About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to become part of a caring household right in the heart of vibrant Dubai? We’re looking for a dedicated, Hindi-speaking Housemaid to join an Indian family based in Al Karama.

With a strong emphasis on trust and daily companionship, this full-time, live-in role is an immediate opportunity — and an invitation to join our family life.
About the Family
Picture a warm, modern Indian home where evenings are spent over shared meals and laughter is a big part of the daily routine. We’re a family that truly values kindness, reliability, and mutual respect — our home isn’t just where we live, it’s where we grow together. You'll be working alongside parents who care deeply about their daughter’s wellbeing and who believe a happy home is built on open communication and genuine teamwork. (P.S. — If you love a good cup of chai in the afternoon, you’ll fit right in!)

- Helping with grocery lists or small errands, if needed.
