Lucy $16 per hour for 1 child

I’ve been a natural caregiver since I was young, and today I’m a mom of two elementary-aged children. I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I have taken multiple CPR courses. I’m happy to help with meals, tidying up, and light housekeeping as well. I also have experience caring for a variety of pets and supporting individuals and seniors with and without disabilities through agencies including Papa Pals, Mandy’s Farm, and ARCA. I approach every person and pet I care for with patience, kindness, and empathy, and I always strive to create a safe and comfortable environment.

Booked by 2 families in Placitas, 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.”

Booked by 1 family in Placitas, NM

Hi there! I'm Kristina, or as many toddlers call me, Nina. I have experience working with children and young people through my babysitting work and my own niece & nephew. I am confident in providing routines, cooking, organizing activities, helping with homework, bath time and bedtime. I really enjoy spending time with children and engaging with them at their level. I try to make each time spent together new and exciting filled with fun activities to limit screen time. I also welcome pet-sitting opportunities. I have experience with cats and dogs, but welcome all types of furry and non-furry babies. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to chat further.

“We use Kristina for both pet sitting and childcare, and she's great at both! With permission she takes our pups to the dog park and on long walks, and she shows lots of love. Our dogs are always thrilled to see Kristina! She's also wonderful with kids, and ours always report that they have a great time with her.”

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
