Join Our Family as a Full-Time Muslim Domestic Worker in Abu Dhabi
If you’re searching for a welcoming, respectful home environment where your work is truly valued, this could be the perfect fit for you. We’re seeking a dedicated Muslim domestic worker — someone who takes pride in their craft and understands the importance of trust and reliability. Based in Al Falah, Abu Dhabi, our family is excited to welcome a new member who can help us maintain a comfortable, joyful household. If you’re from Cameroon or the Philippines, and you have the right experience, we would love to get to know you.
About Us
We’re a family who believes a home should be a safe and peaceful retreat, not just for us but for everyone under our roof.

We gather together for meals as often as we can, and there’s always laughter (and sometimes a little friendly teasing) echoing from the kitchen. Privacy and respect are at the heart of our home — from honoring quiet hours to making sure everyone has their own space to unwind. If you’re looking for a stable, supportive place to work, we hope you’ll feel at home with us.
