1. Why Having a Nanny in Dubai Is a Necessity, Not a Luxury
Life here moves fast: international meetings, children’s classes, parents’ busy schedules, and hot weather that requires a carefully planned daily routine.
In Dubai, a nanny’s role includes not just childcare but also:
- Supporting the child’s development — languages, creativity, educational activities.
- Maintaining healthy eating and sleeping schedules.
- Escorting children to classes and events.
- Understanding the climate and sun exposure — knowing the safest times to go outside, how to dress children in the heat, and how to prevent overheating.
2. Salary Levels and Who Works in Dubai
Nannies’ salaries in Dubai are among the highest in the world. That’s why specialists come here from various countries — the Philippines, Indonesia, Nepal, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ukraine, and others.
Most families hire live-in staff — the nanny either lives in the family’s home or in separate accommodation provided by the employer. This is convenient for both sides, especially given the city’s transportation challenges.
3. Where Nannies Work
Nannies in Dubai are mostly employed in areas where their employers live:
- Dubai Marina
- Jumeirah
- Palm Jumeirah
- Downtown Dubai
- Arabian Ranches
- Emirates Hills
- MBR City
💡 Note: Public transportation in Dubai is less developed compared to major European cities, and many districts are far from each other. Finding a nanny from your exact neighborhood is difficult — especially in prestigious areas where housing prices are high. Often, it’s more cost-effective for families to rent separate accommodation for their staff than to search for a candidate nearby.
4. Visa Regulations
In Dubai, domestic staff cannot apply for work visas on their own. This process is always handled by the employer or the company that formally employs them.
How it works:
- If a client wants a nanny with a resident visa, they must arrange it themselves or use a specialized company.
- Exception — nannies from the Philippines: they have a specific “Domestic Worker Visa” and there are licensed agencies that handle these applications.
- Many families work with companies that “sponsor” the staff under their business, providing visas and simplifying the process for the employer.
5. Why It’s Difficult to Find a Nanny on Your Ow
- High demand and strong competition for experienced candidates.
- Complex legal and visa requirements.
- Cultural differences and language barriers.
- Risk of hiring an unqualified person without verified references.
