The Nanny Salary Debate

 

Housekeeping Co

Many families in the UAE have a full-time live-in helper to look after their children after school and complete housework.

One Family may define a helper as a #Maid, whilst other family requirements are to “educate” their children emotionally, socially and in some parts educationally they may consider her as a #Nanny. Families who have grown-up children, may consider the helper to be a # housekeeper.

What should I pay the Nanny !??

Hiring a Nanny on your own visa can be costly and a massive stress to the family emotionally and financially if it doesn’t work out.

Nannies in Dubai or throughout the uae are generally from African and Asian countries and offer varying skill set, education , language, emotional and social skills.

 

Nannies in Dubai earn considerably more than their western educated and certified UK child care-givers, who after all have to fork out for living expenses, accommodation and transportation, and obviously they have to contribute towards income tax and national insurance every payroll!,. Whilst a UK nanny would traditionally earn 3 x gross salary of a UAE nanny , her net income results in resulting in a 20% net salary offering less than $530 disposable income

Compare that to the UAE nannies earning a basic salary with all expenses paid, resulting in a 100% net salary to the worker, affording her a monthly disposable income of $685

 

Be cautious of all the hidden costs!...and if you don’t hire the right worker, you are stuck having paid so mush at the beginning on private sponsorship, gifting her little extras etc etc…
