A one-time Hiring Pass unlocks contact when you are ready to reach out.

Compare childcare experience, languages, expected salary, visa situation and caregiving assessments. Nannies list their own profiles.
3
Contact, interview and verify
A one-time Hiring Pass unlocks unlimited contact for 30 or 90 days. Interview more than one candidate and check references yourself. WeNanny does not comprehensively vet every candidate.
4
Put terms in writing
Agree duties, working hours, weekly rest, accommodation and salary before the nanny moves in.
5
Confirm visa and contract
Sponsorship and the MOHRE domestic-worker contract sit with the family or a licensed centre. Check official UAE guidance before the nanny starts work.

What a live-in nanny arrangement means in the UAE

A live-in nanny lives in the family home and normally provides full-time childcare support. Families usually provide accommodation and meals in addition to salary. This can suit households that need early-morning, evening or flexible coverage, provided hours, rest periods and duties are agreed in advance.

Visa and employment rights

The family (or a licensed Tadbeer centre) sponsors a domestic-worker visa. WeNanny does not issue visas. A nanny should keep her own passport; live-in is not an unlimited on-call arrangement. Confirm current rules with official UAE sources before the nanny starts work.
