Unique Job Description

Position: Independent Nanny & Household Manager (Emirates Hills)

Are you an organized, Spanish-speaking professional who takes pride in running a seamless home while nurturing the development of school-aged children? Poppy Lane Placements is seeking a dedicated Live-in Nanny/Housekeeper to join a private family in the exclusive Emirates Hills enclave of Dubai. This is a role for a “home-anchor”—someone who can manage the fine details of a luxury residence as effectively as they can support a child’s afternoon routine.

Your day will be a blend of high-standard housekeeping and active childcare. You are the type of professional who enjoys the autonomy of setting a schedule, ensuring the home remains a clean and hygienic sanctuary while the children are at school. Once the school day ends, your focus shifts to providing a warm, engaging environment, perhaps sharing your Spanish language skills as you assist with activities and evening routines.

We are looking for a candidate with a “5-star hotel” eye for detail and a genuine love for family life. If you have a proven track record of managing high-profile households and are looking for a long-term position that offers a competitive salary and premium accommodations, this role in Emirates Hills provides a stable and respectful environment. Bring your expertise to a family that values your independence and dedication to excellence.
