How to hire a live-in nanny in Dubai

To hire a live-in nanny in Dubai, browse matching profiles, compare experience, expected salary, availability and visa status, then contact, interview and verify references yourself.

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

  1. 1

    Set the role for Dubai

    Decide private room, meals, rest days, overnight coverage and start date, and a salary range you can sustain. Cash pay is only part of total cost.

  2. 2

    Browse live-in profiles

    Compare childcare experience, languages, expected salary, visa situation and caregiving assessments. Nannies list their own profiles.

  3. 3

    Contact, interview and verify

    A one-time Hiring Pass unlocks unlimited contact for 90 days. Interview more than one candidate and check references yourself. WeNanny does not comprehensively vet every candidate.

  4. 4

    Put terms in writing

    Agree duties, working hours, weekly rest, accommodation and salary before the nanny moves in.

  5. 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 Dubai

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. Live-in arrangements can work well for families needing early-morning, evening or flexible support, but working hours, rest periods and responsibilities must still be clearly agreed.

  • Experience with the child’s age group

  • Live-in or live-out preference
  • Expected salary
  • Working-hour expectations
  • Languages spoken
  • First-aid training
  • References
  • Caregiving assessment results

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.
