About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to help a family’s home run smoothly while being treated like a true part of the household? We’re currently searching for a dedicated, full-time Housemaid who speaks English and truly enjoys making life a little brighter for others. This isn’t just about cleaning or cooking — it’s about becoming a steady, caring presence for both home and baby. If you’re warm, responsible, and ready to dive in right away, this family would love to meet you.
About the Family
This is a lively young family living in Dubailand, right near Sky Court Towers and Silicon Oasis. Their days are just a little busy (whose aren’t, right?), but their home is filled with laughter, kindness, and a supportive environment where everyone helps each other out. They believe in open communication, mutual respect, and true appreciation for those who keep their household ticking. Oh, and being friendly? That’s absolutely non-negotiable here.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Tidying up and deep cleaning every corner of the house — from the kitchen counters to the little one’s playroom.
- Cooking everyday family meals; nothing fancy, just good, hearty dishes that make everyone feel at home.
- Providing gentle, attentive care for a baby, including feeding, diaper changes, and playtime.
- Running small errands within the home as needed (think: laundry, organizing toys, keeping the baby’s area spotless).
- Offering your kindness and conversation in English, whether you’re showing the baby a new game or sharing a laugh with the parents.
- Pitching in extra help during busy or special occasions (birthdays, family visits, etc.)
What You’ll Bring
- Experience as a housemaid, nanny, or similar household support role (babysitting counts!)
- Ability to speak and understand English clearly
- Genuine fondness for children and patience for daily routines
- Willingness to live-in or commute daily to Dubailand (near Sky Court Towers/Silicon Oasis)
- Friendly, warm-hearted attitude — you love helping people, not just working for them
- Trustworthiness, reliability, and respect for the privacy of the family
Not sure you tick every single box? We care more about your attitude and heart than your CV — please reach out.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive starting salary (AED 1,200/month)
- Work with a caring, respectful family who values your presence
- Welcoming environment with open communication — agents and commission-takers, please skip!
- All nationalities are welcome (what matters is your vibe)
- Walkable, accessible location in Dubailand close to major communities (Sky Court Towers, Silicon Oasis)
- No unexpected extra duties — just honesty, clarity, and support
Life here isn’t about just “doing chores” — it’s about belonging. If you take pride in taking care of others and want to be truly appreciated for it, this might just be your next home away from home.
