British Early Years Governess for 18-Month-Old Girl — Al Barari, Dubai — Ref: FG7074
Posted by Elite Educational Development · Full-time live-out, Mon–Fri 9am–5pm · Start ASAP
EED is delighted to be representing a private family based in Al Barari, Dubai, seeking an experienced Early Years Governess for their daughter, aged 18 months, to lead her early learning and play through structured, engaging days at home.
This is a full-time, live-out role, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. The focus is education through play — early language, numbers and other foundational skills, delivered within a calm and consistent routine that prepares her for kindergarten, which she is expected to start in a year or two. Cooking is minimal, and this is a teaching and developmental role rather than a nanny-and-housekeeping one.
The family speaks English and German at home. Some travel may be required, including family holidays, with details discussed in advance. The initial contract is for one year.

- Leading structured early learning and play for an 18-month-old girl

- Based in the UAE already, with a valid Dubai visa, Emirates ID and health insurance in place
- Current First Aid certification
- Warm, calm and reliable, with a professional, discreet manner
- Available for an ASAP start
- Excellent, verifiable references
- Full, clean driving licence useful but not essential
The Offer
- Salary: AED 25,000–35,000 per month, depending on experience
