About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wished for a calm, steady day-to-day routine where your skills are truly appreciated? We’re looking for a full-time, live-in Maid (with your own visa) to join our warm household of three adults and two relaxed cats, nestled in Dubailand. With a light workload and a peaceful home environment, this is a great fit for someone seeking stability, respect, and a genuine welcome.
About the Family
Think of us as a quiet, respectful crew who believe in keeping things tidy, organized, and stress-free. We aren’t a bustling household—just three adults who enjoy life at a gentle pace (and two low-maintenance cats who’ll probably steal your chair when you’re not looking). You’ll find that we value honesty, kindness, and a good cup of tea at the end of the day. The home is a two-bedroom flat, and everyone respects each other’s privacy and space. Meals are important here, but there’s no rush or restaurant-level expectations—simple, homely food is always appreciated.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Preparing daily meals (basic family-style cooking, nothing fancy)
- General cleaning: sweeping, mopping, dusting, and keeping things fresh
- Laundry: washing, folding, and ironing clothes (our wardrobes are manageable!)
- Tidying shared spaces and occasionally organizing cupboards or groceries
- Taking care of the cats’ food bowls and litter (they’re friendly, promise)
- Occasional light errands within the building or nearby (nothing too far or stressful)
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Valid visa (sponsor your own): this is a strict requirement
- Experience in a similar full-time housekeeping or maid role
- Basic English or Arabic communication skills (enough to chat comfortably)
- Trustworthiness, honesty, and a positive, respectful attitude
- Able to provide a CV or short intro video on WhatsApp
Nice-to-Haves:
- Prior experience with pets, especially cats
- A knack for simple, homestyle cooking
- Friendly but doesn’t mind keeping to yourself
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Free accommodation (partitioned for privacy) within the home
- Daily meals provided — you’re one of the family here
- Light workload compared to larger households
- Consistent paycheck: AED 1200/month
- Genuine respect for your need for rest, privacy, and fair treatment
- Calm environment (no children, low noise, drama-free)
- Opportunity to build trust and find comfort in a warm, stable household
If you’re looking for a respectful, calm home base and steady work with kind people and gentle pets, this could be your next great step.
