A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Clarina and I am a fun, caring 27 year old. I love interacting with children of all ages and enjoy watching them grow. It is my top priority to make your child feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand the great influence that caregivers have on children and I do my best to be an excellent example to them by communicating and treating them with respect. I bring a nurturing spirit and find great value in using encouraging and kind words around all my children. I have been with my current nanny family for 3.5 years (she is now 4) but is in school full time so starting to look for another family that I can love on and grow with.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Katelyn Lisi and I'm a reliable and experienced babysitter. I'm a proud Girl Scout graduate, which means I was trained early in leadership, responsibility, safety, and service-skills I've carried into every job I take on. From learning first aid to managing group activities and earning badges in everything from cooking to problem-solving, Girl Scouts gave me a strong foundation in working with others and staying prepared.

I've worked with kids in church care programs and have babysat for a family with three children ranging in age from 1 to 6. I'm confident caring for multiple kids, managing routines, and keeping things calm even when the day is a bit unpredictable.

I'm also a student-athlete and softball player, so I understand the importance of teamwork, time management, and staying composed under pressure. I have a valid driver's license and can help with transportation, light housework, homework, and more.

I look forward to meeting your family!

A little bit about me

My name is Sasha Alvarez and am currently a 3rd year at the University of California, Santa Barbara! From babysitting within my own family and community to coaching surfing for Sea League, I've found immense joy in nurturing and guiding young minds. One of my passions is fostering bilingualism, as I am fluent in Spanish and English. Being CPR certified ensures that I can handle any situation with calmness and competence. Additionally, I actively run an outreach program for younger students, which has deepened my understanding of child development and the importance of individualized care.

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 Barbara, 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.
