A little bit about me
Hi, There! I'm a 47yr single mom with past nanny experience in the Chicagoland area. I have had my own home daycare as well. I currently work as a Medical Laboratory Technician but love working with children so I'm looking for an opportunity that fits my current lifestyle. I have great references, CPR certified, love crafts, own my own transportation for outings. Light housekeeping and meal prep are okay. My own children are old enough to take care of themselves while I'm at work and rarely need days off.

A little bit about me
Hello, I'm Sophia Clark! I’m 20 years old! I’m starting esthetician school in November and I’m also a licensed nail technician! In my free time, you'll find me relishing quality moments with my friends and family, doing my nails, and skincare routines. And, of course, there's always room for some retail therapy. I love children and I’m told I’m great with them, so what’s better than being a nanny?! I would also like to add, I’m not yet CPR certified but I would love to be. I did complete a course in high school but I unfortunately let it expire. I’m so excited to meet you and your family. Thanks for visiting my profile! Hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me
I’m Caroline! I’m 26 years old, new to the Chicago area, and someone who loves working with children. I have 3 years of experience working as an elementary school substitute teacher, as well as several years of experience as the neighborhood babysitter— since I was in middle school! I’ve worked mostly with children ages 4-10, but am comfortable with littler ones! I can change diapers, do school drop offs, entertain a toddler, or simply keep company with an older kid “too cool” for a babysitter/nanny. Whatever you need!
I earned my bachelor’s degree from University of California, Santa Barbara, and my Master’s in Library and Information Science from San Jose State University.
**I am not currently CPR/First Aid certified, but have been in the past year— it just recently expired. I am working to get certified again!

"Ruby was the most flexible and patient nanny I have ever had! She made my kids so happy and they waited for her to arrive everyday. Ruby would take my kids to the park, get them ice cream, and let my kids convince her to play any game🤣 I just became a stay-at-home mom, so I no longer need a nanny. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions on Ruby, but I would 100% recommend!!"

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Bella and I am a senior in high school. I offer babysitting, dog watching/sitting, and home care services.
I developed a passion for working for kids through a class I took in my Sophomore year of high school. I went on to earn my Early Childhood Education Level 1 credential and move into working with kids professionally. Last summer I worked as a camp counselor for a fitness club. I also work in the Kids Academy (daycare), and aquatics teaching swim lessons. I had also previously had 3 years of babysitting neighborhood families. These kids were aged 3-8.
I am open to flexible hours but prefer a set schedule as it helps me plan more.
My strong points include homework help, cooking, and cleaning. I have reliable transportation to and from wherever I need to be.
Hope to be speaking to some parents out there soon!

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Downers Grove, IL
Nanny Lane helps you find a weekend nanny in Downers Grove, IL 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 Downers Grove, 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.
