A welcoming British family residing in Dubai are seeking an experienced, educated and nurturing Native English-speaking nanny to care for their delightful two and a half year old son. As a couple, they share a deep bond, having been each other’s best friends since they met at university at 18. Their friendship blossomed into romance at 21, and now, at 36, they cherish the values of honesty, open communication, and a banter full spirit that define their little family. Both parents work full-time in financial services, but outside work their little boy is very much the centre of their world.
This is a lovely opportunity for a professional nanny who is passionate about early childhood development and enjoys providing a stimulating, structured and nurturing environment for a young child. The family previously employed a wonderful Norland trained nanny in the UK, who was with them for 18 months, and they are now hoping to find someone equally dedicated, professional and engaging to become a valued part of their family in Dubai.
Their little boy currently attends nursery, so the position is primarily an afternoon weekday role, offering approximately 16 to 24 hours per week. There is domestic help full time in the house, the role does not involve any cleaning, laundry or household work involved. Your time with him is entirely about him. The family are looking for a warm and engaging Nanny to spend a few afternoons each week with their son. They would be very happy to work around someone who already has a role or other commitments in Dubai and is looking for some additional regular hours each week. For them, finding the right person is much more important than fitting into a rigid schedule. The little boy is happy, chatty and very curious. He adores books, splash time, music and dancing, loves being out and about, and is at that lovely age where he is constantly talking, learning new words and wanting to explore everything around him.
Alongside providing excellent childcare, the family would appreciate a nanny who places importance on teaching good manners, etiquette and appropriate discipline from an early age. Someone who can establish positive routines, encourage good behaviour and gently guide the little boy as he develops his social skills and understanding of the world around him would be an excellent fit.
The ideal candidate will be kind, trustworthy, organised and proactive, with a genuine passion for working with toddlers. Excellent communication is particularly important, as the family would like to remain informed about their son’s progress. The successful candidate must be attentive, responsible and understand that the child’s safety and welfare must always remain the highest priority.
This is a live-out position, and candidates must already reside in Dubai and have their own accommodation. The family are specifically seeking someone who is locally based and established in Dubai, rather than someone requiring relocation.
One of the particularly attractive aspects of this opportunity is the flexibility it offers. With the little boy attending nursery, the afternoon working hours and part-time schedule would suit a nanny who may already have other nannying or tutoring commitments that could complement this position. Equally, it would be ideal for someone seeking a well-balanced professional role that allows them to enjoy a rewarding position while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
The family are hoping for the successful candidate to commence in January 2027, although they would be happy to consider an earlier start, including ASAP, for the right person.
This is a wonderful long-term opportunity to join a welcoming, respectful and appreciative British family who value quality childcare and are looking for someone who will become a trusted and consistent presence in their son’s life.
