A fellow member here in Asuncion gave us very good advice on how to find a German speaking baby-sitter for our little son (5 years old).
Our Community of Expatriates in Asunción Welcomes You!
Hola y buen día and a warm welcome to our expat community in Asunción, the capital city of Paraguay! For many, especially those who don't know the language, a move to the region of South America can seem daunting. But with hundreds of InterNations expats to connect with, starting the next chapter of your life need not be fraught with difficulties. "Are parts of Asunción unsafe?", "do the locals in Asunción speak English?", or "where is the best place for families to eat?" might be questions on your mind. InterNations gives you the opportunity to canvass the opinion of those with experience of the city.

Start Your New Life as an Expat in Asunción
Asunción is nicknamed "The Mother of Cities", but that moniker belies its relatively small size — about 500,000 populate the city limits. Expats take up a wide range of jobs in Asunción, with many working for one of the international companies that have bases here. Expatriates report that they enjoy healthcare of a very high standard in Asunción, while there are a number of international schools that expat parents may want to look into. The cathedral, several museums, and a pleasant city center mean Asunción is a nice environment for many expats to spend their downtime in, while the cost of living is relatively cheap.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Jakarta or Bali, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
The Social Network for Expatriates in Asunción
Most of Asunción's population is under the age of 30, meaning it might be perfect for a young professional moving to the city. Whether you fit this demographic or not, you will be able to draw on the experiences of fellow expats as part of the InterNations expat community, which is strong throughout South America. You might feel alone, but rest assured there are fellow expats that have been in your situation who can offer advice both online as well as offline. InterNations enables its members to easily organize local events, both small and large, so expats and global minds in Asunción have the chance to meet in real life. Furthermore, we promote an atmosphere of courtesy and politeness among all members, to make InterNations the safe and welcoming place it is.
