UHNW Family from the UK living in Dubai Marina. I am working as an Executive Assistant half of the day handling business-related matters, and assisting the CEO and his 3 older children with their businesses. The remaining half of the day, I assist the younger children in their transition from homeschooling in London into going to regular schools by preparing academic activities, assuring that the kids are occupied with helpful extracurricular activities, and communicating with their new teachers about what needs to be addressed academically and socially. I come with the kids if there’s a need for me to be there. I also help the CEO’s wife with their newborn whenever I am free. I make healthy meal plan preps for the entire week to ensure that the chef will make these for the kids. I ensure that the household helpers are in line and doing everything by my client’s standards. I handle invoicing for household needs including shopping for the kids' needs and ensure we never run out of household stock and supplies.
