A little bit about me

Hello! My name is milly, im 19, and I currently clean 4 nights a week, and I’m looking for a day job! I don’t have much professional children’s care experience, but I did grow up in a big family! Not only can I provide attentive care for your kiddos and get to know them, we also can have a lot of fun coming up with new games to play, drawing, coloring, reading, teaching, going on little lunch dates to get out of the house, and on those warmer days going and getting fresh air and going to the park or maybe the pool. I can also help around the house with task like laundry, dishes, organizing kids rooms/toys or just day to day light housecleaning:)

I love kids and I’ve always been around them as I have 2 younger siblings and 4 cousins I always take care of. I worked in the day care at the YMCA but I didn’t get paid enough and we didn’t get enough hours and I’d love to be a nanny, I need any extra money I can get for school to pay my bills. I’m very trustworthy and great with kids. I have several references if needed. Thanks in advance! I’m available most days after classes and I can make it work on the weekends, when date nights are a must!

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.
