About the family

A wonderful British family on Saadiyat Island is looking for a wonderful nanny governess to join them long term. Their previous nanny was with them for four years and became a valued part of the family. They live in one of Abu Dhabi's most beautiful communities, right on the beach. The nanny has a private ground floor annex with an en‑suite and separate entrance. A driver and housekeepers are in place, so the focus is entirely on the children, a nine‑year‑old boy and a three‑year‑old girl. Both are happy, active and full of energy.

The role

This role suits someone who embraces an active lifestyle and makes the most of their surroundings. Beach days, SeaWorld and exploring everything Abu Dhabi has to offer are all part of everyday life. Travel is a big part of the role. The family travels regularly to the UK and Europe, starting with a ski trip in Europe in December, which they would love the nanny to join. Confident, adaptable travel is essential, and a UK passport is strongly preferred. Manners, etiquette and being a strong role model matter to this family. The right candidate brings those standards as second nature, alongside real warmth and creativity. They are looking for a true nanny at heart. Someone young and full of energy, who plans fun, imaginative activities and genuinely loves what they do. The family would love to find a nanny that's happy to plan an afterschool crafts activity or take the children out to the beach by the home.
