Nanny Governess | British Family | Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi (with travel to UK & Europe)
AED 28,000+ per month | £75,000+ per annum | Relocation package offered
Start: July 2026 (with European summer travel) | Based Abu Dhabi from late August
Live-In | Private en-suite annex with separate entrance
A wonderful British family are looking for their next long-term nanny governess. Based on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, right on the beach, with a beautiful private annex for the right candidate. Ground floor, en-suite, separate entrance. A genuinely lovely place to live and work.



Their nine-year-old boy and three-year-old girl have had the same British nanny for four years. She is returning to the UK, and the family are looking for someone to step into that same trusted, long-term role. A driver and housekeepers are in place, so this is a purely child-focused position.

Abu Dhabi is an extraordinary city for children and this family want a nanny who genuinely sees it that way. Someone who will take the children to the beach on their doorstep, explore SeaWorld, make the most of everything the city has to offer, and bring real enthusiasm and energy to every day. Active, engaged, and always looking for the next adventure with the children.
Manners, etiquette, and being a strong role model matter enormously to this family. They are looking for someone who brings those standards naturally, not as an afterthought, and who is just as comfortable on a beach afternoon as they are supporting homework and building good habits.



The role begins in July, travelling through Europe and London with the family before returning to Abu Dhabi for the start of the school term in late August. The family travel regularly to the UK and across Europe throughout the year, so a UK passport is strongly preferred and the ability to travel with ease is essential.



A relocation package is on offer for the right British candidate making the move.
