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
