Step Into a Vital Role Making a House a Home — Housemaid for Caring Indian Family in Al Karama
Looking for a meaningful role where your Hindi language skills and childcare talent truly matter every day? A warm, close-knit Indian family based in the vibrant heart of Al Karama, Dubai, is urgently seeking a dedicated, Hindi-speaking Housemaid to join their household. This is a full-time, live-in position — and if you have a genuine way with little ones and pride yourself on organized, efficient home care, you’ll feel right at home here.
About the Family
Imagine a household where traditions are cherished and laughter is a daily guest. Our family of three brings together Indian values and Dubai’s energy, raising a bright, playful three-year-old girl. In our home, everyone is respected — from our Friday food rituals to spontaneous dance parties in the living room. We believe in trust, open communication, and making each day just a bit easier and fuller than the last. If you love working where you’re treated as a member of the family, this is the place.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Independently managing and caring for our energetic three-year-old daughter with warmth, patience, and creativity
- Handling all aspects of daily childcare, from planning playtime to ensuring meals and nap routines go smoothly
- Supporting day-to-day household duties, including cleaning, laundry, and light cooking as needed
- Keeping the home tidy, organized, and a comfortable space for everyone
- Communicating clearly with us in Hindi about the baby’s needs, schedules, and issues (your voice is valued!)
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Proficiency in Hindi (essential for communication)
- Prior experience as a housemaid in the UAE, preferably with Indian families
- Confidence, independence, and genuine care in managing young children (especially toddlers)
- Physically active and able to keep up with a lively little girl
- Willingness to live-in full time
- Young, presentable, and slim — as per family’s specific preference
- Own visa highly preferred for faster onboarding and flexibility
Nice-to-Haves:
- Ability to cook basic Indian meals
- Knowledge of basic first aid or child safety practices
- Previous long-term positions in similar households
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Supportive, family-style environment where you’re treated with respect and kindness
- Attractive, comfortable private accommodations and meals included

We know the work isn’t always easy, but we truly value our housemaid and strive to make our home a welcoming, warm place for everyone. If you’re seeking stability, respect, and the chance to make a difference in a loving family’s life, we can’t wait to meet you.
