Weekend Sitter information

What is a weekend sitter?

Weekend sitters are caregivers who look after children, pets, or even homes during the weekends when regular caregivers or parents may be unavailable. Their duties typically include supervising children, preparing meals, organizing activities, and ensuring safety. Weekend sitters may work in private homes or for agencies, and their schedules often include evenings and overnight stays depending on the family's needs. Many families hire weekend sitters for date nights, special events, or to provide parents with a break. Reliable communication, trustworthiness, and experience with children or pets are important qualities for this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend sitter, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Sitter, you need experience in childcare, basic first aid knowledge, and, often, a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with safety protocols and tools such as baby monitors, emergency contact systems, and sometimes CPR certification is beneficial. Strong communication, patience, and reliability are essential soft skills for building trust with both children and parents. These skills ensure a safe, nurturing environment and provide peace of mind to families relying on your care during weekends.

What is the difference between Weekend Sitter vs Babysitter?

AspectWeekend SitterBabysitter
CredentialsMay require CPR/First Aid certificationOften requires CPR/First Aid certification
Work EnvironmentPrimarily weekend and evening hours, in private homesFlexible hours, including days, evenings, and weekends
Employer & Industry UsageFamilies seeking occasional weekend careParents needing regular or occasional child supervision
Search & Comparison IntentPeople looking for weekend-specific child carePeople seeking general child care services

Weekend Sitter and Babysitter roles often overlap, especially in credentials like CPR certification. However, Weekend Sitters typically focus on providing care during weekends and evenings, often for occasional or short-term needs. Babysitters may work more flexibly throughout the week and for regular schedules. Both roles are essential for parents needing reliable child supervision outside standard hours.

What are the typical responsibilities of a weekend sitter, and how do they differ from weekday childcare roles?

A Weekend Sitter is primarily responsible for supervising children during weekends, which often involves more flexible and activity-based care compared to weekday roles. Responsibilities may include organizing creative activities, preparing meals, assisting with bedtime routines, and ensuring a safe, engaging environment while parents are away or occupied. Weekend Sitters may also be asked to supervise playdates, accompany children to extracurricular events, or provide light housekeeping related to the children’s needs. Unlike weekday caregivers, weekend sitters often adapt to varying schedules and may work longer or more irregular hours, requiring adaptability and strong communication with families.

A variety of schedules for work is available, working from 3 - 7 days a week, resulting in 20-40 hours per week. We find work that fits your schedule, whether your schedule is consistent or fluid. When on the job, you'll organize outdoor adventures, sing songs, read books, find opportunities for imaginative play, or just be a buddy. You'll handle naps, meals and schedules. Each day you will make a difference in a child's (and a parent's) life! Now that feels great!
We're Here for Local Families, and We're Here for you:
One of Glassdoor's Top Places to Work, Jovie offers the nation's most respected professional resource for in-home childcare! We've built a supportive, compassionate and extraordinary culture designed to match our amazing caregivers. Our families are awesome, too, so you will love fulfilling our mission of Building Stronger Families. Our in-office support staff means that we're a phone call or a text away and happy to assist however we can, whenever you need us.
Our Sitters Love Our:
  • Flexible Hours. Enter your availability into our mobile app and edit it whenever something comes up! We can work with students with an irregular class schedule, creative professionals who want to take short gigs, and young professionals who need additional income as they work toward the career of their dreams.
  • Networking Opportunities. Our families work at a variety of businesses: from hospitals to universities; tech companies or national retailers, we support families across the country and across all professions. We love hearing about the opportunities presented to our sitters because of the bond they built with the families they work with!
  • Payroll Benefits. Yearly W-2, social security benefits, paid overtime, sick pay, and an earning history used for building and maintaining positive financial history.
  • Agency Standards and Resume-building Employment. Legal protection from harassment, non-payment for hours worked or cancellations, and unsafe working conditions. We've got your back and we stay current with labor and industry standard guidelines.
  • Safe Workplace Environment. As we continue to monitor the progression of COVID-19, our top priority is the health and safety of our caregivers and families. We are following updates and guidance from the CDC, as well as state and local authorities, and staying informed on best practices.

Hey, You Seem Great!
  • Being available to work at least 3 days a week (Monday- Saturday) from 7am-7pm ensures we can provide you with a consistent volume of work. After-school hours are also available. Looking for really part time? We can get you into our weekend sitter program working 4+ hour shifts a few weekend days per month.
  • Your 2 or more years of experience (paid or unpaid!) working with children means you can provide 2 glowing references to tell us about your childcare experience. And, we'll want a character reference as well!
  • You'll have the ability to reach assignments with a safe and reliable vehicle, current First Aid and CPR (or willingness to become certified), up to date vaccinations (including COVID) and a clean background screen.
  • You will want to ensure the safety of the children in your care at all times, and maximize your time with the kiddos with engagement and active attention.
