A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Autumn Binkowski, a high school senior enrolled in college courses this year. As the eldest of six children, I have significant experience caring for young kids, having been babysitting for about 4-5 years. My hobbies include art and music—I've loved music my whole life and enjoy singing and dancing with children because it spreads happiness and smiles. I also enjoy reading, using games to teach, and having conversations with kids. Working with children brings me joy, especially when I see them learn something new. My empathy helps me understand their needs and feelings—I'm attentive to their emotional well-being and offer support when necessary. My energy, kindness, and honesty make me a dependable caregiver. I prioritize children's safety and well-being; I am CPR-certified, hold a CNA license, and am trained in first aid. My experience as the oldest of six children, combined with my certifications and training, makes me a strong, caring, and dependable caregiver.

A little bit about me
I'm Jenavieve Jackson, a 20-year-old artist and caretaker. I just moved back to Iowa. I love arts and crafts, cooking, and keeping things tidy. I love to go out and enjoy nature & fresh air, so I'll be more than happy to take the kiddos out to their favorite places! I can cook several types of cuisines, including vegan or vegetarian. I play instruments, play some basketball, and love to sing and have fun. Times have been tough with the pandemic where school is concerned, and I'm able to help navigate zoom and help with homework. Math is my favorite subject. :) Let me know if you need any errands done, homework help, or any meals prepared.

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.

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.
