With Just In Time Teachers, you get to spend meaningful days with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers while choosing the days and times you’re available to work. Whether you want a few days a week or a full schedule, this role flexes around you. We ask that our team is available a minimum of 16 hours per week, Monday through Friday between 6:30am and 6:00pm, so we can reliably support the classrooms that depend on us.

We support child care centers across the Twin Cities Metro and surrounding areas when their teachers are out, classrooms need extra hands, or long-term placements are needed. That means your work directly helps keep classrooms open, routines stable, and children cared for by someone kind, capable, and confident.

What your days look like: Each day may be a little different, but you will always be stepping into a classroom where you are truly needed. You will:

• Create a safe, warm, and engaging space for children
• Support routines like playtime, meals, naps, diapering, and clean-up
• Jump into activities and lessons to keep the day running smoothly
• Work alongside directors and teachers to support their classrooms
• Be a calm, dependable presence for little learners

Why this is different: We are not a large corporate staffing company where you are just a name on a schedule. Just In Time Teachers is a small, close-knit teaching community built around supporting real educators. You are known, valued, and supported here. Our admin team brings over 50 years of combined experience in early childhood education, and we are available to coach you through classroom challenges, behavior support, center expectations, and professional growth. Whether you need advice, reassurance, or next steps, you have a team in your corner.

Who we are looking for: We are looking for people who care deeply about children and show up when it matters. You might be a great fit if you are:

• Studying or experienced in early childhood education
• Retired and looking to stay active in the field
• Reliable, flexible, and comfortable jumping into new classrooms
• Patient, positive, and ready to help wherever needed

At Just In Time Teachers, we are not just filling shifts. We are raising early childhood staffing standards by providing excellence, quality care, and peace of mind to centers, families, and communities.
