A family living in Dubai is seeking a governess/family assistant to care for their two children, ages 4 and 7 years old. The schedule is to be confirmed, but will be a 6-day week, with a later start on the Saturday.

The children attend school full-time, and during these hours, the candidate will attend to other duties as a family assistant; researching, sourcing, making appointments, updating the calendars, etc. Once the school hours are finished, and during the holidays, the children will be the candidate's main responsibility, and the family assistant role will take up less time.
