Marcilly Recruitment's client is seeking an engaging, energetic and nurturing Mandarin speaking nanny to join a Swiss/French family in Dubai. This role is supporting G3, G4, and B6, who are all lovely, well-mannered and outdoorsy children.

The family is open to full and part time options – but non-negotiable Monday – Saturday, 4 hours a day. The family is also open to a live in/live out setup with separate accommodation with private entrance provided onsite and all food/bills included (if live-in).

The family is open to international relocation for the right candidate.

This role will combine childcare, Mandarin language development and general education. The family would like the nanny to speak Mandarin with the children — helping them build their understanding, confidence and knowledge in learning the language.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a professional Mandarin speaking nanny to work with a fun, caring and generous family who look after their staff. They are a close-knit family who have high standards, but are also flexible and laid back, they want to work collaboratively with the successful Mandarin speaking nanny. The mother is very hands on and proactive, so typically the nanny / educator is only required for around four hours a day. The nanny will also work closely with the homeschool educator to develop fun activities that complement the children’s learning.

The successful Mandarin speaking nanny must be positive, energetic, warm and engaging as the right personality fit for the family is the most important requirement. They are open on a candidate’s background as long as they are fun, bubbly and intellectually curious.
