Job Description

A friendly British family relocating to Dubai Hills, UAE, is seeking an experienced and dependable Live-In Housekeeper / Nanny to help maintain a well-organised family home while providing occasional support with the care of their three young children.

The household consists of two involved and hands-on parents and their three boys, aged 4 years, 2 years, and 18 months.

The successful candidate will be proactive, organised, child-friendly, and comfortable living and working in a busy family household. The family also owns a friendly Cockapoo, so confidence around dogs is essential.
