Nanny job (M/F) in Arabian Ranches, Dubai, UAE

Dubai

Job Description

A warm and welcoming Greek family based in Arabian Ranches, Dubai, is looking for a caring, dependable, and experienced Live-In Nanny to join their household and care for two children aged 2 and 8 years old.

The successful candidate will play an important role in the children’s daily lives, providing attentive supervision, helping with school routines, organising age-appropriate activities, and creating a safe and nurturing environment.

This is primarily a childcare-focused position. The family already employs a cleaner, while another member of staff takes care of cooking, so there are very limited household responsibilities. The Nanny may occasionally prepare simple snacks or basic meals for the children.

The family is seeking someone genuinely passionate about childcare who is patient, organised, trustworthy, and interested in building a stable, long-term relationship with the household.

Responsibilities

Childcare & Daily Routine

  • Provide attentive and nurturing care for the family’s two children.
  • Support the children with their morning routines and preparation for school.
  • Walk the children safely to and from school, approximately 15 minutes from the residence.
  • Supervise the children throughout the day and ensure their safety and wellbeing.
  • Establish and maintain age-appropriate routines.
  • Keep the children’s toys, belongings, and personal spaces organised as part of the normal childcare routine.

Activities & Development

  • Plan stimulating activities suitable for the children’s ages and interests.
  • Engage the younger child in creative play, including drawing, colouring, painting, crafts, and other educational activities.
  • Encourage curiosity, creativity, independence, and positive behaviour.
  • Organise play and activities that support the children’s social, emotional, and developmental needs.
  • Provide a calm, positive, and encouraging presence throughout the day.

Meals & Bedtime

  • Prepare occasional simple snacks and basic food for the children.
  • Examples may include omelettes, toast, and other easy children’s meals.
  • Assist with bedtime routines when required.
  • Remain flexible when the family’s schedule requires occasional later working hours, with some evenings finishing around 8:00 pm.

Evening & Pet Support

  • Provide occasional evening babysitting when the parents are dining out or have other commitments.
  • Walk the family’s small dog in the morning and evening.
  • Ensure the dog is safely cared for during the Nanny’s regular duties.

Professional Standards

  • Maintain complete discretion regarding the family’s private life.
  • Respect household routines, boundaries, and confidentiality.
  • Communicate professionally and reliably with the parents.
  • Build a positive and trusting relationship with the children and family.

Job Requirements

The ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for working with children and be confident caring for both a toddler and a school-aged child.

Essential & Preferred Skills

  • Previous professional experience as a Nanny, Childcare Professional, or similar.
  • Experience caring for both toddlers and school-aged children is highly desirable.
  • Warm, patient, nurturing, and naturally caring personality.
  • Reliable, responsible, and trustworthy.
  • Confident managing children’s routines and daily activities.
  • Comfortable walking children to and from school.
  • Creative and capable of planning engaging age-appropriate activities.
  • Comfortable occasionally assisting with bedtime and evening babysitting.
  • Happy to walk and care for a small family dog.
  • Able to prepare simple snacks and basic children’s meals.
  • Organised, adaptable, and attentive to detail.
  • Professional and discreet, with a strong understanding of household privacy.
  • Looking for a stable, long-term position with a private family.
