A little bit about us
My son would benefit from quality 1:1 time with someone who is patient, playful, and genuinely enjoys engaging with children. I’d love someone who will play games, read, do crafts or activities, spend time outside, and keep him actively involved.
I’m specifically looking for screen-free care, no tablets, video games, or electronics during your time together. I also ask that personal cell phone use be kept to a minimum, aside from emergencies or communicating with me.
Most importantly, I’m looking for someone caring, attentive, reliable, and present who can build a positive connection with him and give him genuine one-on-one attention.

We are looking for someone with weekend availability to watch the kids at least three Saturdays a month ideally from 1-4pm so me and my guy can have some date time.
We have a fun backyard with lots to do and a trail right out the back. You would probably be a great fit if you are down to jump on the trampoline, carry a baby around, and have some kind of craft activity in mind to keep the girls occupied.
We also have dogs around, so while we don't expect you to do much with them we do need you to be comfortable around them.
We might occasionally like to include other kids at this time (two neighborhood girls the same age or our 5yr old niece), which would increase the hourly rate and hopefully be something you would be comfortable with.
I'm also pregnant so will be looking for extra support in the next coming months!
So if you truly love kids and are down to leave your phone in your pocket while you're here (we don't do screens at our house and do not allow the kids to look at phones, very strict about this) and be present, please get in touch!
*And please, write your own response! AI might be convenient, but I'd much rather read from YOU! 😊

What Are Weekend Nanny Jobs?
Weekend nanny jobs are positions that cover Saturdays, Sundays, or both. Some families need a regular weekend nanny, and others only need help on certain weekends for work, travel, or events. Weekend jobs suit nannies who want extra income alongside another job, students, and anyone who prefers a part-time schedule.
Types of Weekend Nanny Jobs and Responsibilities
Weekend nanny jobs range from a regular weekly shift to a handful of planned weekends a year. Some are a few hours on a Saturday afternoon, and others are a full day or an overnight. Responsibilities can include meals, play and outings, nap and bedtime routines, and light tidying related to the children. Read each posting for the dates, hours, and expectations before you reply.
How to Interview for Weekend Nanny Jobs
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a nanny job interview. Here are some questions you should ask:
- Which weekends and hours do you need, and is the schedule regular?
- How much notice will you give me for one-off weekends?
- Will I be at your home, or taking the children to activities and outings?
- How will I be paid, and by what day?
- What are the children's ages and routines?
Beyond asking these questions, families will want you to have your nanny references ready and ask any questions to show initiative. The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
