Join Our Family as a Housemaid/Nanny in Al Satwa, Dubai
Ever wondered what it feels like to be the person a busy household simply couldn't function without? That's the role we're hiring for — and we don't take it lightly. We're a family based in Al Satwa, Dubai, looking for a housemaid/nanny who can handle cooking, cleaning, and caring for our kids with equal care and confidence. If you're already inside the UAE and ready to start soon, this could be the role you've been searching for.
About Us
We're a warm, close-knit family living in the heart of Al Satwa, and our home runs on teamwork, respect, and a good sense of humor. We believe the people who help run our household are part of the family — not just staff. If you bring honesty, energy, and a genuine love for children, you'll fit right in. We're looking for someone to grow with us long-term, not just fill a spot.
What You'll Be Doing
- Prepare daily meals for the family — simple, healthy home cooking that everyone actually enjoys
- Keep the home clean, tidy, and organized, from the kitchen to the kids' rooms
- Care for our children — school routines, playtime, meals, and keeping them safe and happy
- Handle general household tasks like laundry, ironing, and light tidying throughout the day
- Help keep things running smoothly so our home stays a calm, happy place
What You'll Bring
- Solid experience in cooking, cleaning, and childcare — you know your way around a household
- A caring, patient nature, especially with children
- Honesty, reliability, and a strong sense of responsibility
- You must currently be inside the UAE — this is essential
- Any nationality is welcome; we care about who you are, not where you're from
Not sure you tick every box? We'd still love to hear from you — experience matters, but attitude matters more.
Why You'll Love Working Here
- Salary of AED 2,500 per month
- Free visa — we handle the paperwork, you focus on the job
- Free accommodation provided
- Medical insurance covered
- Immediate joining preferred — we're ready when you are
- A respectful, family-style workplace where you're valued, not just managed
We know moving into a new household takes trust on both sides. That's why we offer stability, fair treatment, and a home where you'll feel genuinely appreciated. If that sounds like the right fit, we'd love to hear from you — kindly drop your CV to apply.
