About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to truly make a difference in a family’s daily life? If you have a natural gift for caring for children and keeping a home running smoothly, this is your chance. We’re looking for a hard-working, energetic nanny to become a key part of our family in Al Warqa, Dubai. If you pride yourself on being reliable, organized, and (most importantly) genuinely care for kids, please read on—you might be just who we’re seeking.
About the Family
We’re a lively household with two delightful children who bring laughter (and a little bit of chaos) into our home every day. Our mornings are filled with school rushes, and our evenings are all about winding down together. We value honesty, respect, and a positive attitude—and always support each other, no matter how busy things get. If you believe a happy environment sets kids (and adults) up for success, you’ll feel right at home here.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Prepare nutritious lunchboxes each school morning—think simple, kid-approved meals.
- Drop off and pick up the children at the school bus stop (both punctuality and safety matter!).
- Keep school uniforms and kids’ clothing clean and ready—this includes washing, ironing, and organizing wardrobes.
- General housekeeping—maintaining tidiness, basic cleaning, and ensuring the kids’ areas feel welcoming.
- Cook basic meals for the children — nothing fancy, just wholesome and tasty.
- Offer warm, responsible care after school— snack time, playtime, and support with homework if needed.
- Use your smart judgment to manage routines and communicate with the family if anything comes up.
What You’ll Bring
- Previous experience caring for children, especially school-age kids.
- Strong work ethic: reliable, disciplined, and organized in everything you do.
- Ability to cook simple, healthy meals.
- Comfort with household tasks—washing, ironing, tidying.
- Smart, practical approach and problem-solving skills (we love calm thinkers!).
- Good English communication skills.
- Someone who isn’t glued to her phone or social media—present and engaged is what matters most.
- Available for immediate start (tonight or by tomorrow before midnight).
Not sure if you quite tick every box? Please reach out anyway—we value attitude and willingness to learn!

- Private 1-bedroom apartment provided—your own space and privacy after working hours.
- Monthly salary of AED 1100, paid on time, every month.
- Supportive family atmosphere—you’re not just “the nanny,” you’re part of our team.
- No late nights or unpredictable schedules—clear routines and expectations.
- Dubai’s vibrant, safe Al Warqa neighborhood—all essentials within easy reach.
