If you are planning to hire a nanny in Europe, it is important to understand in advance what budget to plan and what the true cost of a nanny consists of. Today, the monthly cost of a nanny in Europe ranges from about €1,500–2,000 in more affordable countries to €5,000–8,000 in the premium segment. Salary levels differ from country to country and even from city to city, but the overall logic is similar everywhere: the nanny’s legal status, work format, specialisation and country determine the final cost.

In families with high standards for education, upbringing, and a child’s future, parents increasingly choose not just care, but a structured and strategic approach to development. This is why the role of the governess comes to the forefront—a specialist who combines pedagogical expertise, a high level of responsibility, and individualized work with a child.

In our practice, we often receive requests that demand the highest level of expertise, a non-standard approach, and access to exclusive networks of professionals. These are projects where every detail matters — from the candidate’s professional background to subtle cultural nuances that ensure the family’s complete comfort. This was exactly the case when we were entrusted with finding a nanny for a newborn in a Saudi family living in Doha.

Dubai is a city where families live in prestigious neighborhoods, children grow up in a multicultural environment, and the climate demands special attention to their safety and health. Here, a nanny is not just a helper, but a professional who considers every detail — from choosing the safest time for outdoor activities to helping a child adapt to a new culture and language.

Just five years ago, hiring a nanny or housekeeper could take a family just a couple of weeks. Today, even affluent clients willing to pay above-market rates face an unexpected problem — there simply aren’t enough qualified candidates. Why has this happened, and what can you do if you need a reliable and skilled household employee? Let’s break it down step by step.

Our work is built on absolute trust, complete confidentiality, and flawless recruitment quality. This time, we were approached by a VIP family from Uzbekistan with a request for a world-class private chef.

If you imagine owners of mansions, penthouses, and yachts personally placing “Looking for a nanny” ads online or scrolling endlessly through resumes — think again. In a world where time is more valuable than money, they do things differently. They don’t search — someone searches for them. And it’s not a whim, but a golden rule built on money, reputation, and security.
