A little bit about us
This means you:
Are positive and patient and want to have fun 1:1 with them based on what they are interested in and by following their lead.
Can pick up on non-verbal cues and behavior as communication.
Can redirect behavior if needed in a positive way without escalation and show compassion.
Are able to physically move quickly to keep up with them and keep them safe. Have awareness of safety.
They are both school aged. One child can speak but is not conversational and one has emerging speech. Both love being outside, playing with water, singing and music, Disney movies, reading, swinging and tumbling and playing on their tablets. They love to laugh and show their goofy sides, especially once they get to know people.
Availability: Some evenings after 4:00 pm and weekends. One weeknight shift of 2-3 hours and one weekend shift 4-6 hours. In July and August, some morning hours available between 7:00 and 11. Somewhat flexible on days.
To start, shifts will be in our home with a parent at home for guidance a few hours a week to establish relationships and trust. After that, some community experiences may be possible or you may be left alone.
Each shift you will be responsible to work 1:1 with one child at a time. Another PCA may also be there working 1:1 with the other child.
Upon hire, you must pass a background check and be fingerprinted to work for us. This is of no cost to you. Payment will be through payroll, and mileage reimbursed if transporting them.
Perks: Wage increases and stipends available for additional training and longevity. Great experience for someone going into education, healthcare or psychology.

A special needs nanny focuses on caring for children with special needs. You’ll be responsible for creating individualized care and activities that combine both consistency and stimulation. The family you’re caring for will have schedules and preferences to share with you to ensure that their child receives the best care possible.
Preparing for a Special Needs Nanny Job Interview in Minnesota
Once you start connecting with prospective employers, the next step is a special needs nanny job interview. Here is a list of some infant nanny interview questions to prepare for:
- What is your specific experience with this diagnosis?
- Can you tell us about your experiences with children with special needs?
- Do you have any Minnesota special training?
- What would you do if an emergency arises?
- How strictly do you usually follow a schedule with children with special needs?
At this stage, you should come prepared with references from past special needs nanny jobs. It is a great opportunity to see how you fit in with the family and ask any questions about the responsibilities or compensation. To ensure everyone has a shared understanding of the role and responsibilities; we recommend asking for a job offer or a nanny contract.
