MATERNITY NURSE/NANNY

ABU DHABI

Job Reference: HU4270

Essential Requirements: Previous experience working as a maternity nurse and nanny, French speaker is a bonus.

An exciting opportunity for a highly experienced, mature, qualified childcare professional to take on a role that transitions from Maternity Nurse to Nanny/Governess over time.  (Child is just starting to be introduced to solids very slowly.) A Night Nurse is employed so your role is purely day-time hours, unless travelling.

The ideal candidate will have:

•             Extensive experience working with infants and young children. Be willing to care for siblings that come along - Experience in the Middle East and familiarity with the customs and Culture differences between the Middle East and other countries and ability to work well with the other staff members.

•             A strong educational background and excellent social skills to support the child’s development in a well-rounded, polished and tactful manner.  Exceptional organisational skills and ability to support a very busy working but high-profile mother with kindness, always working with her wishes in mind.

              Happy working within a very high-profile family and understand respect and formality – albeit that this is a very Westernised family, they do follow all Muslim holidays.  Ability to meet and communicate with the families’ high-profile friends and guests.

•             The ability to speak French is a big bonus, although not essential.  Fluent spoken English is essential in order that you can liaise with workers from other Countries, who all speak English – You will have had previous experience working in the Middle East with great experience in the newborn to under 10 age group.

This role is with a very welcoming and high-profile family. Responsibilities will focus entirely on childcare, as household duties are managed by other staff members.  Other ancillary but qualified staff form part of the team. 

The position begins as a 6-day-per-week maternity placement, moving to a Nanny and then Nanny/Governess role.  Additional childcare staff are available in a junior capacity for Nanny to arrange and organise, however these are qualified nurses and thus a friendly and respectful manner toward them is essential.

Accommodation includes beautiful private bedroom, with ensuite-a guest suite within the residence of a very high standard.

All meals provided, comprehensive health and dental insurance, and a highly competitive salary package. Return flights to country of choice (1 Business or 2 Economy) holidays to be confirmed and up to 8 weeks holidays of 2 x 1 month.

Highly recommended position, with a really lovely family, who are looking for a long term “Mary Poppins” to manage the nursery and arrange play dates, assist with early learning and generate beautiful manners.

This is a long-term position for a qualified childcare provider who is looking for a family role and wants to settle down and stay with the clients for several years.  (HU4270)
