About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to truly make a difference in someone’s daily life? We’re searching for a caring, trustworthy Nanny to join a welcoming family in Abu Dhabi, right in the heart of Al Karamah. This unique role is ideal for someone who loves being around children, finds joy in the little things, and is ready for the adventure that comes with becoming an integral part of a household. The position starts as part-time in August — so, if you’re looking to transition to full-time work soon, this might just be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
About the Family
Picture a warm, tight-knit household where laughter is common and genuine care counts for everything. The family values honesty, patience, and a gentle touch with their little one, and they look forward to welcoming an energetic nanny who feels more like a trusted friend than just hired help. Here, communication is open and kindness goes both ways — you might even find yourself included in family meals or celebratory moments. Flexibility and sincerity are celebrated, and after a couple of months, you’ll really feel at home (literally — this is a live-in role after the initial period).
What You’ll Be Doing
- Ensuring the baby’s safety and comfort throughout the day (your number one priority!)
- Preparing bottles and feeding the baby on a regular schedule
- Handling daily hygiene tasks, such as changing diapers, bathing, and keeping play areas tidy
- Lending a hand with light cooking, especially meals related to the baby’s needs (don’t worry, you won’t need chef-level skills)
- Flexibly responding to the family’s needs — each day can bring something a little different
- Transitioning to a full-time, live-in role after the initial trial period (so being adaptable is key)
