years abroad!) We both transitioned our kids and our elderly parents and want to share the knowledge we have acquired over the years here with others considering making this exciting move.
