If your nanny already has her own visa, it’s important to be very careful, especially since she’ll be living in. The main things to think about are having a clear written contract, proper medical insurance, and making sure the arrangement is fully compliant with UAE regulations, not just privately agreed.
Many families don’t realise that even with a nanny on her “own visa,” there can still be risks around liability, insurance coverage, and disputes if something goes wrong. This is why some people choose to go through Tadbeer, as they provide standard MOHRE-compliant contracts, insurance coverage, and clear terms, which removes a lot of uncertainty.
At the very least, I’d recommend getting professional advice or comparing your setup with a Tadbeer framework, so you know you’re covered properly and not missing anything important.
Hope that helps, and best of luck getting everything set up smoothly.
You usually cannot hire a maid who is not on your sponsorship to work in your home in the UAE. If she is sponsored by another family, she is legally allowed to work only for them. Working for someone else can cause fines or problems for both sides. The legal ways are: either sponsor the maid yourself, or hire through licensed Tadbeer centers that provide domestic workers on their visa. This way the contract, visa, and insurance are all legal and clear.
