About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Introduction
Looking for a fresh start in Dubai with a caring, welcoming Indian family? We’re on the lookout for a young and energetic Hindi-speaking housemaid who’s ready to become part of our daily lives in Al Karama. If you’re someone who loves children, takes pride in home-cooked meals, and enjoys keeping a household running smoothly, this might just be the right fit for you. With an immediate opening and a supportive home environment, you’ll find both security and belonging here.
About the Family
We’re a close-knit Indian family rooted in tradition, but we also value kindness, flexibility, and a good sense of humor — the little things that make daily routines brighter. Our three-year-old daughter fills our home with giggles and questions, so there’s never a dull moment. We’re hands-on parents who appreciate open communication and mutual respect. Think of us less as “employer and staff” and more as teammates working together under one roof.

- Keeping our delightful three-year-old daughter safe, healthy, and entertained throughout the day
- Cooking nutritious and tasty Indian food for the family (and yes, sharing your favorite recipes is encouraged!)

- Making sure the home always feels clean, warm, and organized
- Taking part in easy family routines and special occasions
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Age between 20–25 years, with prior experience working in the UAE
- Comfort with Hindi (other Indian languages are a plus!)
- Genuine love for children, especially toddlers
- Confidence in cooking varied Indian dishes
- Positive attitude, trustworthiness, and reliability
- Preference for own visa (but we’re open to discussions if needed)
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience as a live-in maid for Indian families
- Ability to balance care duties with housework smoothly
- Any basic conversational English

Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
