Merida is still quite a safe place. The local hospitals and doctors are excellent, many foreigners come here because of Price and locals flock from other states for medical attention because of quality. There are many bilingual shools and lots of english only kids, so you daughter will not be alone.
Liz,
The smaller cities and villages are very safe to live in, but be aware that you will not see much movement in any sense. Even merida is a rather quiet place, the villages are even more so. 4000 CAD can provide you with decent living standards.
