This lovely family are looking for a positive, focussed organised, warm and proactive Rota Nanny with a ‘can-do’ attitude to care for their 2.5 year old little boy (and later his little sister).
Highlights
- Start: ASAP
- Location: Dubai, UAE
- Working Hours: 24/7 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off or 1 month on / 1 month off
- Salary: Competitive
Overview
The family also recently welcomed a baby girl (October 2025) who is already in a good routine and has maternity nurses (on rota) until the end of June 2026. This role is a mix of shared care and sole charge, with a hands-on mum and both parents very much involved in their children’s lives.
The Rota Nanny will be expected to have a good understanding and experience of working with toddlers and babies under 1. They should have longevity in previous roles (3 years minimum). The parents are looking at possibly starting the little boy at nursery in September but would like the nanny to have a strong educator background ideally with Montessori experience. They would continue educational activities at home, creating a home-based curriculum encompassing the EYFS and the Montessori philosophy to help prepare the little boy for school (especially if they decide to hold off on going to nursery until later). A strong developmental and education focus is essential.
The little boy is curious and inquisitive as well as being sensitive and cautious at times. The parents want to expose him to as many learning opportunities and experiences as they can and would love him to learn as many languages as possible. They would ideally like to have an energetic and active nanny who likes to get outdoors to help to encourage their little boy to be more physical and build his confidence. A musically talented nanny (e.g. able to play the piano) would also be of great benefit.
This is a fully staffed (homely) household and it is essential that the rota nanny has experience of working in this type of household and that they are a team player with good communication skills. The nanny will be responsible for all nursery duties including preparing fresh nutritional meals for the little boy along with being confident with weaning stages for the baby along with ensuring that the children’s areas are kept organised and up to date for their age and stage.
Knowledge of Dubai and its climate (eg being able to plan activities to do indoors when going outside isn’t possible due to the heat) would be advantageous. The nanny must also be culturally aware, for example when it comes to what to wear and how to behave in the country and generally within a family home.
There is frequent travel (US, India, Europe) with this position so a Rota Nanny who enjoys travelling and has experience of travelling with families is essential.
The family have one dog who is very friendly.
The role is either 1 month on / 1 months off with flights provided on and off duty or 2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off if the candidate is open to relocating to Dubai.
Duties included but not limited to:
- Preparing fresh & healthy meals
- Planning a range of age appropriate educational activities
Benefits
- The family will arrange visas as required.
- A driver is not required.
- Accommodation while on duty will be in the family home and include a bedroom and ensuite bathroom.
- 1 month on / 1 month off rota with flights provided
Key criteria
- Childcare qualification (Norland or Equivalent)
- Happy to relocate permanently to Dubai (one time relocation bonus) for a 2 week on / 2 week off rota
- Longevity in previous roles
- Experience working in fully staffed households
- Strong swimmer
- C2 level English
