Moving for work to JA

2 years ago

Greetings, I am Arantza from Spain. I might have the opportunity to move to JA for work at Montago bay. I have never been there b4 but I kind of know how tuff life is and the polar realities within the island. I lived in the gettos of South Africa for over 18 yrs and I know well how the world moves around.
My main issue is my 12yrs old daughter, obviously I would go first on my own to check and settle for 6 months, but the idea is to relocate her with me once I am familiar and organize there.
I have seen 2 beds house rentals in Mont bay for around 400usd month... I won't have money to pay a private international school, I already know that so I would have to do semi private (if any) or public schools.
How is the traveling from residential areas in Mont bay to the hotel/coast areas? if not too far cld I cicle? Schools times? I would work from 8:00 to 17:00 and I am not sure how will I b able to manage motherhood and work without a net of friends or family.

I would truly apprecilove some light and advice.
Thanks a millions.
Arantza
