Daily Nanny/Governess Required in Abu Dhabi for twins aged 6 years
This warm and caring family has a history of treating their nannies as valued members of their household. The parents are highly educated working professionals. They are passionate about the arts and have created a home filled with colour, creativity, and fun to inspire their children.
Their daughter is intellectually curious, with a love for gymnastics, netball, math, and languages. She is kind and enjoys learning. Their son is affectionate and imaginative, with a keen interest in cars and creative play. He has dyspraxia and follows a sensory framework diet under the guidance of an occupational therapist.
The family employs a cook and a housekeeper, ensuring the nanny can focus solely on childcare and educational development. Their current British nanny/governess, whom they hold in high regard, is relocating to England for family reasons. A thorough handover will be arranged to ensure a seamless transition, and candidates are welcome to speak with the current and previous nannies, with whom the family maintains good relationships.
