A little bit about us

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
We are seeking a reliable, nurturing, and professional nanny to care for Hope after school Monday-Thursday and during specific times when our schedules require additional support. Our previous nanny left unexpectedly due to personal circumstances, and we are eager to find the right person to join our family.


Primary Responsibilities:
• Meet Hope after school (either at the school bus drop-off or pick her up from Pioneer Peak Elementary School) and provide care until Alice returns home by 6:00 PM, Monday through Thursday.
• Provide childcare on days when I occasionally travel for work, including mornings
• 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.
• Background check and references required.
• Comfortable in a home with an open floor plan, pets (2 dogs, one cat) and outdoor space for activities.

School aged-children will be at school and the two year old is who I need help with two days a week from around 8a-5p. Morning would look like helping get 8 year old on the bus at 8:45 (Bus stop is across the street from our home-he walks himself, he just needs a little direction getting ready/gone).

8 year old will get home from bus about 4:10, 11 year old will get home depending on after school activities around 4:30.

Husband gets home around 5-6,
and I would get home anywhere from 5-6.

Possibly would need help with picking up 11 yr old eventually in winter around 4p (right now she rides her bike to school).

I make my own schedule and would like to work either Monday, Tuesday, or Tuesday Wednesday, pending nanny availability.
