Join Our Home as a Housemaid in Jumeira, Dubai
Looking for a role where your care and attention make a real difference every day? We're on the hunt for a reliable, experienced housemaid to become part of a warm family environment in Jumeira, Dubai. This is more than just a cleaning job — it's an opportunity to provide meaningful support, help nurture a comfortable home, and enjoy the vibrant lifestyle of one of Dubai’s most sought-after neighborhoods. If you value trust, respect, and the satisfaction of making a home run smoothly, this position could be a wonderful fit.
About the Family
Our household is a close-knit group that values kindness, communication, and a touch of humor in the everyday. We believe that everyone under our roof — family, pets, and staff alike — deserves respect and understanding. While we expect high standards, we also know the best homes are built on teamwork and appreciation. We enjoy the occasional family meal together, celebrate birthdays (cake is non-negotiable!), and try to keep things light even on busy days.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping all rooms and common areas clean, tidy, and welcoming — think dusting, sweeping, mopping, and polishing.
- Taking care of laundry and ironing with an eye for detail (no missing socks here!).
- Assisting in the kitchen with meal prep and basic cooking — you might even share a favorite recipe or two.
- Helping look after an elderly family member with patience, empathy, and a friendly smile.
- Handling grocery shopping and running errands around the neighborhood.
- Providing gentle pet care, from feeding to occasional walks or playtime.
- Organizing closets, cupboards, and storage so everything has a place (and everyone knows where to find it).
What You’ll Bring
- Experience as a housemaid or domestic helper, ideally in a family setting.
- Trustworthiness and a positive, can-do attitude.
- Basic cooking skills and willingness to learn new recipes.
- Comfort and compassion in assisting elderly family members.
- Ability to manage time and tasks independently, with a good sense of organization.
- Respect for privacy and family routines.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary: AED1800–2500 per month, based on your experience and skills.
- Private accommodation: Your own comfortable space within the home.
- Health insurance: Because your well-being matters to us.
- Supportive work environment: We appreciate open communication and mutual respect.
- A real sense of belonging: You’ll be considered part of the family, not just staff.
- Prime location: Live and work in beautiful Jumeira, close to shops, parks, and the beach.
We know the best homes are built on trust and care, and we’re excited to welcome someone who feels the same. If you’re ready to bring your dedication and warmth to a household that truly values you — we can’t wait to meet you!
