What Our Clients say

Here’s what our families have to say about CloudNine Kids
Good morning, Hope all is well. Just wanted to say Juliet has been lovely. She’s so gentle and caring for my daughter. I would definitely book with her again in the future.
Amnah
4 month old girl
As soon as I met her I felt relaxed that Rosie was in safe hands. She replied quickly to messages and was really lovely when we got home and gave me detailed breakdown of how Rosie had been and how she settled her and Rosie was fast asleep 😍
Davaar
3 month old girl
I just want to say that Marivic was sooooo incredible, she loves her job, always showed up early for her shifts and was a joy to have around. So respectable, patient and loving. My newborn was so calm with her. Even my 5 year old daughter got attached to her. She made my postpartum journey an absolute breeze.
Ayse
Mother of a newborn & 5 year old
Fantastic! Not a tear! Welinda is lovely, very personable and friendly. The children hugged her on arrival and all went well from there. She texted me to inform me they fell asleep just after 7.30pm and didn’t waken again! An easy night for her and credit to her that they felt so comfortable. I would like to book her again later in the week if she has availability? Many thanks! 🤩
Chloe
Mother of a 3 & 5 year old
I couldn’t be happier with the babysitting service from Cloud Nine! Joan came to look after my son Alfie, and she was absolutely wonderful. From the moment she arrived, Joan made Alfie feel comfortable and at ease. She was professional, kind, and clearly experienced, engaging Alfie with fun activities and keeping him entertained the entire time, he particularly enjoyed the park, she sent updates and photos, he had so much fun!

I felt completely at ease knowing Alfie was in such caring hands. Joan’s warm personality and attentiveness were truly exceptional, and I will definitely be using Cloud Nine again. Highly recommend to any parent looking for trustworthy and reliable care!
Louise
Mother of a 1 year old
It was amazing! Jennie was fantastic. Really reassured me and made me feel at ease before leaving. She immediately appeared caring and knowledgeable. Even while our daughter was sleeping, she took care of sterilizer and bottle, which was super helpful. We’d love to hire her again in the future!
Francesca
Mother of a 4.5 month old
I felt very relaxed leaving her for the first time with Catherine and when I came home Belle was so happy and calm! Will definitely request Catherine again
Olivia

Mother of a 4 month old

We wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for the wonderful service provided by Gelyn during our stay in Dubai. As a first-time user of nanny services, I was understandably nervous, especially given that my 3-year-old is non-verbal. However, Gelyn’s expertise and compassionate approach exceeded all my expectations. Her skillful care made a significant difference to our trip, and both my younger and older children had only the highest praise for her. They genuinely miss her since leaving Dubai. Gelyn is truly an asset to your team, and I couldn’t be more appreciative of the positive impact she had on our family. Thank you for having such a remarkable professional on your staff.

Hi! Just to let you know Jezza arrived 20 mins early and is doing a great job! I have a massive deadline and am able to work and know that he is learning and having fun without parking him in front of the TV.
Rachel
Mother of a 2 & 5 year old
Dear Team, I would like to recognize the efforts of the two caregivers I had the past few days. I have tried different companies but the level of professionalism and care my baby had was incomparable. I would like to thank Rissel and Maria Elena. Plus I hope the company recognizes them they are true assets to the company and the reputation they adding is great.
Fatema
Mother of a 5 month old
I just want to say how much of a credit Josephine is to cloud 9. She was amazing and fitted in like a glove. We were worried it would take her time to settle but she made a positive impact almost immediately which made our time in Dubai stress free
Nadeem
Father of a 9 month & 6 year old
Amihra was absolutely fantastic, she made a huge difference to our holiday and was brilliant with the children. Our youngest one learned lots of new skills and really developed in Amihra’s care, and our older one loved playing with her and trusted her right away. We would not hesitate to have Amihra look after our children again.
Johannes
Father of a 9 month & 2 year old
Just wanted to say, Remelyn was amazing. Like sooooo so good. I don’t know where you find these people but I’m sad I couldn’t snap her up before you did 🙂 Honestly it really shows, we can’t find anyone of the same standard!
Alice
Mother of an 18 month & 3.5 year old
Krishia was amazing. Arrived early, professional, polite, debriefed at the end of the night and my son had a nice time playing games with her. We were very happy.
Gemma
Mother of a 7 year old
CloudNine is so professional in their communication and has a great response time. Yesterday Haidi came to our house and she was so lovely with our children, very professional, a great listener and the kids adored her. We will definitely ask her to come back next time we need a babysitter (and she was great with our dog too) and use CloudNine Kids!
Margret
Mother of a 10 & 8 year old
I wanted to give you my feedback regarding Jayzel, she’s a beautiful soul and a great carer, who you can trust because she will always give her best to our little ones. She has a wonderful energy and is very creative to spend time with a baby making him engage at all times. You should bare this in mind to only send her to your top clients and especially to nice people who will give the right value to her capacities!
Thaysa
Mother of an 8 month old
Jennifer was amazing. It was my first time using your services and first time leaving my baby with a non-family member. From the moment Jennifer arrived she made me feel comfortable with her professionalism. She arrived on time, and quickly settled in. We communicated throughout the night, and she followed my instructions. Overall extremely happy with your service and will definitely book Jennifer for the future occasions. 🙂
Anja
Mother of a 5 month old
What a life saving service. I used cloud nine once my maternity leave ended and truly.. they sent me an angel and her name was Jenny. She looked after my little boy and allowed me to focus on my work. She made my back to work and post partum journey so smooth. So thankful for you Jenny and cloud nine thank you!
Afnan
Mother of a newborn baby
Cecille was very nice, pleasant and she seemed to worry about doing the right thing which is reassuring for a mum when you leave your baby and go to a different city! I know she just wanted to make sure she updated me since I asked for updates before I left, which was cute and shows how much she cared. She was super enthusiastic with S and I could tell right away that she is made for the job. It’s nice to see someone who loves babies. She cleaned the bunch of dirty bottles and baby dishes I had left, which saved me some energy as I got back at midnight, so very much appreciated. We would definitely feel comfortable having her again in the future.
Sarah C
Mother of a 13 month old
Lovely lady, Jojo. I spent just a few minutes with her on arrival, briefed her and then left. She made a good impression right from the beginning and everything was in order when we got back. Baby was happy and seemed well taken care of, so all in all, would I like to see Jojo back? Yes. Would I recommend you to someone else? Yes.
Renate
Mother of an 18 month old
Good morning, Saturday evening went well, was lovely to meet Dympna. She was great with the kids and very professional. She sent me a summary of her evening with the kids (like what they ate/ how the older 2 went to bed/time etc) which I didn’t ask her to do but was so lovely of her. I know we’ve met a lot of the nannies who work with Cloud Nine now (I think there’s maybe only 1 we haven’t!🤣) and it must be hard for them to come into a new family but I have to say they have all been great with the kids and so professional which for me makes leaving the kids with someone I’ve not met so much easier.
Louise
Mother of a 1, 3 and 4 year old
Just a quick note to say how much we loved Jo! This was our first babysitting experience, and although we were home (albeit cooking in the kitchen all day for a dinner party), it was AMAZING to see how she interacted with our daughter – she was creative, patient, and extremely friendly. I think we may have found our saviour. I know you can’t always guarantee her, but where you can, we will definitely be back! Thank you.
Erdem
Father of a 3 year old
I’ve been using Cloud Nine’s services for over four years now. They’ve been our support through the years for childcare, training and all baby-related help. We’ve had the best experience with their staff and on top of that they’re organized, supportive and have good administration. Can’t recommend enough!
Lena
Mother of a 4.5 year old & newborn
By far the most reliable and accommodating childcare service I’ve ever used. Never had any hesitation leaving my two year old in their care. Would highly recommend to anyone living or visiting Dubai
Saima
Mother of a 2 year old
Good evening! Just want to let you know how relieved I am today ur service is amazing! And Dee (Dympna) is amazing Matthew is so attached to me despite that she knew how to handle the situation and he was so comfortable with her 🙏
Naya
Mother of a 19 month old
Ailyn arrived perfectly well before the time to get settled in and see Thomas before his 10am nap. He had so many smiles for her and she was great to chat to him while I was changing him, very hands on like she always minds him, it’s amazing. Thank you!
Mary
Mother to a 6 month old
CloudNine are very professional and reliable. I have been using their services for almost a year and never (not even once) had any challenges. The employ a team of highly trained, professional and caring nannies. My daughter fell in love with them and so did I. They are the best and would definitely recommend them.
Roula
Mother to a 2 year old
Lovely, truly helpful management team. The nannies we’ve had through cloud 9 have been so professional and friendly. On the one (rare) occasion we had a bit of a mismatch for our family, management were so quick and resourceful to provide a solution. Will definitely continue to use cloud 9 for occasional weekend support and to substitute our live-in nanny during her holidays. Highly recommend!
Brit
Mother to 2 year old twins & a 5 year old
Cloudnine are amazing, they helped us for the past 3 years with our nanny hiring and sometimes weekend assistance. We thank you guys (Kiara and Angelica) and we appreciate your constant help and superior quality. Our daughter has a better education and care because of you.
Tony
Father to a 3 year old
We are very happy with Ailyn. She is experienced, professional, follows instructions, the children like and respect / listen to her. We have been missing this trusted childcare support in our home.
Clare
Mother of a 2 & 4 year old
Loida is really good, the boys were very happy! She kept everyone busy. She knows what she is doing and how to take care of cranky toddlers 🙂
Sameeha
Mother of 15 month old twins & 5 year old
Last night was our first experience using your services. It was a an easy simple and great experience. Noemi was absolutely wonderful. My kids said she was the best sitter they have had. She was early, kind, patient and fun! Thank you. We will definitely be using your services in the future.
Sarah
Mother of a 10 month, 8, 10 and 12 year old
Feedback on our Nanny Training Course with Carissa 🙂 … Thank you so much for all your hard work with Cathy. She has come home absolutely buzzing with excitement and recounting every single thing from today’s training with great enthusiasm. I can see she is already feeling much more empowered and confident!
Jessica
Mother of a 5 year old
We have used CloudNine Kids and I cannot express how amazing the nanny we had from there was!! A lot of the nannies there are already nursery teachers or assistants so know exactly what to do with your little one and how to stimulate them to ensure they thrive. CloudNine were incredibly helpful and supportive which made going back to work so much easier for me. Every day I would come home and our little one had learnt something new and got to do lots of arts and crafts.
Clare
Mother of a 17 month old

Really wonderful thanks! I felt very relaxed leaving her for the first time with Catherine and when I came home Belle was so happy and calm! Will definitely request Catherine again 🙂

Olivia

Mother of a 4.5 month old

I was very happy using your services honestly Shiela was so good with my boy, I am beyond happy, you have won me over from using any other caregiving service, 5 full stars! I’ve already told all my mom friends about CloudNine💗👏🏼 For sure will be working with you in the future! I felt Shiela was educated specifically for my toddlers needs (with activities etc..) and she completely removed screen time which i thought was impossible before her. Please keep up whatever training you give your employees it makes your services outstanding compared to anything else I’ve ever tried
Jo
Mother of a 17 month old
I can’t recommend CloudNine Kids enough! Angelica was such a pleasure to deal with and brought calm to my chaos through her wonderful childcare services. All the ladies were lovely, trustworthy and sensible and as a working mum I couldn’t have asked for more!
Shehara
Mother of 2 & 6 year old
It was a pleasure to work with the CloudNine Kids team throughout the entire journey or hiring our new nanny; they could not have been friendlier and more attentive to our needs. We had a few specifics that were “must-haves” for us and they made sure not only those were met, but the candidates we met were above and beyond our expectations. They were with us every step of the way and were so understanding with working around our very busy schedule. We are really happy with the whole end to end process, as well as our new nanny who has settled right in. We will not hesitate to contact CloudNine Kids again in the future or recommend them to anybody who is looking for an additional nanny like us or a nanny in general. A huge thank you to the entire team, it was a pleasure working with you.
Hanah
Employer
Attending the workshop with CloudNine kids was such an amazing experience, when it comes to childcare it’s very important for any one working with young Children to be well trained. Yes I agree some of us are teachers or some are nannies with many years of experience but we have to also know that time keeps changing and so do the children and their needs. CloudNine Kids training gave me confidence to be a fun, supportive and an understanding teacher. It developed my passion to work with these beautiful young minds and be a part of their early life journey. The course is carefully designed for every person taking care of young children from early year practitioner to new mothers to be and to everyone who has passion to work with children. At the end it was so lovely to meet Ms Angelica and attend this knowledgable session with her, I am extremely confident to be a good teacher to my young children (my chicki monkeys), I can’t thank her enough. I enjoyed every moment of the session and hope to see her soon for upcoming sessions. Thank you Miss & entire CloudNine Kids team 🙂
Poonam
Nursery Teacher in Dubai
Angelica is a fantastic nanny trainer. She came to visit us for two days and taught our nanny everything about safety, nutrition, hygiene and simulation for our two children one of which is a baby and the other a toddler. What I love about Angelica is that she really listens to your concerns and incorporates these into the training. She knew how to speak and connect with our nanny so that she really learned a lot! Even after the course was finished my nanny was still sending her homework on WhatsApp. I can really recommend CloudNine Kids!
