***Looking for a long term, full time position as well as date night***
Fun, engaging, and child centered nanny looking for awesome kiddos to spend my days with. I enjoy littles of all ages where we can read books, sing songs, play games, and go for walks. I love to cook and bake with my kiddos too! I have 18 years of public school teaching experience, 7+ years of tutoring, and 10 years of nannying Kiddos of all ages. If I had to choose a favorite age group it would be very difficult but I’d say 6 Mo- 4 years because they change and grow so much during this time. I love being a part of their development! I also have experience with teaching littles how to swim, learn the basics of soccer, and how to ice skate. Academically, within my job as a nanny I have taught the curriculum for preschool, TK, and Kinder preparing my littles for the traditional classroom. I’m not just a paid nanny and I will treat and love on your children as if they were my own.

"Ms. Stephenie was our family nanny supporting us through the Covid era. She cared for our 1 yr old daughter and 4 yr old son. I worked from home and was able to witness firsthand her love for our children. She took special care of each of them. She would dress our daughter in cute outfits, spend quality time talking with her, reading to her, and taking her out on daily walks around the neighborhood. She even taught preschool lessons to our son and enriched his daily activities to challenge his brain and provide him exercise while also shaping his social skills. She liked to cook with the kids and started other traditions like singing “you are my sunshine” and making microwave popcorn. She was always patient, loving and firm with her expectations which aligned with our parenting style. Our kids loved her and we knew she’d always be special to our family. She remains at the top of our list of date night babysitters to this day."

"It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Vanessa. She worked full-time with our family from April 2025 through September 2026, caring for our two children, who were 5 months and 6 years old when she started with us.
Vanessa is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, patient, caring, and loving. From the beginning, I felt completely comfortable leaving my children in her care, which as a parent is invaluable. She developed such a special bond with both of our children and truly became part of our family. She also traveled with us, and we always trusted her completely with our children, both at home and away.
Our time with Vanessa only came to an end because our childcare needs changed as our children transitioned into preschool and school. I always joke that I would have kept her until they went to college if I could! We absolutely love Vanessa and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her."

A little bit about me
My name is Heron Yosief Haile. I grew up in a large family and was the family babysitter during family events. I have experience with kids of all ages from infancy to 18+ both with a verified agency and private clients. I can cook, tutor, am First AID/CPR certified for all ages. I have a variety of interests which allows me to easily bond with people. I prefer to let the kids no matter their age guide our activities within age-appropriate and parental parameters as I believe that agency is important everyone. I am an effective communicator, respectful, and patient.

"Heron was a phenomenal employee. She took great care of our son, always coming up with fun and exciting activities and giving him a lot of delicate care and love. Our son had special medical needs and she learned how to care for him quickly. She was humble, and willing to dig in and learn special medical instructions, breastmilk instructions, and other house management tasks such as baby laundry, dishes, etc. She always listened to our instructions and requests. She was reliable and dependable. You can tell she truly loves children by the love and care she puts into watching them. I would definitely recommend Heron as a nanny."

What Is a Weekend Nanny?
A weekend nanny cares for your children on Saturdays, Sundays, or both. Some weekend nannies work every weekend, and others are available for the occasional weekend when you have an event, a trip, or a work commitment. Many have another job during the week, so they are often flexible about shorter shifts and one-off dates.
Common Responsibilities of Weekend Nannies in California
Weekend care looks a lot like any other nanny job: supervising play, preparing meals and snacks, getting children to activities, and keeping to nap and bedtime routines. Because weekends are often busier and more active, you may also ask for help with outings, birthday parties, sports games, or family errands.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Be clear about the days and hours you need, whether the schedule is regular or occasional, and how much notice you can give. Rates and pay rules, including how weekend hours are paid, vary by state or province, so agree the details in writing and consider using nanny payroll to keep it simple. If you only need a few weekends a year, say so up front so nannies can plan around it.
Weekend Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Which weekends are you available, and how much notice do you need?
- Do you work every weekend or only occasionally?
- Are you comfortable with outings and activities, and with driving the children if needed?
- Are you trained in First Aid or CPR?
- What rate do you charge for weekend shifts?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
