A little bit about me
My name is Sonata. I’m new to Maine and loving this beautiful state already! I’ve worked as a nanny over the years from [phone number hidden], I have an extensive background in all situations with children , situations that can be difficult. I’m very versatile and easy going but can also set healthy boundaries and implement a teaching moment when necessary. I was a chef and in sales for some time and no longer a chef due to carpel tunnel surgeries just recently . However, I can do meal preps and still enjoy making a great meal! Love the outdoors, great swimmer, adventurous and fun in my own ways! Very adaptive to any scenario and really enjoy being myself ! It’s important that I work with a family that I can build a relationship with over time and watch the family grow !

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 Portland, ME
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.
