Part-Time Nanny Job: The Kenneally Family with 1 Child
About Our Family
We are a warm, welcoming family who recently relocated to Palmer in February 2025. We live in a beautiful, spacious home with an open floor plan and a large yard in a safe, quiet, and family-friendly neighborhood. Our 7-year-old daughter, Hope, is a bright, kind, and well-mannered child with excellent communication skills and a love for learning. My wife, Alice, is a healthcare provider from England, working in the Mat-Su Valley. I am a retired U.S. Marine, now commuting full-time to Anchorage for work.
Job Description

• Occasional evening care for date nights (flexible scheduling).
• Optional: For nannies seeking additional hours, we offer the opportunity to clean our home for a full 8-hour day once a week at the same competitive rate.
Requirements:
• Experience in childcare, preferably with school-aged children.
• Reliable, punctual, and professional with excellent communication skills.
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record (if picking Hope up from school).
• Ability to engage with a bright, academically inclined child through activities, homework support, or play.
