  • Ability to follow directions from supervisors and work collaboratively with team members.
  • Strong interpersonal communication skills.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
  • Complete required childcare, First Aid, and CPR training prior to first day (online links provided); complete required staff development hours annually.

  • Starting pay: $19.08/hr effective July 1, 2025; increasing to $19.65/hr effective July 1, 2026.
  • $0.60 split shift differential applies.
  • Not eligible for medical or dental benefits.
  • Eligible for Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) in accordance with Minnesota law.
Location & Shift Times:
  • Location: Elementary buildings (Minnetonka School District).
  • Schedule: Monday–Friday, flexible hours, 12 months per year (two-day minimum).
  • Morning shift: 6:30–9:30 AM  |  Afternoon shift: 1:00–6:00 PM.
  • Start Date: August 24, 2026.

If you are enthusiastic, flexible, and passionate about working with children and believe you have the qualities we seek, we would love to hear from you. Apply today!
