Nanny for Dubai

Job Specification

Expat in Dubai is seeking a professional and experienced Nanny to join their dynamic and busy household. The family, with three children aged 10, 8, and 4, values a nurturing and proactive approach to care. The children are enrolled in an international IB British Curriculum school, and the role will involve providing educational and emotional support to ensure they thrive academically and socially. The family is in the process of relocating to the Arabian Ranches area, where the position will include accommodation in a private, self-contained annexe on-site.

This is a full-time, live-in role requiring availability six days per week, with 12-hour working days. The family is looking for someone who can start as soon as possible, ideally a candidate already based in the UAE, however not essential. A competitive salary of £1100 - £1253 per week (57k - 65k per annum) is offered, along with the standard benefits, including one annual return flight home.

The successful candidate will provide attentive care tailored to the needs of the three children. This includes support for an 8-year-old boy with ADD and a 10-year-old girl with Dyslexia. The role involves assisting with schoolwork, organisational skills, and extra-curricular activities while fostering an engaging and enriching environment for all three children. As an integral part of the household, the candidate will also contribute to daily routines, including preparing nutritious meals, managing wardrobes, and ensuring the smooth operation of the family’s busy schedule.

The family values a candidate who is adaptable, highly organised, and capable of integrating seamlessly into family life. They are looking for someone physically active, energetic, and enthusiastic about sports and outdoor activities, as these are an important part of the children’s routine. Strong experience in special educational needs, particularly with ADD and Dyslexia, is essential. A "can-do" attitude and a proactive approach to problem-solving are key traits the family is seeking.

Driving is an important aspect of the role. The candidate must be a confident and experienced driver, capable of safely operating an SUV for school runs, activities, and appointments. A valid UAE driving license, or the ability to obtain one, is required.

The family seeks a professional with at least seven years of experience in similar roles, preferably with busy families or expatriate households. Longevity in previous positions is important, as the family values continuity of care and a stable environment for their children. In return, the role offers the chance to work with a warm and welcoming family in a vibrant setting, with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the lives of the children.
