Summer Nanny for a 12 and 7 year old girls

Jovie • Minnetonka, MN

5d • $22 • Onsite

About The Position

A bit about us: We are a busy and active family of four, Mom, Dad, and our two daughters, ages 12 and 7. We live across the street from a park and near a regional trail system, so there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor adventures. Our days are often filled with swimming practice, dance, and staying on the move, but we love coming together to talk about the girls’ interests and favorite activities. As a family, we enjoy traveling and exploring new places, and we’re always excited to plan our next trip, often while sharing a meal and trying new foods together. When we slow down, both girls love curling up with a good book and getting lost in a story. In the summer especially, you’ll usually find us outside or enjoying time in our pool, which we use almost every day. A bit about you: We are looking for a caregiver who is confident, engaging, and comfortable supporting two active tween girls. Because we have a pool at our home, comfort around water and strong pool safety awareness are essential. Our ideal candidate has experience working with the “tween” age group and understands the unique energy, personalities, and independence that come with this stage. We would love someone who enjoys helping prepare lunches and snacks, is happy to collaborate on ingredients for special meals the girls want to make, and can encourage fun, non-screen activities like visiting the park across the street, taking walks, going to the library, swimming, or jumping on the trampoline. You should be comfortable working independently while maintaining open communication with us asking questions and reaching out when needed. A good sense of humor, a positive attitude, and a thick skin are helpful when navigating tween dynamics! Bonus points if you’re always up for a dance party and enjoy helping with things like hair, makeup, and picking out fun outfits together.
