Which option is best in Dubai when looking for a nanny........the classifieds or agencies?
Thanks!
I think if you have the time, then opt for classifieds.
If hiring through an agency and if it's a nanny you want then stay clear of Howdra maids. They send you a worker who will work for you as a nanny but if there are any issues they pull out the worker (without any re-imbursement) saying that the contract states she is a 'house cleaner' not a nanny and there's nothing you would be able to do about it as it is in the contract. They hire them as house cleaners as they have to pay them a lesser salary than if they were hired as nannies.
Good luck!:)
Hello Ladies!
I am new to expatwoman.com and I need some help.
My husband is a British national on an Abu Dhabi visa but we are living in Dubai. I am an Indian on a Dubai visa (sponsored by my company). We are looking to hire an Indian househelp directly from India. My husband will be the sponsor.
1. Does anyone know if this is possible given that he has an Abu Dhabi visa but living in Dubai?
2. As the househelp is from India is it still necessary for me to have an affidavit signed stating that I am not related to the househelp even if I am not the sponsor?
Any help/info would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!!
