Newborn Nanny – Live-In | Dubai

Start Date: September (baby due 3rd October) A warm and excited first-time mum is preparing for the arrival of her newborn in October and is looking for an experienced, dedicated nanny to join her home from September — ahead of the birth. This is a long-term position with a genuinely lovely family. They are not looking for someone to cover the newborn phase and move on. They want someone who will grow with the family for years, becoming a trusted and consistent presence in their child's life. Both parents work full time, and from February the nanny will be in sole charge — so confidence, maturity, and complete reliability are essential. The home already has a long-standing live‑in housekeeper, so the nanny can focus entirely on the baby without any expectation of household duties. The nanny will have their own private en suite bedroom. There is a small dog in the home. The Role Newborn care from birth, with a strong focus on routine, development, and attentive one‑to‑one care. As the baby grows, this transitions into a full‑time sole charge position. The family are warm and flexible, and will expect the same in return — someone who brings reliability, maturity, and genuine dedication to every day. Someone experienced, steady, and deeply passionate about early childhood will feel right at home with this family. The Candidate Confident in sole charge from an early stage Mature, child‑focused, and in it for the long term Looking for a family to truly commit to, not just a short placement
