A little bit about us
They are on a shared custody schedule, alternating every other week. Hours are flexible based on how much or how little the right candidate wants to take on, but typically Monday-Friday for approximately 5-8 hours daily.
I’m looking for someone who is interested in helping with care during the weeks my kids are with me, and possibly some help on the weeks they aren’t, with light house duties and animal care.
I work full time and am in law school, both of which require some amount of travel. There may be a need for someone to travel with my kids and I, (expenses covered) or to stay overnight for the custodial time. I do have a mother in law apartment that is furnished, or a guest bedroom.
As far as care goes - I’m looking for someone to assist with managing their schoolwork, helping with meals, and some tidying/household chores (mostly helping the kids with routines).
I have two cats - French Fry and Potato, and a dog, Angus.
My son does have a bleeding disorder that is mostly self managed but it will be important to understand it. Both kids have struggles with distractions, and need gentle re-direction efforts.
Pay will be dependent upon the amount of responsibility the person I hire is interested in taking on, all of which can be discussed. If there is interest in living on property, that can also be discussed as part of the compensation. It’s a full, separate house, furnished, with a dishwasher and washer/dryer in unit, with a separate driveway.
Being able to teach piano, and Spanish speaking candidates would be a plus, and the ability to transport the kids to and from activities for their homeschool would be a great help.

Currently part time at 30-35hrs but can potentially be full time in future. There are weeks she travels for work and will need a minimum of 40 hours. Some light tidying up such as folding baby clothes and cleaning baby bottles. We have one high-energy dog who's very friendly and loves to play. If weather permits we typically do a short walk daily with the dog and baby. This is a payroll position and will be paid overtime if over 40 hours a week or over 8 hours a day.

Types of Nanny Jobs and Nanny Responsibilities in Alaska
Before you start looking for a nanny job, it's essential to learn about the different types of nannies and how they compare to each other so that you make sure you’re looking for the right opportunities.
The different types of nanny jobs have different nanny responsibilities. The boundaries for nannies duties vary from family to family. However, in general, a nanny is responsible for making sure the children's needs are met, including things like ensuring they have opportunities to play and be active. When tasks go beyond child care, for example, housekeeping or meal preparation, it’s good practice to make sure your expectations are aligned with the family.
There are temporary nanny jobs, even seasonal nanny jobs like summer nanny jobs. Beyond seasonal and temporary nanny positions, there are differences between full-time and part-time nanny jobs. The primary difference being the number of hours you spend at your nanny job every week. For full-time nannies, there are options for live in nanny positions and live-out positions in Alaska. Live-out positions are more common, but each family has their own set of needs that require different types of care, and live in nanny positions can be exactly what some families want. If you're looking to explore live in nanny positions, it's even more important to create a shared set of expectations around hours, responsibilities, and what is expected of you when you're not on the clock.
If you're exploring other types of jobs beyond nanny positions, consider looking into cleaning jobs, pet sitting jobs, luxury fashion jobs, or elder care jobs.
How to Interview for a Nanny Job in Alaska

The nanny job interview is an excellent opportunity to get aligned on the nanny job expectations. By doing this, you can get off on the right foot with your future employer.
