A highly sought-after opportunity has arisen for an experienced and nurturing nanny to join a fully staffed, formal royal household based in Oman. The role will focus on the care and development of one child, a boy aged 2.5 years old (turning 3 in November).

• Create engaging, stimulating, and varied daily routines
• Work collaboratively with other nannies and household staff
• Follow parental guidance while confidently taking initiative
• Maintain a calm, structured, and nurturing environment
• Travel with the family internationally, including extended stays in London
Candidate Requirements:
• Minimum of 5 years’ experience within UHNW/private households caring for children of a similar age
• Strong early years background or relevant qualification
• Waldorf training or experience is highly desirable
• Native or fluent English speaker
• Warm, calm, and child-led approach to care and development
• Professional, discreet, and highly organised
• Confident working within a formal, fully staffed household
• Flexible and travel-ready
Package:
• Salary from £60,000+ per annum, paid in Omani Rial, doe
• 30 days annual leave
• Private accommodation (bedroom, bathroom, and living area within the residence, offering a high level of privacy)
• Health insurance
• Discretionary bonus
• One return flight home per year
• Access to government medical centres and hospitals
• Relocation package provided if required
The family are known for their kind and generous approach and place a strong emphasis on ensuring their staff feel supported and well looked after at all times, particularly when travelling.
