Booked by 2 families in Albuquerque, NM

Hello Family! I am currently a House Mom at one of the UMN sororities. I’d love to help out your family in my free time! Child care, cleaning, pets, meal prep/cook, errand running, yard work, organizing, personal assisting, etc. I am a mom of 4 grown children and I have been professionally employed in the Domestic Arts for decades, with impeccable references. I am represented by one of Albuquerque’s premier Nanny agencies. My love for children & pets, plus my natural level of high energy and attention to detail make this field a joy for me. I’d love to meet and see if we are a good match! Thank you for considering me!

“She is punctual and great communication through out the whole care. When we came back at night, our son is asleep after shower brushing teeth and fed. She made every minute filled with fun activities like drawing, painting and play playdough. Not to mention how organized she is! Big big thank you to you Mercedes! It has been a great pleasure to meet you and have my son in your care.”

Katana $24 per hour for 1 child

Hi, I’m Katana! I’m currently looking for a summer nannying position and would love to support a family that values patience, creativity, and attentive care. My availability starts May 25th, but I have availability to meet and get to know your family before May 25th, just ask😁 I work as an Education Assistant at a school for the Blind, where I primarily support children ages 2–4 with multiple disabilities, including cerebral palsy, autism, quadriplegia, and sensory needs. This role has taught me how to support and encourage independence in children while meeting them where they are. It’s also given me strong skills in G-tube care and troubleshooting, following individualized routines (ISP), supporting PT and OT goals, creating engaging arts and crafts, and reading nonverbal communication and body language. It has also strengthened my attention to cleanliness and organization, keeping environments safe, tidy, and supportive for daily routines. I have basic training in braille and sign language and am always eager to keep learning. I am also First Aid trained and prioritize safety while creating a calm, supportive environment for every child. While my professional experience is with younger children, I’m open and comfortable working with kids ages 2–12. I bring a patient, adaptable, and nurturing approach to each child’s unique needs. I’m also an animal lover! I have a high-energy dog of my own, so I understand the importance of keeping pets active, engaged, and cared for. I’d be happy to help with your pets as well. Looking forward to connecting with your family!
