Key Responsibilities:
• Sole and shared care of two children aged between 5 and 10
• Supporting the children’s academic progress and assisting with homework
• Organising engaging and age-appropriate activities at home and externally
• Finding and booking clubs, classes, and appointments (doctors, dentists, hairdressers, etc.)
• Helping the children settle into their new school and community
• Preparing healthy meals and snacks for the children
• Managing children’s wardrobes, bedrooms, and any child-related errands

• Proactive, organised, and confident managing logistics and schedules
• Nurturing and emotionally intelligent, able to support the children through change
• Happy to work in both Dubai and London, or London only from January
• Flexible, discreet, and committed to building a long-term relationship with the family
