Hiring a nanny in Dubai: the quick version
To hire a nanny in Dubai, search the verified profiles, shortlist two or three, interview and check references, agree duties and salary in writing, then sponsor the visa yourself or through a licensed Tadbeer centre and start with a short trial.
Finding the right nanny in Dubai, made simple
Hiring a nanny means trusting someone with your child's safety, routine and daily care. DomesticHelper helps you compare nannies in Dubai by childcare experience, languages, skills and availability before making contact.
What families expect from a nanny
UAE families expect a nanny to take real ownership of the children's day - routine, safety, meals and play - not just to keep an eye on them.
- Running the daily routine: meals, naps, school runs and bedtime
- Planning play and simple learning activities
- Keeping the children safe and their spaces in order
- Sharing clear updates with parents
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:
- Genuine warmth with children
- Patience under pressure
- Clear communication
- Sound judgement
What affects the salary
What you pay a nanny 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.
Hiring in Dubai
Dubai families often need clear scheduling around school runs, apartments, villas and weekend routines. Confirm building access, transport and working hours before day one.

- Interview each candidate and ask for specific examples from previous homes.
- Call references before you decide.
- Agree duties, salary, weekly day off and start date in writing.
- Sponsor the visa yourself or through a licensed Tadbeer centre, then begin with a short trial.
