A little bit about me

I've dedicated over 20 years to childcare. It began with helping care for my brother as a child, leading to formal roles, including obtaining a Red Cross babysitter's certificate. As a homeschooler, I balanced education with part-time nanny work. This commitment continued through college, where I pursued a degree in education while working as a live-in nanny and later teaching preschool at Waldorf schools.

After starting a family of my own, I ran a successful home daycare for three years, fostering the growth of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Embracing the philosophy of self-directed education, I co-founded an outdoor forest program during the pandemic, reinforcing my passion for nature-based learning.

Aside from childcare, I enjoy domestic arts like cleaning, cooking, and organizing. Now, I'm eager to bring my extensive experience to a family seeking a nurturing caregiver for their baby. I'm interested in a live-in nanny role.

Recent reference

"We love Ray. They are exceptionally grounded, peaceful, and attuned to the needs of children. They create a felt sense of safety for children in many ways, such as: respectful communication, empathy, gently holding boundaries, employing play and storytelling, and developing a rhythm for the day that meets children’s needs. We love that they used anatomically correct words for genitals while toileting, emphasized consent, respected our child’s pronouns and evolving sense of gender, and helped our child co-regulate when they needed it. Ray is versed in many progressive, best-practice methods and theories of childcare and child learning. They are a creative thinker and problem solver. They are detailed oriented and remember the little things about your kiddo, and spin that into their overall approach. With Ray, I felt confident that my child was in safe hands. We know how rare it is to find someone like Ray in this work. If you have the opportunity to work with Ray, you are fortunate."

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 Waldoboro, 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.
