Finding a suitable nanny or domestic worker in Dubai can often be a difficult process for families. Although most workers market themselves as a ‘nanny’, many have completely different skillsets. Often, finding a nanny from social media will only lead to disappointment, and trying to find the right fit, who is also professionally vetted and matched, can prove a nightmare for many families, as this turns into an emotional rollercoaster and costly exercise.

That’s why Housekeeping Co (the first Tadbeer centre opened on Sheikh Zayed Road) are here to ensure that you and your family find a reliable, hardworking domestic worker that can build a long-lasting relationship in the home. Ethically recruiting and upskilling workers in Dubai since 2011, the company is British-owned and managed, making it a great fit for the British Mums community.

Housekeeping Co are MOHRE approved to supply domestic workers under the Ministry of Labour contract, and they understand how complex it can be to bring a nanny into your family. That’s why they helped define what a ‘nanny’ really is.

For example, as per the domestic workers’ classification model, a nanny by Housekeeping Co’s standards should have over two years experience dealing with children, and their responsibilities should be much more about the children’s development and stimulation, rather than the housework. A nanny is also required to have higher social skills, education and experience over other domestic workers, who are generally untrained and unskilled (therefore can be taught), and will need more time and effort from her employer to be shown how things should be done.

Finding you the perfect match – Your Nanny

Housekeeping Co is able to recruit and deploy vetted, experienced and reliable workers onto expat private sponsorships. This means UAE families can have a fresh start with their worker, who has come directly from their source country and undergone strict recruitment procedures.

Housekeeping Co also offers its own 30-day-settling-in-programme, a simple guide that has an incredible impact on how you and your nanny develop a working relationship.  Coming from different cultures and backgrounds, there will be many issues you won’t have even thought of yet to overcome, and the step-by-step guide, although taking time to complete, will help you navigate what can be an uneasy time for both parties as you get settled into a new routine.

If you choose to go through Housekeeping Co’s Tadbeer centre, your worker will also be ethically onboarded, and receive an incredible 120 hours of FREE training on their days off. They will then be certified in Qualified Nanny UK L3 in the early years, first aid and housekeeping practices, all of which will stand them in great stead to be a part of your home.

Discounts for British Mums

Opting for Housekeeping Co’s traditional recruitment package is a much safer option than employing a candidate privately from the local market, which offers no guarantee or assistance if things go wrong. Recruitment fees are usually AED 12,000, however, Housekeeping Co is offering British Mums an exclusive discount of AED 1,500, reducing this to AED 10,500 + VAT. In addition, your worker will also get 120 hours of FREE training included in this price, with the classes worth AED 3,800.

If you already have a nanny in Dubai, you can still take advantage of Housekeeping Co’s services, with a two-year company visa for AED 8,500 (savings of AED 9,460 on 2-year private sponsorship.)
