Description

DUBAI, UAE + travel: Highly experienced, top, trained, native English MT, Rota Nanny (B2.5 years & G3 months)

DUBAI, UAE + travel: ASAP start £££££  

  • Role: Rota Nanny (2 weeks on/off)
  • Children: B2.5 years & G3 months
  • Start date: ASAP February 
  • Location: Dubai (top, trained candidates already in Dubai will be prioritised)
  • Salary: excellent remuneration
  • Client requirements: formal training (eg: Norland) 


Clients based in Dubai are looking for a positive, focused organised, warm and proactive Rota Nanny (preferably Norland trained) with a ‘can-do’ attitude to care for their little boy (b. Nov. 2023). The family also recently welcomed a baby girl (Oct. 2025) who is already in a good routine and has Maternity Nurses (on rota) until the end of June. This role will be a mixture of shared care and sole charge, with a hands-on mum and both parents very much involved in their children's lives.

  • The working hours will be 2 weeks on/off, working 24 hours when on duty. Applicants need to either already live in Dubai or be prepared to relocate to Dubai at the earliest opportunity.


The Rota Nanny will be expected to have a good understanding and experience of working with toddlers and babies under 1 year. They should have longevity in previous roles (3 years minimum). The parents are looking at possibly starting the little boy at nursery in September but would like the nanny to have a strong educator background ideally with Montessori experience. They would continue educational activities at home, creating a home-based curriculum encompassing the EYFS and the Montessori philosophy to help prepare the little boy for school (especially if they decide to hold off on going to nursery until later). A strong developmental and education focus is essential.

The little boy is curious and inquisitive as well as being sensitive and cautious at times. The parents want to expose him to as many learning opportunities and experiences as they can and would love him to learn as many languages as possible. They would ideally like to have an energetic and active nanny who likes to get outdoors to help to encourage their little boy to be more physical and build his confidence. A musically talented nanny (e.g. able to play the piano) would also be of great benefit.

This is a fully staffed - yet homely - household and at the family's request, it is essential that their new Rota Nanny has stellar experience of working in this type of household and is a top, team player with good communication skills. The nanny will be responsible for all nursery duties including preparing fresh nutritional meals for the little boy along with being confident with weaning stages for the baby along with ensuring that the children’s areas are kept organised and up to date for their age and stage.

Rota Nanny applicants who are already in Dubai are being prioritised, as knowledge of Dubai and its climate (eg being able to plan activities to do indoors when going outside isn’t possible due to the heat) are advantageous. The nanny must also be culturally aware, for example when it comes to what to wear and how to behave in the country and generally within a formal, family home.


  •  Top salary paid.
  • Candidates prepared to relocate to Dubai will be offered a relocation allowance.  
  • Accommodation while on duty will be in the family home and include a bedroom and ensuite bathroom. 
  • There is frequent travel (US, India, Europe) with this position so a Rota Nanny who enjoys travelling and has experience of travelling with families is essential. 
  • The family will arrange visas as required.
  • A driver is not required.
  • The family has one dog who is very friendly.
