A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Gen Richards and I recently moved to Las Cruces in October of 2020. My husband is in the Army so we moved from here South Korea. I have a BA in Exercise Science and Health Promotion. I have limited experience when it comes to being a nanny. However I do have extensive experience in being around children of all ages. My mom has been a daycare provider for 20+ years, I was a lifeguard for 6 years and babysat for local families back in my hometown. My husband and I don't have kids, yet, but we do have two Dachshunds.

I love to be outside whether is hiking, walking or riding my bike. My hobbies include reading, swimming, board games, blogging, and playing with our pups.

I am fun, approachable, and always treat kids with mutual respect. I genuinely enjoy hearing their ideas and opinions, and I make sure they feel listened to and understood. I create a positive environment where kids can express themselves freely while having fun!

A little bit about me

Unfortunately I don't have official Nanny experience yet, however I've taken care of children within my family my entire life! I also have taken care of my grandparents and mother for the past 2 years, keeping them healthy and on track with medications, as well as cooking, cleaning, decluttering, hygiene, and running errands (especially during the pandemic to keep them safe). My grandmother has dementia, so trust me when I say I know all about demonstrating patience and understanding while trying to get someone to do something they do not want to do. I never yell. I can be firm and demonstrate authority without having to resort to yelling. I am punctual, organized, and a great cook! My cooking focuses on health and nutrition, getting the macros that you need in your diet! I am a kid at heart though and will color, play pretend or run around outside with the best of 'em!

A little bit about me

I am a caring and dependable childcare provider with extensive experience working with children of all ages through my role as a long-term and permanent substitute teacher in Las Cruces Public Schools. At Lynn Middle School and Highland Elementary, I have supported students in both academic and social settings, creating safe, engaging, and nurturing environments. I am passionate about helping children grow not only as learners but as individuals, and I bring creativity, patience, and consistency to every interaction. My background in education has equipped me with strong skills in communication, conflict resolution, and positive behavior support. Families can count on me to provide reliable care, structure, and warmth, whether helping with homework, creating fun activities, or simply being a trusted adult in a child’s day. Rooted in the Las Cruces community, I value building strong relationships with both children and parents to ensure every child feels supported and cared for.

Understand Babysitter Responsibilities in Las Cruces, NM

Before beginning the search for a babysitter, it’s important to understand what you’re looking for and if a babysitter is the right choice for your child care needs. There are lots of benefits to hiring a babysitter such as getting the flexibility of having some more time for yourself or with your partner. When hiring a babysitter, first, you should explore the differences between a nanny and a babysitter. If you’re looking for occasional child care, babysitters are the right choice for you, but if you’re looking for more frequent care, a nanny may be better for your needs.

From there, you can think about what you expect your babysitter to handle so that you can create a profile for nannies to reach out to you. The boundaries for babysitters’ duties can vary from family to family. However, in general, a babysitter is responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example to housekeeping, laundry, or meal preparation, it’s good practice to communicate these expectations with your babysitter before hiring them. Along with the different duties that you ask for, experience and location in Las Cruces can impact how much you pay your babysitter.

Las Cruces Babysitter Interviews

Once you start connecting with prospective babysitters, the next step is to conduct an interview. To make things a bit easier, here’s a list of some babysitter interview questions to consider asking:

  • Do you have experience being a babysitter?
  • What sort of household tasks are you open and comfortable doing?
  • Do you have any references?
  • Are you trained in First Aid or CPR in New Mexico?
  • Do you have a New Mexico driver’s license? Do you own a car?
  • How do you handle tantrums? Can you share an experience disciplining children?

During the hiring process, it’s essential to ask for references and by asking their references questions you gain a better understanding of they will fit in your family. As you get closer to hiring a nanny, be sure to run a background check to ensure your kids are in good hands. When evaluating a babysitter that you’re considering hiring, make sure you’re setting the foundation for a good relationship with your babysitter. You can do this by being clear about your expectations around babysitter responsibilities and compensation, and of course, by being friendly and welcoming!

And of course, as you learn how to hire a babysitter, Nanny Lane's nanny services are here to help you along the way.
