Important things to know - for host families in the UAE

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.

  • usually 18–60 years, depending on nationality.
  • The UAE has no official “au pair visa.” Childcare providers are sponsored as domestic workers under a UAE domestic worker residence visa.
  • These visas are typically issued for 2 years and are renewable.
  • Health insurance is mandatory and must be provided for the full stay.
  • The caregiver must live with the family and be provided with a private bedroom.

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.
