Join a Private Home as a Housemaid in Barsha, Dubai
Ever wondered what it’s like to help keep a beautiful home running smoothly in one of Dubai’s most lively neighborhoods? We’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented housemaid to support a private household in Barsha. If you take pride in a job well done and enjoy creating a clean, welcoming environment, this opportunity could be a great fit. With flexible live-in or live-out arrangements available, this role offers both stability and the chance to make an immediate difference in someone’s everyday life.
About the Household
This is a private apartment in Barsha, home to a small, friendly family who value respect and clear communication. While the environment is professional, you’ll notice genuine warmth — the family appreciates hard work and treats their staff with kindness. If you enjoy routine but also like a touch of variety in your day, you’ll fit right in. (And just so you know: they love a good cup of tea during break time.)
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping the apartment spotless: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and ensuring every room looks its best.
- Handling laundry and ironing with care, so clothes and linens are always fresh and ready.
- Organizing cupboards, shelves, and household items — you’ll be the reason everything has its place.
- Assisting with simple meal prep, like washing vegetables or setting the table.
- Making sure all living areas meet high hygiene standards.
- Taking clear instructions and checking in with the family about daily or special tasks.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Previous experience in household cleaning or similar roles.
- Reliability and trustworthiness — the family needs someone they can count on.
- Attention to detail (you notice the little things others might miss).
- Ability to follow instructions and work both independently and as part of a team.
- Basic English communication skills.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in ironing delicate fabrics or organizing wardrobes.
- A friendly, positive attitude.
- Comfort with light cooking or meal prep.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
