A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Jozette and I am a 21 year old female looking for 2-4 days of helping out a family with their children and other responsibilities needed. I am an online student at Grand Canyon University majoring in Early Childhood Education in hopes of becoming a Child Life Specialist. I have always loved being around kids and making them feel safe and wanted while also having fun with them. I have 5+ years of experience, with my most professional ones being an after school teacher at an elementary school or being a daycare counselor at a resort (as well as nanny gigs over the years). I would love to care for your children if suitable! I hope to hear all about you soon :)

A little bit about me
Hi There!
Thank you for taking the time to read a bit about me! As you can see from my profile, I am not only experienced with childcare but it is my place where work does not exist. They say if you find what you love to do you will never work again, being with young children brings that to me.

Hey y'all! My name is Lucy and I am interested in a part-time babysitting job! I am very flexible and prefer figuring out a schedule through messaging. I do have school but partly since I do online mostly, so I have lots of free time! I find joy in legos and outside time. I do not have my drivers license quite yet but will be getting it in 6 months. My parents are mostly available to drive me to your house and back, just cant drive the kid. Message me for more details if interested. ☺️

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."

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."

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.
