New here!!!!
Hi
I am mother of four living in the uk whilst my husband is living and working in Dubai. I work as a childminder, is there a demand for childminders in Dubai? Any advice gratefully received... Many thanks

Welcome to BE and good luck!
Though there's a demand, don't think the pays going to be what you'd be used to though I'd imagine....

I'm afraid in general the pay isn't great because the cost of 'domestics' is minimal, people often employ workers from east Asia. Perhaps you could try and specialise, get the training before you go, and look after kids who have different needs. Good luck with your journey.
