Family sponsorship

Goodday all

Maybe this question has been addressed already and I missed it.

I intend to move to Dubai with my child 7 years old in the course of the year, how much does the government expect me to earn in order to sponsor my kid?

In terms of getting a nanny, is it best to get someone from my home country in Africa or should I get one from UAE from an agency, and which agencies with a good reputation should I consider in this case?

Lastly, is it clear from the government whether schools will reopen in September especially for lower primary?

I appreciate your responses.

Hi,

As an experienced person in this child care profession, I would like to say that you should always hire a maid or nanny from a government approved and licensed Tadbeer center.

As of March 2021, the ministry shut all other maid service agencies to make the hiring process only through Tadbeer.

There is a fine/jail term for those violating the rule and hiring illegal maids or nannies, so please beware of it as well.
