"I was surprised at how naturally our au pair fitted into our family life."
"Having an au pair has made after-school hours far less stressful for everyone."
Working parents are always short on time. An au pair can help up to 30 hours per week, giving you more peace of mind and real quality time. They help with the kids, tidying up, cooking, school runs, etc.
More than 3,000 families chose an au pair through Nina.care: less stress, more structure, and children who learn English or Spanish along the way. Many have a driver’s license and specific experience with newborns. 👉 In many cases, your au pair can start within 2 months.

Hosting an au pair in the United Arab Emirates usually costs around AED 1500–2500 per month in pocket money, plus free room and board. Families may also cover local transport costs and sometimes contribute toward health or accident insurance. Using an agency adds extra placement fees.
An au pair in the United Arab Emirates helps mainly with childcare (school drop-offs/pick-ups, playing, babysitting, homework support) and light household duties (tidying children’s rooms, laundry for kids, preparing simple meals). They are not expected to do heavy cleaning, gardening, or act as professional nannies.
The standard arrangement is 25–30 hours per week. Au pairs must have at least one full day off per week and time for exploring, study, or social activities. For longer placements, 30 days of paid holiday per year is expected.
A written, government-approved employment contract is needed in the UAE. It should outline duties, working hours, pocket money, holiday, insurance, and termination terms. This helps avoid misunderstandings and is often required by agencies.
Families often use online platforms or au pair agencies. Agencies can be very helpful with contracts, insurance, and making sure the au pair meets visa rules.
If issues arise, families should first try direct communication. If the situation cannot be resolved, the agreement can be ended with reasonable notice (commonly 2 weeks). Agencies can step in to mediate and help arrange a replacement if needed.
Au pairs in the United Arab Emirates are seen as part of the family, not employees. Families are expected to include them in meals, activities, and social life. Cultural exchange is central: au pairs often improve their English while sharing their own culture and language with the children.
