Babysitter in Dubai, a trained carer for the evening, the day out, the hotel room.
Babysitter in Dubai by the hour: a Care Companion (CNA + BLS, a trained carer, not a nurse) who minds a well child in your home or in your hotel suite. She does the meal, the bath, the bedtime and the settling, sends you a note when the child is asleep, and knows the red flags to call us about. A doctor is on standby if the evening turns.
Pick what you need help with.

What is the booking for?
When a sitter is the right call, and when your child needs a nurse.
Babysitting is for a well child, at home or in a hotel room. A child who is unwell, or on a clinical plan, needs a nurse instead, and we will say so before you book.
- A well child who needs minding for an evening, a day out or a meeting
- Visiting Dubai and you want a sitter in your hotel room while you are at dinner
- A mild sick day at home: a cold, a cough, a child who just needs company
- A toddler to keep busy while you work from home or feed the new baby
- Repeat days, a weekend, or a short trip, quoted as a package
- Insulin, tube feeds, dressings or oxygen: a DHA-licensed nurse does those, not a sitter
- The first nights home after a child's surgery or a hospital discharge
- A newborn in the first weeks who needs feeding and weight support
- Hard breathing, a fit, or any emergency, call 998

Ask about a package"I hired a nanny to go with me to Aquapark. Jovelyn was great! She was really good with my child and he loved her. Communication was easy and everything went smooth. Next time I need a nanny she will be the one I choose again."
"Jovelyn has been very reliable and confident in what she's doing, which gave us peace of mind. We appreciate her service and dedication."
Questions.

How much does a babysitter in Dubai cost?
AED 75 per hour, with a four-hour minimum, at home or in your hotel room. That is the Care Companion rate, a trained carer (CNA + BLS), not a nurse. Repeat days and weekends get a package price, agreed in writing before the first booking.
Is the babysitter a nurse?
No. Your babysitter is a Care Companion: CNA-certified, BLS-trained, with paediatric experience, a trained carer, not a nurse. Clinical work such as insulin, tube feeds, dressings or complex breathing care is done by a DHA-licensed nurse, a separate tier that is quoted in writing after a free home visit.
Can you send a babysitter to my hotel?
Yes. She comes to your room or suite while you are at dinner, a wedding or a meeting downstairs. Send us the hotel name and room number with the booking and she signs in at reception as your guest.
What ages do you sit for, and how long is a booking?
Newborn to about 14. The shortest booking is four hours. Babies in their first weeks are usually a better fit for newborn care, where the Care Companion is trained on feeds, weight and settling.
What if my child becomes unwell during the booking?
She calls you first, then our clinical team. A doctor can come to the house or the hotel in about 45 minutes for AED 300, and a nurse can be sent for anything clinical. Hard breathing, a fit or any emergency means 998 first, and she calls it.
