Frequently asked questions
How do I find cooks in Abu Dhabi on Nannest?
Browse the profiles on this page or use search to filter by live-in or live-out, availability, languages and experience. Save the profiles you like and send a message to the helper from their profile.
Are the cooks on Nannest checked?
Every profile is reviewed by our team before it is published. Helpers can also choose to have a government-issued ID reviewed; if it checks out, their profile shows an "Identity Verified" badge. This confirms identity only – it is not a background check, a reference check or a check of employment history or legal status. Families should still interview, check references and confirm documents before hiring.
Does Nannest charge placement fees?
No. Nannest is a directory, not a recruitment agency. Families deal with helpers directly and Nannest does not charge a placement fee.
Can I hire a cook directly in the UAE?
Rules for employing domestic workers in the UAE depend on the worker's visa and sponsorship situation. Each profile shows the visa status the helper declared. Check the current requirements with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) before making an offer.
