A little bit about me
I have worked with children for the past 8 years in childcare facilities, after school programs, and most recently as a middle school social worker. I work with special education students on a daily basis, so I am very comfortable with all children. In my free time, I enjoy playing with my puppy, watching movies, and drinking lots and lots of coffee!

A little bit about me
My name is Amber, and I’m currently a junior at Minnesota State University Mankato, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Child Development and Family Studies. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 and have spent the last two summers working as a full-time nanny.
I’m currently looking for an after-school nanny position for the upcoming school year! I’m passionate about creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for kids—whether that means helping with homework, driving to activities, spending time outside, or doing creative projects (and yes, I love baking too!).
Location: Based in Mankato and willing to drive up to 15 minutes—or a bit farther for the right fit!
Pay: $17–$20/hour depending on the number of kids and ages
Certifications: CPR, First Aid, and Babysitter Certified
If you’re looking for a dependable, energetic, and engaging nanny to support your family after school, I’d love to connect!

How to Hire an After-School Nanny in Mankato, MN

We offer nanny services including background checks, Agency, and nanny payroll. Start by posting a profile with a job description, and soon you can start connecting with nannies who fit your family.
What Is an After-School Nanny?
An after-school nanny cares for school-age children on weekday afternoons, usually from school pickup until a parent gets home. It is a part-time role with a regular schedule, which suits nannies who want a consistent shorter day.
Common Responsibilities of After-School Nannies in Mankato, MN
After-school nannies pick up children from school or the bus stop, give them a snack, and help with homework. They also take children to activities and lessons, supervise play, and may prepare dinner or tidy up after the children before a parent arrives.
What to Consider Before You Hire
Share your school's dismissal time, the days you need care, and how you will handle early dismissals, holidays, and school breaks. Confirm whether you need the nanny to drive, and whether they would be comfortable transporting several children. A regular schedule makes it easier to find a good fit.
After-School Nanny Interview Questions
Once you find a promising candidate, invite them for an interview to see if they would be a great fit for your family. Here are some questions you can ask:
- Are you available at our school's dismissal time every weekday?
- Do you have a car, and are you comfortable driving children to activities?
- How would you handle homework and screen time?
- What would you do if a child was sick or hurt?
- Do you have experience with school-age children?
At this stage, request their references and ask their references some questions. After preparing the job offer or contract, we recommend that you run a background check before the start date.
