A little bit about me
I have babysat frequently but have yet to be a full time babysitter- I'd love too! I'm great with kids of all ages, for infants I may need a few tips and tricks to care for your child the best way possible.
I am a sophomore attending Iowa State and I'm on path to graduate with my bachelors of sociology in May of 2024! My end career goal would be a Pediatric Physicians Assistant.
Some classes I took in High school relevant to child care: Introduction to patient care, health sciences, parenting, public health, health, psychology, sociology. I was a lifeguard for all four years in high school! I got recertified in Basic Life Support on June 7th, 2021.
I will add I am a bartender on the weekends- I work at Aj's Ultra lounge. They are open Wed-Sat in the summer starting around 7pm, during the school year it's Thurs-Sat same time. I can cater to your schedule! I can take certain nights off if needed, I don't work every night but will need a week advance to take those certain days off.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Kailyn McAninch. I'm a 20-year-old college student currently studying Elementary Education with a focus on Special Education at Iowa State University. I’ve been babysitting since I was about 13, starting with family friends, and I have over 2.5 years of experience working in a daycare setting with children ranging in age from infants to 10 years old.
I also had the amazing opportunity to work as a paraeducator at a high school, where I supported students with special needs—an experience that further fueled my passion for helping children learn and thrive.
I truly love spending time with kids, helping them grow, and getting to know all the special things that make each of them unique. My availability may vary depending on my class schedule, but I’m happy to work with you to find times that fit!

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Ames, IA
Nanny Lane helps you find a weekend nanny in Ames, IA 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 Ames, IA
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.
