What UAE families expect from a babysitter
A babysitter is trusted to step in for a few hours and keep the children safe and happy while you are out.
- Watching and entertaining the children
- Sticking to bedtime and meal routines
- Keeping the kids safe
- Light tidying of their areas
Agree the exact list in writing before the start date - every home shapes the role a little differently.
Skills and qualities to look for
Experience on a CV is a start, but these are the qualities worth testing in the interview and the trial:
- Dependability
- Calm in emergencies
- Comfort with the children's ages
- Punctuality
What affects the salary
What you pay a babysitter in Dubai depends on experience, languages and whether the role is live-in or live-out. Full-time roles are agreed as a monthly salary.
Agree the figure directly with the candidate, confirm exactly what it covers - weekly day off, flights, accommodation - and put it in writing before the start date. A fair, clear package is the simplest way to keep a good worker long term.
