About the Family:

We are a loving, active family in Minnetonka looking for an experienced, reliable, and compassionate full-time nanny to join our team! We have three wonderful children:

• 6.5-year-old son
• 4.5-year-old daughter
• 1.5-year-old son (Dairy allergy)

In this role, you will help guide our morning routine, getting our oldest ready and onto the school bus, while caring for our younger two children at home during the day. Your afternoon will involve welcoming our oldest son home, managing after-school routines, and handling light household support to keep our home running smoothly.

• Enrichment: Plan engaging, age-appropriate activities and developmental play for the younger children.
• Special Needs Support: Apply patient, structured limits and supportive techniques tailored to our son’s needs.
• Safety & Health: Manage daily hygiene routines, bathing, and strictly accommodate our youngest child’s dairy allergy.

Household Support & Meal Prep:

• Children's Care: Prepare daily meals and snacks (keeping allergy safety in mind) and assist with children's laundry and tidying up toys.
• Family Dinners: Prepare family dinners 2–3 nights a week, when possible.
• Light Housekeeping: Maintain daily tidiness including washing dishes, sweeping, and vacuuming.
• Errands & Shopping: Run occasional small family errands and handle grocery shopping as needed.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experience: Proven professional nanny or childcare experience, with a demonstrated understanding of special needs care.
• Traits: Punctual, reliable, firm yet loving with boundary-setting, and someone who genuinely delights in spending time with children.
• Requirements: Valid driver’s license, a clean driving record, reliabletransportation, and CPR/First Aid certification (or willingness to obtain).
