[quote=nannydebsays]Is this job through a reputable agency?

If so, have they (the agency) told you specifically what rules you will need to obey while living in the UAE? Are you comfortable with those rules?

Will the agency be assisting you in getting your visa/work permits in order?

Have you spoken face to face/directly in person with the former nanny? Have you asked her the questions you are asking here? What did she say?

What details do you know about the family? Are the expatriates living in Dubai? Are they citizens of Dubai/UAE? Have you spoken with THEIR references?

Have you come up with a plan for leaving if the job is not as represented?

To address your questions:

1) No, I would say that making you move to another room when company comes is not OK, especially if they have a larger home. It shows a disrespect for your privacy.

2) No, I think they should provide your meals, and if you want something outside of their normal fare then you might need to buy that yourself. (Assuming that you can freely walk to a market without being accompanied by a man...)

3) While I think employers asking to meet their LI caregiver's friends is normal, I think the questions I asked above would need to be answered for me to offer an opinion on this issue..[/quote]
