Full-time,  Long-Term Position

Elite Educational Development (EED) is proud to represent a professional Greek family based in the prestigious community of Al Barari, Dubai, who are seeking an exceptional Nanny/Governess for their two sons, aged 4 and 5.

Both boys are fluent English speakers, and the family is looking for a highly professional, long-term childcare and education specialist who can combine outstanding nannying with a structured, educational approach to the children's development outside school hours.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Private Governess, Educational Nanny, or Early Years & Primary Educator seeking a rewarding long-term role within a fully staffed private household in Dubai.

This is a hands-on, structured position centered on the boys' daily routine, educational development, confidence, and overall wellbeing outside of school.

The successful candidate will design engaging, age-appropriate activities that reinforce and extend what the boys are learning in school through reading, creative projects, educational games, sport, outdoor activities, and cultural experiences.

Physical activity forms an important part of the boys' routine, so the nanny/governess will actively encourage participation in running, swimming, outdoor play, and other healthy pursuits while also promoting independence, confidence, excellent manners, and appropriate boundaries.

This role is based within a fully staffed household, meaning the successful candidate's responsibilities relate exclusively to the children and their education, development, routines, and wellbeing. General household duties are not part of this position.

The family enjoys travelling internationally, spending summers in Greece and additional periods elsewhere in Europe. The successful candidate will therefore be comfortable travelling with the family as part of this long-term placement.

• Monday: Off
• Tuesday – Friday: 2:00 pm – 9:00 pm
• Saturday: 10:00 am – 8:00 pm
