Family Assistant/Nanny

Family Assistant/Nanny job (M/F) in Dubai, UAE

Dubai

Job Description

A busy professional mother in Dubai is seeking an experienced and highly capable Family Assistant / Nanny (M/F) to support the care, organisation and development of her three sons, aged 8, 10 and 12.

This is a varied position combining hands-on childcare with family assistant responsibilities. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with older children, providing structure and guidance while encouraging independence, responsibility and positive behaviour.

As the family has recently separated, the role requires a particularly emotionally intelligent, adaptable and discreet professional who can confidently support the children across two households and maintain consistency within a co-parenting arrangement.

The boys attend school full-time. During school hours, the role naturally transitions from childcare into family assistant duties, supporting the mother with practical organisation and helping ensure the home runs efficiently.

A second nanny is already employed within the household, alongside drivers and wider domestic support.

Responsibilities

Morning & School Routine

  • Take responsibility for the boys’ morning routine and ensure they are ready for school on time.
  • Prepare breakfast and organise school bags, uniforms and personal belongings.
  • Ensure a calm, structured and efficient start to each day.
  • Collect the children from school and oversee their transition into the afternoon routine.

After-School Care

  • Take primary responsibility for the children between approximately 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
  • Establish clear routines, appropriate boundaries and consistent expectations.
  • Support homework, school responsibilities and daily organisation.
  • Coordinate and accompany the boys to their various activities, including swimming, tennis, karate, chess and playdates.
  • Encourage good manners, independence, confidence and age-appropriate responsibility.
  • Provide attentive support with the children’s emotional and social development.

Family Assistant Duties

During school hours, the successful candidate will assist the mother with the practical organisation of family life, including:

  • Keeping children’s clothing, toys and personal belongings organised.
  • Monitoring the children’s wardrobes and identifying clothing requirements.
  • Ensuring school supplies, sports equipment and other children’s essentials are available when needed.
  • Coordinating child-related household tasks and arrangements.
  • Helping maintain order and efficiency throughout the children’s areas and routines.
  • Anticipating the family’s needs and taking initiative without constant supervision.

Co-Parenting & Travel

  • Accompany the children between their mother’s home in Jumeirah Islands and their father’s residence in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT).
  • Maintain consistency in routines, expectations and standards across both households.
  • Communicate appropriately with both parents regarding the children’s schedules and requirements.
  • Travel with the family when required, including trips undertaken separately with either parent during school holidays.
  • Handle all family information with complete discretion and professionalism.

Job Requirements

The ideal candidate will be an experienced childcare professional with the maturity and confidence to work with three older boys and within a modern family structure.

Essential qualities and experience include:

  • At least 10 years of professional childcare experience.
  • Strong hands-on nanny background with older children, particularly boys.
  • Proven ability to establish appropriate boundaries while maintaining a warm and positive relationship with children.
  • Strong understanding of child development and the changing needs of school-aged children and pre-teens.
  • High emotional intelligence, patience and maturity.
  • Flexible and adaptable approach to changing family schedules and circumstances.
  • Previous experience working with separated or divorced families is highly desirable.
  • Comfortable supporting children across two residences and maintaining consistency between households.
  • Previous Middle East / GCC experience is essential.
  • Practical, hands-on approach to childcare rather than a purely supervisory background.
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to anticipate what the family needs.
  • Discreet, trustworthy and professional in all interactions.
  • Hindi language skills are an advantage.
  • A valid driving licence would be beneficial but is not essential.

Working Conditions

  • Location: Dubai – Jumeirah Islands & Jumeirah Lake Towers
  • Position: Full-time Family Assistant / Nanny
  • Working schedule: 6 days per week
  • Monday to Friday: 7:00 am – 7:00 pm
  • Saturday: 9:00 am – 6:00 pm
  • Start date: Within 1 month
  • Visa: Provided
  • Medical insurance: Provided
  • Annual leave: Paid
  • Household support: Existing nanny and drivers in place

The children primarily live with their mother in Jumeirah Islands, while regularly spending time at their father’s home in Jumeirah Lake Towers. The successful candidate must therefore be comfortable moving between both residences as required.

Salary

AED 20,000 – 30,000 per month, depending on experience and suitability.
