Hiring a Filipino nanny who is already in the UAE

What to put in the contract
- Monthly salary (at least the embassy minimum), paid on a fixed date.
- Weekly day off, working hours and annual leave.
- Accommodation and food for live-in roles.
- Return ticket and medical insurance, both employer obligations in the UAE.
