Job Description

A private family based in Al Sufouh 2, Dubai, is looking for a compassionate and professionally trained Special Educational Needs (SEN) Nanny to support the care, development, and daily routine of their six-year-old son, who has ADHD and speech delays.

This position is suited to an experienced childcare professional with specialist SEN training and a proven ability to support children with developmental differences through structured routines, positive behaviour support, and individualised care.

The successful candidate will work closely with the parents and the child’s therapists to reinforce recommended strategies, coordinate daily appointments, and create a supportive environment that encourages learning, communication, independence, and emotional wellbeing.

A key aspect of the role involves transporting the child to therapy sessions and extracurricular activities, ensuring punctuality and continuity throughout his weekly schedule. The family is seeking someone who combines professional expertise with patience, warmth, consistency, and a genuine commitment to helping a child reach his potential.

Responsibilities

  • Provide attentive, individualised childcare tailored to the child’s developmental needs, including ADHD and speech delays.
  • Apply positive behaviour support techniques to encourage emotional regulation, constructive behaviour, and the development of everyday skills.
  • Follow strategies and recommendations provided by the child’s therapists and other relevant professionals.
  • Drive the child safely to and from therapy appointments and extracurricular activities, managing the schedule reliably.
  • Maintain the weekday routine, including therapy transportation from approximately 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, with later finishes on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  • Assist with morning preparations, including waking the child, helping him get ready, and making his bed.
  • Establish clear, predictable routines that promote security, cooperation, and independence.
  • Organise engaging, age-appropriate activities that support communication, learning, social interaction, and development.
  • Coordinate appointments, activities, and daily care arrangements in line with the family’s requirements.
  • Keep the parents informed about the child’s daily experiences, progress, behaviour, and any relevant concerns.
  • Maintain a safe, calm, and encouraging environment, prioritising the child’s wellbeing at all times.

Job Requirements

  • Previous professional experience as a nanny or childcare specialist, ideally within a private household.
  • Relevant childcare qualifications and specific training in Special Educational Needs (SEN) or a related field.
  • Demonstrable experience supporting children with ADHD, speech delays, or other developmental needs.
  • Strong practical knowledge of positive behaviour support strategies is essential.
  • Understanding of structured routines and approaches that encourage communication, learning, and independence.
  • Fluent English, with the ability to communicate clearly with parents, therapists, and other professionals.
  • A patient, empathetic, calm, and encouraging personality.
  • Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage appointments and transport schedules independently.
  • A valid driving licence and confidence driving in Dubai.
  • Reliable, proactive, and attentive to detail, with a strong sense of responsibility.
  • A genuine commitment to supporting the child’s development while respecting the family’s preferences and professional guidance.

  • Location: Al Sufouh 2, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Employment Type: Full-time, live-in
  • Working Schedule: Six days per week
  • Working Hours: 6:00 am to 9:00 pm, as specified by the family
