Job Description

A private family in the UAE is seeking a caring, experienced and dedicated Newborn Nanny to provide comprehensive care for their 15-day-old baby.

The successful candidate will initially be based in Ajman for approximately three months, before relocating with the family to Dubai for the next stage of the appointment.

This position is particularly suited to a nanny with specialist experience in newborn care who is confident managing all aspects of an infant’s daily routine, including feeding, hygiene, sleep management and overnight care.

The family is looking for a nurturing and attentive professional who understands the specific needs of a newborn and can provide consistent, reliable support throughout the day and night. The ability to recognise changes in the baby’s behaviour, maintain appropriate routines and communicate observations clearly to the parents is essential.

This is a live-in position requiring flexibility and availability for both daytime and overnight childcare. The successful candidate should be comfortable working independently and providing attentive care while respecting the parents’ preferences and family routines.

  • Ensure the baby’s clothing, bedding and personal items are clean, organised and readily available.

Overnight Care & Monitoring

  • Provide dedicated overnight assistance, including feeding, changing, settling and comforting the baby.
  • Monitor the infant throughout the night and respond promptly to waking and feeding requirements.
  • Maintain accurate records of overnight feeding, sleep periods and other relevant observations.
  • Recognise any unusual changes in the baby’s behaviour or condition and promptly communicate concerns to the parents.
  • Ensure safe sleep practices and maintain a clean, comfortable sleeping environment.

Hygiene & Baby Equipment

  • Sterilise feeding bottles, teats and other essential baby equipment.
  • Prepare formula feeds according to the parents’ instructions and appropriate hygiene practices.
  • Maintain cleanliness and organisation in the nursery and designated baby-care areas.
  • Keep an accurate inventory of nappies, formula, clothing and other essential supplies.
  • Follow appropriate newborn hygiene and infection-prevention practices.

Communication & Family Support

  • Provide regular updates to the parents regarding feeding, sleep, routines and general wellbeing.
  • Maintain a daily record of the baby’s activities and development.
  • Follow the family’s childcare preferences and established routines.
  • Work independently while maintaining open and constructive communication with the parents.
  • Accompany the family during their relocation from Ajman to Dubai.

Job Requirements

  • Proven professional experience caring for newborn babies, ideally from the first weeks of life.
  • Strong practical knowledge of infant feeding, sleep routines, hygiene and newborn development.
  • Excellent spoken English and the ability to communicate clearly with the parents.
  • Previous experience providing both daytime and overnight newborn care.
  • Understanding of safe sleep practices, infant hygiene and appropriate newborn handling.
  • Patient, affectionate and naturally attentive, with a genuine passion for infant care.
  • Reliable, responsible and emotionally composed.
  • Able to work autonomously and anticipate the baby’s needs.
  • Flexible and comfortable with a live-in arrangement.
  • Willingness to relocate from Ajman to Dubai after the initial three-month period.
  • Available to work six days per week, with one scheduled day off.

The family is particularly interested in candidates with a mature and professional approach to newborn care. Candidates under 40 are preferred, subject to applicable employment requirements.
