Unique Job Description

Position: High-Energy Holiday Nanny (Temporary)

Are you a Dubai-based childcare professional who knows all the best-hidden gems for kids in the city? A family visiting our vibrant city is looking for a Temporary Nanny to turn their January holiday into an unforgettable adventure for their two children. This isn’t just a supervision role—it’s a chance to be an “Experience Architect” for a 7 and 10-year-old.

From the moment you arrive at the family’s hotel, your mission is to ensure the children are safe, engaged, and, most importantly, having the time of their lives. Whether you’re planning a day at the best waterparks, organizing creative challenges, or helping them stay sharp with a bit of holiday homework, your proactive nature will be the key to a successful trip. You are the kind of nanny who jumps into the pool with the kids, anticipates the family’s needs before they are voiced, and can pivot plans with a smile when the itinerary changes.

We are looking for a strong swimmer who communicates with excellence and carries themselves with the professionalism expected by a premier international agency. If you are already based in Dubai and ready to start the New Year by providing 5-star care for a visiting family, we want to hear from you.
