About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Interested in Helping Out in a Friendly Home? Read On!
Looking for a change of pace, or maybe just a temporary position to fill some time (and your wallet)? We’re a small, respectful family in Ajman’s Al Al Mwaihat 2 neighborhood, reaching out for a bit of help around the house. There’s no complex schedule or demanding routine here—just a calm, comfortable environment where your presence will truly make a difference. If you appreciate a role with flexibility (and the freedom to move on when the next opportunity calls), this could be the perfect fit.
About Us
We’re a cozy trio—husband, wife, and a lovely mother-in-law—sharing a tidy one-bedroom apartment. Our home is our sanctuary, and while we keep things laid-back, we know even a small household needs some extra care now and then. No kids here, so the atmosphere is peaceful and rarely chaotic. We’re known to treat everyone under our roof like family, and yes, the tea is always hot (and generously shared).
What You’ll Be Doing
- Lend a hand with general cleaning: sweeping, mopping, tidying up living spaces, and keeping the kitchen fresh.
- Help out with laundry—washing, folding, maybe even sharing your own tricks for stubborn stains!
- Support light housekeeping tasks as they come up (think: washing dishes, dusting surfaces, fluffing up pillows).
- Work just a few hours each day at agreed-upon times—no overnights or long shifts expected.
- Collaborate with us on a fair daily routine that fits your comfort and availability.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- A positive, reliable presence and respect for personal space
- Some prior experience with housekeeping or domestic work (professional or personal)
- Basic comfort with common household tasks and an eye for cleanliness
Nice-to-Haves:
- A flexible, easygoing attitude—we're pretty relaxed, too!
- Willingness to share a friendly chat now and then (but privacy always respected)
- Familiarity with households in the UAE a bonus, but not required
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Fair daily allowance for your time, with respectful and timely payments
- Work in a drama-free, adult-only home—no hectic family bustle here
- Temporary, truly flexible arrangement; decide your own schedule and stay as long as it suits you
- A supportive and kind family environment—your comfort matters to us
- Just three people in a clean, uncluttered apartment—less chaos, less mess
We think you’ll appreciate the relaxed vibe and gentle pace around here. If you’re ready for a straightforward, positive experience—as part of a small and appreciative household—let’s connect!
