Hired by 3,500+ families and counting
Every quote below comes from a family who found someone here and hired her themselves.
I had used two agencies before and never once spoke to a candidate before she turned up at my door. Here I read her history, called her last employer, and met her twice before deciding. That is the whole difference.
We shortlisted five profiles on a Sunday night and had three video calls by the end of the week. The one we chose had already worked with a child the same age as our son, which we could see on her profile before we ever made contact.
Daniel and PriyaArabian Ranches, Dubai · Hired a live-out nanny in January
I needed someone who had genuinely done night feeds, not someone who said she could. Being able to read where each candidate had worked, and for how long, saved me hours of guessing.
Fatima K.Khalifa City, Abu Dhabi · Hired a newborn carer in November
What I appreciated most was how clear the site is about what it does and does not check. I knew exactly which documents to ask for myself, so there were no surprises when we went to the typing centre.
Sara M.Al Nahda, Sharjah · Hired a live-out maid in April
Contacting her took about a minute on my phone during a lunch break. She replied the same evening. For a working parent that convenience matters more than anything else.
James O.Palm Jumeirah, Dubai · Hired a live-in nanny in June
We wanted someone who speaks Arabic with the children at home. The language filter narrowed it down in seconds, and the woman we hired has been with us ever since.
Huda R.Al Jimi, Al Ain · Hired a live-in caregiver in February
The things people ask us most
If your question is not here, send it over and we will answer it the same working day.
Are the nannies verified?
We check identity documents, which means the passport and the Emirates ID copy on file, and we record which references and certificates each candidate has given us. Everything else on a profile comes from her. Taking up those references, confirming her visa and medical status, and running any background checks stay with you as the employer, and our safe hiring checklist walks through each step.
Do I speak to the nanny directly?
Yes. Once an interview is confirmed you talk to her yourself. No message is passed through a third party, and the terms of the role are settled between your family and her.
Can I interview more than one nanny?
Yes, and most families do. Save as many profiles as you like and send an interview request to each one. Three or four conversations is normal before anyone decides.
Who arranges the visa?
You do, as the sponsoring family, under the UAE domestic worker rules. If she already holds a transferable employment visa, a transfer is usually quicker than a fresh application. We can point you to the right Tadbeer centre or typing centre, but we do not process visas ourselves.
How quickly can a nanny start?
It depends on her visa. Someone on a cancelled visa or a visit visa can often start within two to three weeks. If she is finishing a contract with another family, expect a month of notice, and a visa transfer usually adds two to four weeks on top of that.
What happens if it does not work out?
Because you hire directly, the agreement sits between your family and the nanny. Your plan lets you come back to the platform and interview other candidates at any point while it is active.
Can nannies list themselves on the site?
Yes, and it costs them nothing. Candidates build their own profile, add their work history and upload documents. We review every profile before it goes live and remove listings that go quiet.
What should I ask in the first interview?
Ask her to describe a normal day with a child the same age as yours, how she handles a difficult moment, and why she is leaving her current family. Then ask to speak to that family yourself.
Does it cost anything to be listed?
No. Creating a profile, appearing in search and receiving interview requests are all free. We never ask a candidate for money at any stage.
Who can see my profile?
Families searching the site see your reference number, category, nationality, age and area. Your full name, work history and documents appear only when a family opens your profile.
How do interview requests reach me?
We pass the request to you with the date, time and format the family suggested. You can accept it, propose another time, or decline without giving a reason.
What documents do I need?
A passport copy to begin with, plus your Emirates ID if you hold one. Reference letters and certificates help families shortlist you, but they are not compulsory.
Can I remove my profile once I find work?
Yes. Tell us and we take the listing down the same working day. We also remove profiles that go quiet so families only see people who are genuinely available.

Hiring a nanny, maid or babysitter in Dubai
Most families in the UAE start the search the same way: a message in a building group, a name passed on by a neighbour, or an agency that sends someone to the door without a conversation first. It works often enough, and it goes wrong often enough that the alternative is worth knowing about.
MyPoppin.com lists candidates so you can read about them before you commit to anything. Each profile carries her category, nationality, age, the emirate she lives in, her work history family by family, the languages she speaks and the documents she has given us. You choose who to meet.
Which category fits your household
- Nanny. Hired for the children. Her day runs on their routine: feeds, naps, play, school runs, homework, bath and bed.
- Maid. Childcare alongside the home. Cleaning, laundry, ironing and cooking, with time for the children built in.
- Babysitter. Part time and after school. School collection, homework, activities and evening cover.
- Governess. Teaching led care, usually for school age children. Reading, homework and languages kept alive at home.
What we check and what stays with you
We review every profile before it goes live, check the passport and Emirates ID copy on file, and record which references and certificates each candidate has submitted. We do not verify references, medical fitness or criminal records, and we do not process visas.
That part belongs to you as the employer: call her previous families, look at original documents rather than photocopies, confirm whether her visa can be transferred, complete the medical test, and put the terms in a signed contract before she starts. Our safe hiring checklist covers each step in order.
Hiring across the emirates
Candidates are listed in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Live-out candidates usually prefer families within a reasonable commute of where they already live, so filtering by area saves everyone time. Live-in candidates are more flexible on location.
How long the process takes
Most families book a first interview within two days of sending a request. From there, a candidate on a cancelled or visit visa can often start in two to three weeks. If she is finishing a contract elsewhere, allow a month of notice plus two to four weeks for the visa transfer.
