Dubai Nanny Agency – Exceptional Childcare for Families Across the UAE

Finding the right person to care for your children in a city as fast-moving and international as Dubai takes more than a job advert – it takes an agency that knows the city, understands your standards and has spent two decades placing childcare professionals in some of the world’s most demanding households. Nanny & Butler brings that experience to the UAE, hand-selecting nannies, governesses and maternity nurses for families who will accept nothing less than excellence.

Why Dubai Families Choose Nanny & Butler

Dubai is home to one of the most international communities anywhere in the world, and the households we serve here reflect that: Emirati and GCC families, European and American expatriates, entrepreneurs relocating with young children, and Royal and UHNW households running large, fully staffed residences. Each has different expectations of a nanny – and our consultants take the time to understand yours before a single CV reaches your inbox.

From villas in Emirates Hills and Al Barari to penthouses on Palm Jumeirah and apartments in Downtown Dubai, we place childcare professionals across the city and throughout the Emirates, including Abu Dhabi. Every search is handled with the discretion our clients are accustomed to, and many of our Dubai placements come through personal recommendation between families.

Placements to Match Your Household

Because many of our clients divide the year between Dubai, London and the Mediterranean, we frequently place travelling nannies who move with the family – a service few local agencies can offer.

Vetting You Can Rely On

Trust is not negotiable when someone joins your home. Long before introduction, every candidate has passed our 15-point screening process: face-to-face interview, verified childcare qualifications, employment references confirmed directly with previous families, identity and document checks, and an enhanced DBS certificate or its equivalent from the candidate’s home country. We present a shortlist, never a database.

An International Agency with Local Insight

Nanny & Butler has been placing private childcare and household staff for over 20 years, with a presence in London, Dubai, Milan, Rome, Miami and New York City. That global network matters in a city like Dubai: it means we can source a Norland-trained nanny from England, an Arabic-speaking governess from the region, or a maternity nurse who has worked with Royal households — and have them ready to join your family wherever you are.
