A little bit about me
Hello I'm Teresa! I have a BS in psychology with a focus in early childhood development. I have worked for DHHS - child protective services for 2.5 years and directly with foster children during that time. I am from a family of 11 children and was always the "mothers helper". I have helped to raise my now almost 6 year old niece since she was 2 years old. I enjoy watching children learn by helping them through play, crafts, outdoor learning, creative experiments etc. I enjoy watching child develop throughout the years and find their sense of self and confidence. Every child is different as are their needs/comforts. I listen to each child and meet them where they are in terms of needs and wants. I take a gentle approach in parenting and would want to discuss parenting styles to ensure we are working together to support your children in the best way.

A little bit about me
Hello, I am Boomer, I am from a small village in Central Pennsylvania. My upbringing was unique because I was raised with 10 other children. Growing up around many younger children inspired a strong sense of responsibility for their well-being. I learned to be patient with them, taught them to do tasks independently, and helped them understand their emotions and those of others around them. As a result of my care for others, I find the well-being, education, and ethics of future generations of utmost importance. I am empathetic and generous, but I run a tight ship. My main goal is to leave a positive, lasting impression with the kids I meet and care for.

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 Portland, ME
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.
