You can hire a weekend nanny to take on a lot of the same responsibilities that a normal nanny handles, but you hire them specifically to work on the weekend. For example, a weekend nanny can play games with your children like they would to entertain them on a weekday, but would simply do so on the weekend while you run errands or go out for a date night. Some people work on the weekends and may need consistent weekend care, which is where having a reliable weekend nanny can really come in handy.
On Care.com, finding a weekend nanny is simple. All you have to do is search for weekend nannies near you and then you can review different profiles until you find a nanny with the experience level you’re looking for and who offers the types of services that are a priority for you such as cooking or light housework.
We request that all weekend nannies on Care.com complete an annual background check called a CareCheck, and if they complete it then there is a badge on their profile that states the date the background check was run. However, we recommend conducting an independent background check to find a weekend nanny near you that you feel confident you can trust.
Figuring out how much to pay a nanny for a weekend depends on the hourly rate they charge and how many hours of care you need in a weekend. The average national hourly rate for weekend nannies on Care.com is $20.82, but this rate can vary based on factors like location and if you want them to stay overnight.
Weekend nannies can help with a wide variety of caregiving responsibilities from making sure children go to bed on time, to feeding them, to helping them get their homework done so they can enjoy the rest of their weekend without having to worry about their schoolwork.
