1. 1

   Set the role for Dubai

   Decide hours, commute area, transport, finish time and start date, and a salary range you can sustain. Cash pay is only part of total cost.

2. 2

   Browse live-out 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, start/end times, overtime, transport and salary before the first shift.

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-out nanny arrangement means in Dubai

A live-out nanny lives separately from the family and commutes for agreed shifts. This often suits households that want daytime or school-hour coverage without providing accommodation. Transport time, working hours and overtime still need a clear written agreement.
