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.
