About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Jump right in: ever wished for a role where your attention to detail is truly valued and the work schedule respects your life? We’re searching for a dedicated Housekeeper to keep a cozy one-bedroom apartment in Al Al Mwaihat, Ajman, sparkling clean every Friday. This isn’t a sprawling villa or a bustling family abode—just a calm, organized space serving three tidy adults (no children, no pet chaos). If you enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done and like knowing exactly what’s expected each week, this could be the perfect spot for you.
About the Family & Home
Picture a close-knit trio who appreciate calm, orderly surroundings and believe a tidy space makes for a peaceful home. We’re not running a hotel: our apartment is our haven, and we want it looking its best for the weekend. Warm, respectful, and always up for a quick chat if you are—but just as happy to let you do your thing. We know how valuable your time is too, so we’ll handle your transportation to and from our place for every shift.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Arriving (with transportation sorted for you) at our apartment in Ajman every Friday for a focused 3-hour cleaning session
- Dusting, sweeping, mopping, and giving attention to those easy-to-forget spots (think: under the sofa, backs of chairs)
- Thoroughly cleaning kitchen and bathroom surfaces, leaving them spotless and gleaming
- Tidying the bedroom and living room — folding throws, straightening cushions, keeping things just-so
- Emptying bins, refilling supplies, and letting us know if anything needs fixing or restocking
- Occasionally, lending a hand with light laundry or ironing if time allows
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Previous experience with apartment cleaning, ideally for private families or small households
- A reputation for reliability, dignity, and respecting people’s private spaces
- Great attention to detail and an efficient, systematic approach
- Ability to communicate clearly and courteously
- Seriousness about the work—you’re the kind of person who always shows up and gives your best
Nice-to-Haves:
- Regional experience in Ajman or similar areas
- Familiarity with hypoallergenic or eco-friendly cleaning products
- Basic ironing or laundry know-how
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
