About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Looking for your next role as a trusted helper in a welcoming household? A Dubai-based family is currently seeking a female maid who genuinely enjoys keeping things neat and making daily life smoother for everyone around her. If you take pride in your work and love the sense of accomplishment a sparkling home brings, this could be just the job you’ve been searching for. Flexibility, reliability, and a positive attitude matter more than any fancy certificates here!
About the Family
This isn’t just another job—it’s a chance to be part of a thoughtful, respectful household that values honesty and hard work. The family is based in Dubai’s Sajjah area and appreciates team players who treat the home as they would their own. They rarely shy away from a friendly chat and wholeheartedly believe that kindness goes both ways. The working environment is straightforward, supportive, and centered around mutual trust—no micromanaging here, just clear expectations and respect for your efforts.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping every corner of the home clean, tidy, and comfortable—from the living room to the laundry room
- Sweeping, mopping, dusting, and occasionally tackling those “deep clean” projects (yes, the silverware drawer counts!)
- Handling daily household tasks like making beds, organizing rooms, and ensuring supplies are stocked
- Assisting with laundry, ironing, and maintaining wardrobes in a neat and tidy manner
- If you enjoy cooking, helping out in the kitchen is welcomed, but it’s not required
- Respecting the family’s privacy and preferences at all times
- Occasionally running small errands or handling simple household requests
What You’ll Bring
Must-haves:
- Female candidate, with a caring and trustworthy nature
- Some previous experience as a maid or house helper (informal or formal experience are both valued)
- Reliable, hardworking, and honest—these qualities mean everything here
- Willingness to follow instructions and ask when unsure
- Availability for a full-time position in Dubai’s Sajjah area
Nice-to-haves:
- Basic cooking skills
- Conversational English or another language spoken by the family (always a bonus!)
- A warm, friendly demeanor that makes a house feel like a home
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary—discussed based on your experience and needs
- Full-time stability with room for trust and growth
- Supportive, fair-minded employers who see you as part of the family, not just staff
- Respect for your work-life balance
- A positive, safe working environment where your efforts are noticed (and appreciated!)
- Opportunity to increase your role over time—especially if you want to try out cooking or develop new skills
This is more than just a job; it’s a chance to work where trust and kindness are as important as hard work. If you’re ready to join a family that values all you do, this could be the perfect fit.
