A Lebanese family in Doha, Qatar, advertised for a full-time, live-in nanny to help with their children, laundry and basic household tasks. The listing is short, but it includes a few details that are useful to a prospective applicant: the nanny would have a separate room, the family says food, WiFi, clothes and personal items are covered, and there is already one nanny in the household, so the new hire would work as part of a team.
Several practical points are missing, including salary, working hours, contract length and visa arrangements. The listing also contains a discrepancy about the number of children, covered below. Most importantly, the listing appears to be old, so please read the status note before you spend time on it.
Vacancy status: The listing showed “Posted: 4 mo. ago” and a start date of 10 June 2026. As of the date of writing, that start date has passed, and I could not confirm whether the position has been filled, withdrawn or remains open. Treat it as unconfirmed and check with the original listing before applying.

What Does This Job Involve?
You would live in the family’s home and help look after the children, do laundry and handle basic housework. Because the family already has a nanny, the work is likely to be divided between two people, but the listing does not say how. Day-to-day, expect the usual tasks that come with childcare in a household: supervising the children, helping with routines, and keeping their clothes and rooms in order. These examples are an editorial interpretation of the stated duties, not additional duties set by the employer.
The listing also asks for Middle Eastern cooking skills, which suggests some meal preparation may be part of the job, although cooking is not listed in the written duties. Ask directly how much cooking is expected.
Key Responsibilities
- Help with the children (baby care and child care are the main skills listed)
- Do laundry
- Handle basic house tasks
- Work alongside the family’s existing nanny as a team
Not stated: cooking duties in the description (though the skills list mentions Middle Eastern cooking), school runs, night care, pet care, or care for any child’s special needs.
Who Is This Job Suitable For?
Employer’s stated requirements: English language, baby care and child care skills, and Middle Eastern cooking skills. The listing says the contract status can be “Any Situation”.
Practical qualities that may help (editorial view, not requirements): someone who is patient, flexible and comfortable living in a family home would probably settle in better, as would a person who works easily alongside another nanny. If the household has a pet, as the header suggests, comfort around animals could matter, but the listing does not say whether the nanny would care for it.
Requirements Explained
- English. The only language requirement stated. Arabic is not mentioned, even though the family is Lebanese.
- Baby care and child care. Both are listed as main skills, which suggests experience with young children is expected. The number of years is not given.
- Cooking (Middle East). Listed under skills. The level is not specified.
- Contract status: Any Situation. The listing does not define this. It may mean the family will consider candidates in different visa or employment situations, but that is a guess, so ask.
- Age, nationality, education and references: Not specified in the available listing.
Salary and Benefits
The salary, currency, pay frequency and any bonus are not specified in the available listing. Do not assume a figure.
What the family says it provides:
- A separate room (live-in)
- Food
- WiFi
- Clothes
- Personal items
Not specified: salary, medical insurance, annual leave, flights home, end-of-service payment or visa costs. The listing describes the expenses as “all covered,” but the details of what counts as clothes or personal items are not given. Get that in writing.
Working Hours and Conditions
The listing says the day off is flexible, with no number of working days or daily hours given. For live-in work, the most important things to settle early are: the hours you are on duty, how often the day off falls, what happens at night if a child wakes and what rest time you have within the day. “Flexible” can work in both directions, so ask how it is decided and who decides it.
Location and Commute
The job is in Doha, Qatar, and as a live-in role there is no daily commute. The listing gives no neighbourhood, and I have not added any. Because you would live in the household, ask about the type of home, the room’s setup and the family’s expectations about going out on your day off.
Application Process
The listing has an “Apply” button on its original platform, but the platform name and link were not provided, so I cannot describe the exact steps or link to it. Apply only through that original listing and keep the family’s name, the date you applied and any messages you exchange.
How to Prepare Your Application
- Describe your childcare experience: the ages of children you have looked after and for how long.
- Mention any baby care experience specifically, since it is listed first.
- Include references from previous families if you have them, and say whether they can be contacted.
- Mention your cooking experience, especially Middle Eastern dishes, and your English level.
- State clearly your current location, visa or residence status, notice period and when you could start.
- Say that you are comfortable living in and working alongside another nanny, if that is true.
Before You Apply
- Confirm the listing is still open, since the start date has passed.
- Ask for the monthly salary and how it is paid.
- Check whether the family has two or three children, since the listing gives both figures.
- Ask whether the family will arrange your visa or residence permit, if you need one.
- Ask about daily hours, the day off and any pet or cooking duties.
Questions to Ask the Employer
- Is the position still open, and what is the current start date?
- What is the monthly salary, and when and how is it paid?
- How many children are there, and what are their ages?
- What are the daily hours, and how is the weekly day off arranged?
- Who arranges and pays for the visa, medical care and travel?
- What does “Any Situation” mean for my application?
International or Overseas Applicants
The listing does not mention visa sponsorship, a work permit, airfare, medical insurance or an agent. If you are outside Qatar, do not resign from your current job, pay any fee or book travel until the family or the authorised agency has confirmed in writing who sponsors you, who pays for travel, what the salary is and what the contract says. Ask for the contract before you leave your home country, and check that its terms match what was advertised.
Scam and Application Safety
- Use the original listing’s application route and keep a record of all messages.
- Be cautious of anyone, including agents, asking you for recruitment, visa or placement fees. The listing does not mention any.
- Verify who you are really speaking to: a family, a recruitment agency or an intermediary.
- Share personal documents only when you are confident about the employer’s identity, and keep your own copies.
- Get the salary, hours, day off and living conditions in writing before you accept. For live-in roles, also make sure you know who holds your documents and that you keep access to your own.
This is general guidance. Nothing in the listing suggests anything improper.
Editorial View
The listing is attractive in a few ways: you would have a private room, the family says it covers food and other personal expenses and there is already a nanny to share the work with. For someone with childcare and Middle Eastern cooking skills, it could be a straightforward family placement.
Against that, the listing is thin and appears out of date. There is no salary, no hours, no visa detail and an inconsistent number of children. The “Any Situation” wording and the flexible day off need clarification. Live-in domestic work depends heavily on the household, so a clear written agreement matters more here than in most jobs. It may suit experienced nannies already in Qatar, once the family has confirmed that the vacancy remains open.

Final Thoughts
This is a short but clearly aimed live-in nanny opening in Doha. Before putting any effort into it, confirm that it is still available, then settle the salary, the number of children, daily hours and the visa position in writing. If those answers are satisfactory, the private room and covered expenses make it worth considering.
