About Us
Welcome to Nannies & Babes, a place where passion meets purpose and babies thrive in an environment of stimulation, learning, and love. Founded by Lesley, a South African entrepreneur with a deep affinity for children, Nannies & Babes is the culmination of a lifelong desire to make a positive impact on future generations.
Lesley's journey into the world of early childhood development began as her own baby girl approached 6 months old. Fueled by a desire to provide her daughter with the best possible stimulation, Lesley explored the idea of enrolling her in a local nursery school. However, the exorbitant costs associated with nursery school attendance coupled with the expense of a full-time caregiver left Lesley searching for an alternative.
Realizing that many parents faced similar challenges, Lesley had a vision to create nanny-focused playgroups in Dubai. These playgroup meet-ups would not only provide affordable stimulation for babies but also offer peace of mind to parents knowing their little ones were receiving daily enrichment in the company of their trusted caregivers.
At Nannies & Babes, we understand that parents may not always have the time to attend sensory classes with their babies, whether due to work commitments or other responsibilities. That's why our flexible playgroup model is designed to cater to the needs of both parents and caregivers.
Our playgroup meet-ups create opportunities for nannies to learn effective stimulation techniques and engage with the babies they care for, both during the sessions and in their daily routines at home.
Embrace the magic of early childhood with Nannies & Babes.
Together, we are committed to nurturing your baby's growth, sparking their curiosity, and celebrating their milestones.
We’re dedicated to and incredibly passionate about cultural inclusivity, bringing together caregivers from diverse backgrounds like the Philippines, Africa, India, and more. By fostering knowledge-sharing and celebrating experiences, we create a rich tapestry of caregiving practices.
What sets us apart is the lasting impact our caregivers have when they return to their home countries, armed with newfound skills and knowledge. They become catalysts for change, helping to educate and uplift communities in poverty-stricken areas. Join us in this transformative journey, where caregivers become agents of global change and babies thrive in a world of endless possibilities.
At Nannies & Babes, our utmost focus is on the stimulation and development of your precious baby. We understand the critical importance of early development and its profound impact on their growth. That's why we believe in making every moment count. Our playgroup meet-ups provide a secure and engaging environment where babies can freely explore, learn, and achieve essential developmental milestones.
As fellow parents, we share the same concerns about sending young babies to traditional nursery schools. That's why our flexible playgroup model offers a practical and enriching solution for families.
We recognize that each child's journey is unique, and our approach ensures a nurturing and stimulating environment tailored to their needs. When the time is right, as children approach the age of two, they can seamlessly transition to a fixed-term nursery school.
Until then, Nannies & Babes provides a sensible choice for parents seeking a safe and supportive space for their little ones to thrive.
Join our community of caring caregivers and loving families as we embark on a journey of endless possibilities. Let's create cherished memories, inspire lifelong learning, and lay a solid foundation for your little one's bright future.
