A little bit about me
I’m a nurturing and experienced nanny with over 5 years of professional childcare experience, including a background as a preschool teacher. I’ve cared for children from infancy through school age, supporting key milestones such as potty training, early speech, social development, and school readiness. I bring structure, creativity, and warmth to each day—planning engaging, age-appropriate activities and building strong, trusting bonds with both children and parents. I also have experience traveling with families and assisting school-age children with after-school routines and homework. Whether helping with first steps or supporting growing independence, I love creating safe, joyful environments where kids can thrive.

"Jayla has such a sweet person and my kid loved her!! The reason she doesn’t work for us anymore is because we moved. She built a strong connection with my son and he always looked forward to seeing her when she came. She communicates well, she a hard worker, she’s caring. She was a part time preschool teacher and also was taking care of my son. She came with us when we traveled and even on her days off, if I needed her she came. So she’s very dependable. She’s a great person. Any family who picks her will be lucky to have her!!"

I am a certified EMT-B and have over 3 years of experience preforming lifesaving and routine interventions for pediatric and adult patients. I helped raise my two siblings, one of which has ASD, and I have held a CPR certification since I was 13 years old. I have a BS in Biology and I begin medical school in July, 2026. I am very passionate about engaging with kids and keeping them active mentally and physically. I am always willing to learn and adapt to established routines and behaviors. I am happy to help with pets too! I am looking to work long days (up to 12 hours) with the potential of “call-ins” if there are any last-minute plans or emergencies. I am also happy to work overnight shifts if need be!

A little bit about me
Hello! I am a college sophomore that attends American University in D.C., and I am really looking for a job! I love to babysit family friends, and just enjoy caring for kids in general, so I am hoping to continue that while I’m attending school. I’ve babysat quite a few kids, and am also certified with American Red Cross for any emergencies when it comes to babysitting. I have my license, I can cook, clean, and have experience with caring for kids (of course) of any age, no matter what the circumstances are.
I love doing activities with kids, such as going outside, bike riding, reading a book, etc.
I have a slight allergy to cats and dogs, but nothing that Benadryl can’t handle.

Nanny Devon
"Devon is very punctual with her time. She runs a tight shift but a great one of course. My children loved her, she taught them educational lessons instead of just letting them play with toys all day. She also taught my children how to be self sufficient with certain task overall she is phenomenal and would be a great asset to anyone's home."

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Washington, DC
Nanny Lane helps you find a weekend nanny in Washington, DC who fits your family's schedule. Browse profiles of nannies who are available on Saturdays or Sundays, then message the ones you like.

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 Washington, DC
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.
