Join Our Caring Household as a Housemaid in Mirdif, Dubai
Are you someone who finds satisfaction in creating a well-kept, welcoming home? If you take pride in the little details — from perfectly pressed shirts to a spotless kitchen — you might be just who we’re looking for. We’re searching for a reliable, experienced housemaid to become an essential part of our family’s daily life in Mirdif, Dubai. With a stable salary, comfortable accommodation, and the chance to truly make a difference for a household (and their beloved pet!), this isn’t just another job — it’s a place where your skills and care are truly valued.
About the Family
We’re a warm, multi-generational household that believes a tidy, organized space lifts everyone’s mood — and we know that takes real work. Our days tend to be full but friendly, with everyone pitching in where they can. The kitchen is often the heart of our home, and we’re always grateful for a helping hand with meal prep. As we also care for an elderly family member and a much-loved pet, trust and kindness are truly at the core of how we operate. If you appreciate being treated with respect and value open communication, you’ll likely feel right at home with us.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping the house clean and organized: sweeping, mopping, dusting, and making sure every corner feels fresh
- Taking care of laundry: washing, ironing, folding, and making sure everything finds its place
- Assisting with meal preparation and sometimes cooking simple dishes
- Helping care for an elderly family member: offering gentle support and a watchful eye
- Grocery shopping and running occasional errands (think: market runs or picking up prescriptions)
- Providing daily care for our friendly pet — feeding, walks, and a bit of playtime
- Noticing what needs doing and stepping up before we even have to ask
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Previous experience as a housemaid, nanny, or similar role
- Good communication skills (English preferred)

- Ability to manage time well and work both independently and as part of a team
- Physically able to handle household tasks throughout the day
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience supporting elderly family members
- Basic cooking skills (or willingness to learn family recipes!)
- Love for animals and experience with pet care
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary: AED 1,800–2,500 per month, depending on your experience
- Comfortable private accommodation provided
- Comprehensive health insurance coverage
- Supportive family environment — you’re treated as part of the household, not just staff
- Regular schedule with clear expectations
- The satisfaction of making a real difference in daily life
- Pet-friendly home (if you love animals, that’s a bonus!)

We believe that a happy home starts with happy people — and that includes you. If you’re looking for stability, respect, and a role that truly values your hard work, we’d be glad to welcome you into our family.
