In the first shot, Alexander sported a wide-eyed expression as he cradled a twin in each arm on a bed.
Derek's second shot featured the Succession cast member smiling while he took the children for a walk in a double-decker stroller.
Skarsgard kept it casual in the shots and sported a zip-up jacket and jeans while spending time with his friend's children.
Several of the pair's pals left humorous messages in the post's comments section, with Alexander's Big Little Lies costar Reese Witherspoon writing: 'My kind of Nanny!'
Julianne Moore also described Skarsgard's nannying skills as 'the best.'
