About Us

For the past 15 years, I have been the nanny for children of many different ages. For the past six years, I have been the nanny for two little girls. They are currently six and nine. During that time, I have had two boys of my own. I have had many experiences of traveling with young children. When my youngest was three weeks old, my husband and I took all four children to Hawaii. We needed a toddler bed, so we called Dorkels Rentals. They sent us to their website at www.dorkelsrental.com and we found tons of great stuff. We rented a toddler bed, a basket of toys that all the kids played with, beach chairs and an umbrella, beach toys, and a cooler. Having these things made our vacation so much easier!

When I got back home, I thought about starting a company like this in Albuquerque. I felt that there was a great need for this service. Several months went by, and I hadn't done anything with the idea. My husband and I took all four children to Idaho to visit some friends. We flew into Salt Lake City and were going to drive to Idaho Falls. I had reserved two car seats through the rental car company. I called the night before our arrival to confirm, but I still found myself standing in the Salt Lake City Airport with no car seat for my baby. They explained to me that a request for a car seat is just a request and not a reservation. My husband had to drive to the nearest store to purchase a car seat. If I had been traveling alone, I would have been stuck in the airport with no options.

As soon as I arrived back in Albuquerque, I began to take the steps to open up Travelin' Tots Rentals, LLC. I wanted to be able to provide items to make families with small children comfortable when they come to New Mexico. Any item that you reserve through us is set aside just for you. You don't have to worry about getting to New Mexico and not having the things that you need to keep your child safe and comfortable.

We at Travelin' Tots Rentals thank you for doing business with us, and hope that you have a wonderful stay in the Albuquerque area.


Thank You!
