About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
A Calm, Capable Pair of Hands for Two Very Small People
Two nine-month-olds. Two sets of tiny socks. Two nap schedules that may or may not sync up on any given day. If you've cared for infant twins before, you already know exactly what that sentence means — and you're probably smiling a little. We're a family in Sharjah looking for a live-in nanny to focus entirely on our twin babies: feeding, bathing, naps, and the endless small rituals of daily baby care. This isn't a household-everything role; it's a baby role, done well.
About Us
We're a warm, straightforward family, and our home runs best on routine and calm. The twins are nine months old and into everything — grabbing, babbling, testing out the world one wobbly reach at a time. We believe in gentle, responsive care and in treating the person who looks after our children as part of the family, with respect and clear communication both ways. No drama, no moving goalposts — just a steady home where everyone knows what's expected.
What You'll Be Doing
- Taking full day-to-day care of both babies: feeding, bathing, dressing, and keeping them clean, comfortable, and content
- Managing naps and sleep routines — and yes, juggling two tired babies at once with patience and a sense of humor
- Preparing bottles and baby meals, and keeping feeding times calm and unhurried
- Watching over their safety every moment they're in your care, at home and on outings
- Keeping their room, toys, and feeding things tidy and organized
- Noting the little things — a new tooth, a skipped nap, a change in appetite — and sharing them with us
What You'll Bring
Must-haves:
- Real, hands-on previous experience caring for twins, ideally infants
- Genuine warmth with babies and endless patience for the double-duty days
- Reliability — someone we can count on, day in and day out
- Comfort living in with a family and communicating openly
Nice-to-haves:
- Infant care or first-aid training
- Experience with sleep routines for multiples
Not sure you tick every box? We'd still love to hear from you.
Why You'll Love Working Here
- Live-in accommodation provided — a comfortable space that's yours
- AED 3,000–3,500 monthly, paid reliably
- One weekly day off to rest and recharge
- A focused role: your attention stays on the twins, not the whole house
- A respectful, easygoing household that values the person behind the job
We know good twin experience is rare — and we don't take it for granted. If this sounds like your kind of role, we'd genuinely like to talk.
Common Interview Questions and Tips
To help you prepare and feel confident, here are some questions you might encounter during the interview process for this role.
- You've cared for infant twins before — walk me through what a typical day looked like, and how you handled the moments when both babies needed you at exactly the same time.
- What experience do you have with sleep routines for multiples, and how do you approach getting two babies onto a nap schedule that actually works?
- Tell me about a time you noticed something subtle with a baby — a new tooth coming in, a change in appetite, a skipped nap — and how you handled sharing that with the parents.
- How do you keep bottles, feeding equipment, and the babies' room organized when you're in the middle of a hectic day with two nine-month-olds?
- What's your approach to feeding times — how do you keep them calm and unhurried when there are two hungry babies and only one of you?
- Have you had infant first-aid or CPR training? Tell me about a moment where you had to act quickly or stay calm in a stressful situation with a baby.
- Describe a time you and a parent saw a situation with a child differently. How did you handle it, and what did you learn from it?
- Twins can be exhausting in a way that's hard to explain to people who haven't done it. How do you recharge, and what keeps you patient on the double-duty days?
- This is a live-in role with a family. What does living in with a family look like for you, and how do you like to keep communication open and clear with parents?
- Tell me about a time you made a mistake or missed something with a child in your care. What happened, and how did you handle it with the family?
- What drew you to this role specifically — a focused baby role rather than a household-everything position?
- If one twin is teething and miserable while the other is ready for a nap, what does that hour actually look like in your hands?
