Full-Time Wilderness Nanny – Rural Southeast Alaska

This is not your average nanny job.

We are seeking a dedicated, adventurous, and resilient nanny to join our family full-time in rural Alaska. You’ll live and travel alongside a parent and child, spending time off the grid while also having the stability of a townhome on-grid as your base.

A couple will be considered, especially if one partner brings handyman or trade skills as there’s plenty of opportunity for work both in town and on the property.

What the Job Looks Like
Full-time role as nanny and family support
Frequent travel with the parent and child
Long stretches of rural, off-grid, hard living
Regular assistance on a remote property outside of town (think homesteading duties)
Townhome on-grid provided as a city base
Use of a car, home, and food included

Who Thrives Here
Someone who enjoys a wilderness, rural, homesteading lifestyle
Physically active and comfortable with outdoor living, camping, and rugged conditions
Flexible, adaptable, and resourceful in unpredictable settings
Bonus skills: early childhood education or bilingual abilities

Who Should Not Apply
Anyone seeking a standard nanny job in the city
People with no childcare experience
If comfort and convenience are top priorities
If “remote” or “hard living” sounds daunting instead of exciting

Why This Job is Different
This is more than just providing childcare — it’s becoming part of a family and fully embracing the Alaskan wilderness lifestyle. For the right person, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live an adventurous, purpose-driven life in Southeast Alaska.

Prospective start date: October 10th, 2025
This is a paid position, compensation to be determined based on experience.

Hi there,

I would love to learn more if this opportunity is still available! I am currently a forest preschool teacher, and have a decade of experience with children. I am a lover of the outdoors, with strong hands and resilient heart. I have extensive experience with travel & living in a variety of conditions and settings, from city to land. I listen, learn, and love to grow & laugh alongside the people I am around. If this aligns with the both of us, I feel ready to take steps for the adventure of a lifetime.

Blessings,
Bailey
