Part-Time After School Nanny Position in Eden Prairie, MN

Family Location: Eden Prairie

About Us

We are an active, close-knit family of six—Mom, Dad, a 9-year-old girl, an 8-year-old boy, a 6-year-old girl, and a 4-year-old boy—along with our playful German Shepherd. We value both learning and adventure, striving to create a home where curiosity, kindness, and meaningful experiences go hand in hand. You'll often find us reading together, exploring new ideas, or enjoying quiet afternoons, but we also love getting out to experience all our community has to offer.

Family time is incredibly important to us. We enjoy eating dinner together, staying involved in one another's lives, and making the most of our time as a family. Our children genuinely enjoy being together and have wonderful relationships with one another. With busy schedules, there’s always an activity, outing, or adventure on the calendar, so we appreciate someone who is organized, adaptable, and ready to jump into the day alongside us.

Above all, we are raising thoughtful, compassionate children. We encourage open conversations about feelings, empathy, and treating others with kindness while fostering independence, curiosity, and a love of learning. We’re looking for a nanny who shares these values and is excited to become a positive, supportive presence in our family’s daily life.

About You

We are looking for a trustworthy, energetic, and engaging nanny who is excited to become a meaningful part of our family’s lives. Our ideal candidate has the energy and enthusiasm to keep up with four active children while creating a fun, structured, and nurturing environment. We value someone who is warm and caring, yet confident in setting clear boundaries, maintaining consistent expectations, and providing gentle guidance when needed.

A strong candidate will be comfortable supporting our screen-free approach to parenting. We rarely use screens and instead encourage creativity, reading, outdoor play, and hands-on activities. We’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys being present with children—whether that’s reading aloud, playing catch, building forts, joining a board game, cheering them on as they show off a new skill, or laughing along as they tell jokes, dance, and be silly. We want someone who isn’t just supervising from the sidelines but actively participating in their day.

Because transportation is part of the role, a safe and reliable driver is essential. Most importantly, we hope to find someone looking for more than just a temporary position. We’d love to build a long-term relationship with a nanny who can grow with our family, return year after year, and become a trusted, dependable presence in our children’s lives.
