A little bit about us
Hi there! I am looking for the Mary Poppins of Alaska - aka some help with my two awesome kids, who are both 11 and currently being homeschooled.
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.

I am looking for care for my son, who is 10 years old. I work from 3-11:30pm and my elderly mother lives with us. I am hiring a nonsmoker who is able to help my son with getting up and ready for school at Ravenwood Elementary in Eagle River. He can ride the bus or travel with you. Ryan will be having some occupational and speech therapy appointments during the afternoons. The ideal candidate will have experience tutoring and working with kids with ADHD and/or autism. I need help with picking my son up from school or after school program, getting dinner ready and cleaned up on days I work. My son could use some help with homework, and bedtime routine (reminding to take a shower and brush teeth) Experience College degree or some college is preferred. The days that I am scheduled to work change often. Flexibility is important for this position. I am open to splitting this work up between people if need be. Hours would include mornings before school and after school on days I work which fall between Monday and Friday. Some early dismissal times may be needed depending on OT and speech therapy schedule.

I am a single dad who works 12hr shifts as a dispatcher. I am looking for part time in-home care during the summer months while school is out. The home will have 1 other special needs adult and an retired gentleman who will be available occasionally to help out. My oldest son is special needs (ASD) and non-verbal with some sensory issues. He loves being outdoors, physical play, affection/squeezing, and water play. During the summer my oldest will be participating in extended school year 2020 and will be bused to and from the home. I am needing someone to be available to help him get ready for school and on the bus as well as collect him off the bus. So likely between the hours of 12-4PM (M-F) all summer long. I am willing to participate in nanny share.
