A little bit about me
Hello Families,
A little about me: I am a local of Santa Cruz. I am currently a student trying to obtain a long-term goal of my Bachelor’s of Nursing. I am also a CA Certified Medical Assistant; I’ve worked in Family Practice and Pediatrics.
At about 16 I started to work as a full-time assistant for established local preschool serving 10-15 children, ages 2-6+. The daily support included individual and group care. Daily schedule activities included reading, arts and crafts, free play-time, meals prep, and project-based seasonal activities. And of course, connecting and listening to their growing sense of self and wonder and always having lots of good FUN! From there it progressed in to Nanny positions.
I am medically trained in infant, child, adult CPR and First aid.
I am interested in part time to full time work, with a set schedule, with some flexibility. Look forward to hearing more about you and your families individualized needs and what you are looking for.

A little bit about me
Hello! I am 19 years old and I am currently going to college doing online classes majoring in Psychology. I am interested in babysitting so I can earn some extra money to help pay for college. But my main reason is because I love working with children, I currently work part time at the boys and girls club so I have plenty experience working with kids. I am First Aid/CPR certified with the boys and girls club as well. I have been babysitting/nannying for about 5 years. I help with meal preparation, cleaning, creating activities to do, etc. I have done lots of experience with night shifts and help with putting kids to bed as well 😊

A little bit about me
My name is Francesca, but most people call me Frankie. I am a UC Santa Cruz majoring in Cognitive Science with a minor in Legal Studied. I love to do sports and played basketball throughout my entire middle school and high school careers, but I also enjoy spending time indoors. My interests include listening to all kinds of music, watching movies, trying new foods, thrifting, and traveling. I have no paid experience in child care, but I have two younger sisters and many younger cousins that I love to spend time with and have taken care of. I also have volunteering experience working with children from 1st to 8th grade, including children with spectrum disorders. I’m extremely enthusiastic about working with kids and will do whatever it takes to insure the health and safety of your child!

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Tate :) I’m 20 years old & I’m a college student from Ventura, California. I recently moved to Santa Cruz for school & work for a surf camp part time. I love to surf, read, paint & explore! I absolutely love kids. I grew up learning how to take care of kids & be a mentor/friend to each & every one of them that I was around. I was a nanny for a family in Ventura for about a year until they moved to Texas. I’m hoping I can continue to nanny here in Santa Cruz & help your kids grow, learn & succeed while also doing my job!

Nanny Andrea
"We have been lucky enough to have Andrea nanny our one and sometimes two boys. She’s truly a part of the family. She’s always on time, entertaining the boys, and even cleans when the boys are napping. They love her so much they cry when she leaves! Our boys enjoy being outdoors most of the day and require A LOT of energy. I never worry about their safety or comfort. I 10/10 recommend her."
- Laila
Nanny Silvana
"Silvana was a very nurturing nanny. She had the difficult task of being the first nanny to care for my 6 month old son. She knew what to do and helped my son quickly overcome the separation anxiety. She brought him toys and played the flute for him to introduce him to new things. I am very grateful for the care she provided."

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Santa Cruz, CA
Nanny Lane helps you find a weekend nanny in Santa Cruz, CA 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 Santa Cruz, 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.
