"Lulu had great work ethic, positive energy, was promt and adored by our children. She was a babysitter to our two girls who were then 6 months and 4 years old and our son 6 years old. She worked part time for us when my wife and I were away for work. We were sorry to see her go when she moved cities but we highly recommend her as a sitter/Nanny."

"We can’t say enough wonderful things about Sarah. From the very first day, she brought calm, confidence, and genuine love into our home. She is so much more than a nanny; she is a natural caregiver who truly understands children and meets them where they are. Sarah is patient, creative, and deeply attuned to each child’s emotional and developmental needs. Our kids absolutely adore her. Whether she is engaging them in imaginative play, helping with schoolwork, or guiding daily routines, she does everything with warmth and structure. She turns everyday moments into meaningful opportunities for learning and connection. Sarah is also incredibly reliable, organized, and proactive, keeping our home running smoothly with kindness and grace. She quickly became part of our family, and we trust her completely. Any family fortunate enough to have Sarah will see how exceptional she is: steady, nurturing, and wholeheartedly devoted."

"Gwendolyn was very considerate of my preferences, ensuring to follow through on how I wanted things done for my son. She was quick to respond to texts I sent throughout the day, always responding positively and kindly. She gave thorough updates at the end of the day on how my sons day went. She confidently watched two 1 year olds (nanny share) simultaneously, and did not get overwhelmed by my sons separation anxiety and crying. She has good communication skills, conveying in advance any schedule needs or changes."

A little bit about me
The prompt said to keep it short and sweet, and well, that is exactly what I am! I am about 4'11 and a very enthusiastic nanny that loves to get the kids interacted in games indoors and outdoors. I have a major passion for art, so I always try to involve crafts into the day. I have a dream to use art in a therapeutic setting in order to help a child gain insight into how their mind works and how they can better control it! I enjoy playing games outside and keeping the screen time to a minimum. I am willing to work with all ages and can handle four to six kids with ease. I do not mind having a list of chores, errands, and meal prep during the week and can provide occasional weekend assistance as well. My goal is to provide as much peace for your home as I can manage. I am willing to learn and accommodate however I can aswell.

A little bit about me
I'm Trina! With 11 years of experience in babysitting and 7 years as a full-time nanny, I have developed a profound understanding and love for this profession. I'm 25 and have worked with children of all ages, which has greatly enriched my life and the lives of the families I have worked with. My approach to childcare is one that encompasses kindness, love and reliability. I strive to create a nurturing environment that encourages children to grow, explore, and express themselves creatively. Each childcare experience is an opportunity to discover new aspects of child development and education. This outlook has not only allowed me to provide better care but has also instilled a sense of curiosity and adventure in the children I work with. I'd describe my personality as loving, fun, and resilient. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my friends and travel! I love cooking, art, music, and spending time outdoors as much as possible. I'm always down for an adventure, planned or not!

"Trina was an amazing nanny to my son! Not only was she super proactive and a self starter, but she was also extremely kind and caring with my son. She taught him a lot of things before he started daycare which genuinely gave him such a head start already. Trina cares so deeply about the kids she works with and has been such a life saver in my husband and I’s lives. She’s become family. We have appreciated our time with such an important and amazing person that we feel lucky to have been able to have with us!"

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 Chicago, IL
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.
