About The Position

A family of four in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, is seeking a patient, reliable, flexible, and positive caregiver for their two energetic boys, ages 4 years and 1 year. The family is laid-back and active, enjoys planning activities and spending time together, and is looking for someone who will be actively engaged with the children and comfortable participating in activities such as swimming. The role primarily involves attentive afternoon care for the family’s 10-month-old son. The caregiver will plan age-appropriate activities, support developmental milestones, take walks and spend time outdoors, and manage meals and daily routines. When the 4-year-old is home from school or has a day off, the caregiver will also engage him in fun, age-appropriate play and activities. During nap times, the role shifts to home management, including light cleaning, playroom organization, children’s laundry, meal preparation, small household projects, and occasional errands. The family is open to additional hours and occasional date-night support. The schedule is Monday through Thursday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The position offers guaranteed hours, starts as soon as the right fit is identified, and ideally requires a commitment of at least one year. Starting pay is $28 per hour.
