A little bit about me

I have 10 months of hands-on experience working in a childcare center, where I cared for children ranging from just 8 weeks old to 5 years old. During that time, I’ve learned how to support each child’s unique needs and personality, and I truly enjoy being part of their growth and daily routines.

I love spending time playing, interacting, and building connections with children—whether that’s through games, reading, or simply making them feel safe and cared for. I’m very comfortable with diaper changes, feeding, and keeping a clean, organized environment, and I always make sure each child is happy and comfortable.

I’m patient, dependable, and able to stay calm through challenges, but what matters most to me is creating a warm, nurturing space where children feel secure, supported, and excited to learn and play

How to Hire a Weekend Nanny in Des Moines, IA

Nanny Lane helps you find a weekend nanny in Des Moines, IA 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 Des Moines, 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.
