Try to contact her or wait for her if you can. Otherwise, cancel her visa.

Dear Questioner,

According to UAE law, if your nanny has absconded while on holiday, you should immediately report the matter to the right authority and provide them with all the necessary information, such as her name, passport details, and the reason for her absconding.

In the meantime, you should also inform your sponsor (employer) and the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization (MOHRE) about the situation.

They will assist you in finding a replacement nanny and can also help with the legal process of canceling your nanny's residence visa.
