FAQs for finding a weekend nanny near you in Plainfield, NJ

To find a weekend nanny near you in Plainfield, NJ, you can search through 3 weekend nanny profiles to learn more about their hourly rates and to check out reviews from families who worked with them in the past.

How much it costs to hire a weekend nanny near you in Plainfield, NJ depends on a few factors. To start, it will cost much more to hire a nanny for a whole weekend than to hire one for a few hours, so it can be helpful to plan your budget around how much care you need for a weekend—especially if you want them to spend the night. Rates can vary due to factors like their years of experience and where you live, but typically weekend nanny rates near you are $18.33 per hour.

To start, it can help to ask a potential weekend nanny, when interviewing candidates near you in Plainfield, NJ, about their availability to make sure they can work the hours you need. Then, it’s a good idea to ask about their experience and how they would handle certain situations—such as resolving a fight between siblings. It can also be a good idea to ask them if they have any references you can contact.

When you hire a nanny on weekends, you can ask them to tackle a variety of different responsibilities. Alongside taking care of your children, they may be willing to help with cooking or light housework (like doing the kids’ laundry). Asking what responsibilities they feel comfortable taking on is another great topic to bring up in an interview. You can review 3 profiles for weekend nanny near you in Plainfield, NJ to get an idea of what responsibilities they tend to handle.

All weekend nannies near you in Plainfield, NJ found on Care.com are asked to complete a CareCheck, which is an annual background check. Their profile will have a badge on it that states if they completed this background check and when they completed it. However, we strongly advise you take your own steps to safely hire a weekend nanny, such as doing your own independent background check and requesting references from other families they worked with.
