Why you should relocate to Dubai for your next Nanny role

Are you a nanny or governess (with an EU passport) who is curious about working as an international nanny In the Middle East?

Nannies Incorporated is often approached by Irish and British nannies and governesses (or other EU passport holders) interested in working abroad, particularly in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. 

We are often asked, "What it is like to work in the Middle East?", "How much does a nanny earn in the UAE?", "What are the duties of a British nanny in the UAE?" or "What is it like to work within a team of household staff?"

It has become increasingly popular for VIP and HNW families to favour British and European nannies to give their children an international experience. As the popularity of international nannies in the UAE grows, we thought it might be helpful to write a blog on the support Nannies Incorporated can provide for nannies like you.

At Nannies incorporated, our highly experienced team can help steer you in the right direction and give you pointers on working in the UAE. Some of our team have first-hand knowledge of the UAE, having lived and worked in the region.
