Question 2

How much does a nanny cost in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Nanny salaries in Dubai range from AED 1,500–3,600 per month. Live-in nannies earn AED 1,800–2,500 plus accommodation and food. Experienced nannies with specialist skills (newborn care, special needs) can earn AED 2,500–3,600. Part-time babysitters charge AED 25–40 per hour. Platform access starts at AED 195 — compare this to agency fees of AED 3,000–8,000.

Question 4

What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

A nanny works full-time or live-in covering feeding, bathing, school runs, and educational activities. A babysitter works part-time or on demand for evenings, weekends, or occasional childcare. ChooseNanny has both full-time nannies and experienced babysitters for flexible bookings.
