Head Nanny job (M/F) in Dubai, UAE

Dubai

Job Description

A French father based in Dubai is seeking an outstanding Head Nanny to join his family ahead of the arrival of his twin daughters, expected in February or March 2027. The successful candidate will begin the assignment in the United States in December 2026, accompanying the family before relocating with them to Dubai for a long-term position.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced childcare professional with a strong background in newborn care and the leadership skills required to coordinate a small nanny team. The Head Nanny will take primary responsibility for the twins’ daily care, wellbeing, routines, and developmental needs, while supervising two additional nannies working day and night shifts.

The position is entirely dedicated to childcare, with no general housekeeping responsibilities. The family offers a respectful working environment, attractive living arrangements, and the opportunity to establish a lasting professional relationship. A potential relocation to France in the coming years is also envisaged, and candidates interested in continuing with the family throughout this transition are particularly welcome.

The successful applicant will join the family in the United States in December 2026 before moving to Dubai, where the role will continue on a full-time, live-in basis.

Responsibilities

  • Assume primary responsibility for the daily care of the newborn twins, including feeding, bathing, changing, sleep routines, and personal hygiene.
  • Establish structured, age-appropriate routines and adapt them as the babies develop.
  • Lead and coordinate the nanny team, organising schedules and ensuring effective communication between daytime and nighttime caregivers.
  • Provide guidance and support to the two other nannies, maintaining consistent childcare practices and high standards of care.
  • Monitor the twins’ health, comfort, development, and general wellbeing, communicating any concerns appropriately.
  • Keep the father regularly informed about the babies’ routines, milestones, progress, and daily activities.
  • Plan and introduce suitable sensory, developmental, and educational activities as the children grow.
  • Maintain an organised nursery and ensure the babies’ clothing, laundry, and personal belongings are properly managed.
  • Ensure continuity of care across shifts and maintain clear handovers between team members.
  • Accompany the family on domestic and international trips, adapting childcare arrangements to changing schedules and locations.
  • Maintain the highest standards of professionalism, confidentiality, discretion, and reliability.

Job Requirements

  • Extensive professional experience caring for newborns, ideally with twins or two infants of a similar age.
  • Previous experience as a Head Nanny, Senior Nanny, or in a position involving the supervision and coordination of other childcare professionals.
  • Strong knowledge of newborn care, infant sleep, feeding, hygiene, and early developmental needs.
  • Excellent organisational and leadership skills, with the confidence to manage a small team independently.
  • A proactive, calm, and dependable approach, with sound judgement and the ability to make appropriate decisions.
  • Excellent English communication skills; fluency in French would be a significant advantage.
  • Outstanding, verifiable professional references from previous private households or relevant childcare employers.
  • Holds a valid European passport to facilitate international travel, particularly to the United States, and a potential future relocation to France. Appropriate entry and work authorisations will still be required.
  • Willingness to accompany the family internationally and commit to a long-term position.
  • Available to commence employment in December 2026 in the United States.
  • Open to relocating to France with the family should their plans change in the coming years.

Working Conditions

  • Position: Head Nanny for newborn twin girls
  • Initial Location: United States, from December 2026
  • Long-Term Location: DAMAC Hills, Dubai, UAE
  • Employment Type: Full-time, live-in, long-term
  • Working Schedule: Monday to Friday
  • Accommodation: Private, spacious bedroom with en-suite bathroom in a 600 m² villa
  • Facilities: Access to the residence’s swimming pool, gym, shopping mall, and restaurants
  • Transportation: A car will be provided
  • Additional Support: A separate night helper will be available initially
  • Travel: International travel with the family is required
  • Future Plans: Potential relocation to France in the coming years

The role is exclusively focused on the children’s care and development, allowing the Head Nanny to concentrate fully on the twins and the coordination of their childcare team.

Salary

The offered salary is AED 12,000 to AED 16,000 per month, depending on experience and suitability, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
