A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Yashica a freshman at ucsc and a patient nanny/babysitter who loves creating a safe environment where children feel supported. I've been caring for kids since I was young, including supervising children throughout a full week of day camp and working with kids during events, and nannying. I hold a CPR certification from ProCPR and First Aid experience through a medical pathway, so safety is a top priority. I'm comfortable caring for children of all backgrounds and individual needs, and I'll always respect your household rules.

A little bit about me
As an experienced nanny and parent, I believe I have a unique perspective on the importance a great caregiver can bring to a busy family. While respecting boundaries and the emotional atmosphere of the home, I like to feel that I am an honorary member of your family. I am willing to pitch in with errands, homework, meal prep or whatever is needed - and I am aware that may change daily! Also willing to travel with your family and I have extensive travel experience.

A little bit about me
Reliable, friendly, patient marketing professional and mother of a 21-year-old college student. Looking for occasional care jobs while searching for a flexible corporate job. As a mom of a child who went to Montessori, public school, and University (opera), I chaperoned choir trips to Europe, music lessons, and kids' theater. I have a BA in Literature from UC Irvine, lived in Germany for a year, and speak some German and French. For 25 years, I've managed sales, marketing, events, and websites related to music, education, tech, and retail for corporate and family businesses, so I’m a good multitasker and calm under pressure. I was a sitter in my teens, including autistic children. I've had cats, dogs, and fish. Happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, chaperoning zoom lessons, transportation, and shopping (I am a Costco member). My SUV seats 7 (or 5 with groceries and a stroller). Passed Red Cross Adult, Child, and Baby First Aid/CPR/AED.

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."
- Laila
Nanny Silvana
"Silvana was a very nurturing nanny. She had the difficult task of being the first nanny to care for my 6 month old son. She knew what to do and helped my son quickly overcome the separation anxiety. She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."
- Nikoleta
Nanny Brianna
"Bri is amazing with Children. She knows how to handle different personalities, kids will warm up fast. Many memories still stick with my kids with fun adventures, arts and crafts, eating."

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Santa Cruz, CA
Nanny Lane helps you find a weekend nanny in Santa Cruz, CA who fits your family's schedule. Browse profiles of nannies who are available on Saturdays or Sundays, then message the ones you like.
We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
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 Santa Cruz, CA
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.
