Nanny salaries in Dubai, UAE vary based on experience, qualifications, and specific requirements. For qualified, experienced nannies working with high-net-worth families, expect salaries ranging from AED 8,000 to AED 15,000+ monthly, plus benefits. Factors affecting compensation include: years of experience, educational background, language skills, willingness to travel, and additional responsibilities. Live-in arrangements may include accommodation and other benefits. We provide detailed market insights during consultation to ensure competitive positioning when you hire a Nanny.

The choice between live-in and live-out arrangements depends on your family's needs and lifestyle. Live-in nannies offer greater flexibility for travel, evening events, and irregular schedules common among ultra-high-net-worth families. They're ideal for families requiring extensive childcare coverage or frequent travel. Live-out nannies work set hours and return home daily, suitable for families wanting more privacy while still receiving professional childcare. Dubai's traffic patterns and distances should be considered for live-out arrangements. We help evaluate which option best suits your requirements.

Many of our qualified nannies are experienced in traveling with high-net-worth families and understand the unique requirements this entails. Travel availability depends on the candidate's personal circumstances, visa restrictions, and willingness to accompany families on domestic and international trips. We specifically screen for travel flexibility during our vetting process if this is a requirement. Candidates experienced in travel understand packing for children, managing schedules across time zones, and maintaining routines while away from home.

We recommend implementing a trial period when you hire a Nanny Dubai, UAE to ensure mutual satisfaction before long-term commitment.

Following a successful trial, formal employment contracts are finalized, outlining responsibilities, compensation, benefits, working hours, and termination procedures. We provide guidance on structuring contracts that comply with UAE labor law while protecting your family's interests.
