UAE law is pretty simple. If she is not employed (in legal terms, sponsored her visa) by you, its illegal for her to work for you.
Irrespective of which other visa she may be on. Her own visa usually means so many illegal options.
Just to put it in perspective, security guard at my community can not cleans my car or waters my garden, legally.
The other side of the coin is this. Lot goes on which is not strictly as per law but in case of any untoward event, you can not even take it to police. It is not safe.
I hope someone can clarify this for me.
Would it be illegal if I employ someone who is working here as a teacher (on her own working visa) to help out with regular babysitting duties - collect after school and stay with children, help in the summer holidays etc until we came home from work. Want to make sure that if I do go ahead with this that I am not, and she is not, doing anything illegal! She will not be a maid, she will be a nanny.
Look forward to any advice.
Many thanks.

You said "her own working visa"
Im not sure what you mean by that - this is what will make all the difference. If she is a teacher and the school has given her a visa then it is absolutely illegal.
