Considering International job offers

Re: Considering International job offers

My friends who live there have reliable nannies.

I have always considered taking a teaching post in Dubai but main reason I haven’t is due to being too far from my family, I still live in the same house i grew up in with my parents even though I’m married with 3 kids. I have never moved house never mind city or country, so it would be very hard.

Though I am seriously considering it at the moment fot the start of the next school year because my kids are still quite young and it would be easier for them to adjust and start school there. There are plenty of international schools there so no worry about qualifications and I would really like them to go to an islamic school and this is my main concern at the moment as there is nothing available where I am now and very few Muslims. The jobs offered there give free accommodation and flights home. But the distance is my main concern with sick parents.

The weather and activities available are all plus points. As well as it being safe.

Another thing stopping me is if hubby would be able to find employment there or start up a business like he currently has. I realise now that I should have made his move before I had the kids as will be a big adjustment for us all. I am currently looking into child are available there as my younger 2 are not of school age yet so I have to look at all options. I have never left my kids with anyone other than my mum, so that thought is quite scary.
