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.

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.
