Unique Job Description

Position: Bilingual German-Speaking Nanny (Part-Time)

Are you a native or fluent German speaker with a passion for childcare? A warm and welcoming German family living in Dubai is looking for a dedicated Part-Time Nanny to support their children’s growth and linguistic development. This is more than just a babysitting role; it is an opportunity to become a cultural and educational mentor for children in a bilingual household.

In this role, you will be the children’s primary companion during the week, creating a fun and structured environment where German is the main language of interaction. Whether you are helping with school assignments, preparing healthy snacks, or heading to the park for an afternoon of play, your focus will be on providing a safe, engaging, and nurturing experience.

The family values a candidate who is proactive and can work independently. You should be comfortable managing daily routines and have the “can-do” attitude necessary to handle the dynamic needs of growing children. Because this is a live-out, part-time position , it is essential that you have your own transportation and a valid residency visa in the UAE.

If you are a reliable professional who loves working with children and wants to help a fellow German family maintain their roots while enjoying life in Dubai, we would love to meet you.
