Frontdoor Services in Playa del Carmen

[Michele]

The quality of life that we experience living in Mexico makes up for any culture shock we may occasionally experience. The home and personal services available in Mexico are very affordable and go a long way to helping us adapt a carefree beach living attitude! Coming from a do-it-yourself culture, land of self-check outs and self-service gas stations, to Playa del Carmen may be jarring for some, but you'll quickly get used to having someone bag your groceries, wash and fold your laundry, walk your dog, guide you to parking spots and fuel your tank so you don't even have to get out of the car.

Does the 4,000 peso a month for gardener etc... include the cost of IMSS, or the aguinaldo and other expenses associated with having staff?

[Michele]

No, alguinaldo, additional living expenses, IMSS etc would be additional cost. In my experience I have found that gardeners and maids would prefer to forgo IMSS in order that they do not have to file taxes. If they are paid through a payroll company which handles IMSS etc for employees then they have to file. Only one of our many household staff over 8 years had a bank account to autodeposit into and also opted for cash and no benefits
