About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it takes to keep a busy family running smoothly in the heart of downtown Dubai? We're currently looking for a dedicated Housemaid/Nanny to join our family in lively Business Bay. If you enjoy the rhythm of family life and take pride in providing warm, reliable support with kids, cooking, and cleaning, this opportunity could be just the change you're looking for. Your skills and care will help create a happy, safe, and organized home environment — and you’ll find yourself a valued member of our little team.
About the Family
We’re a vibrant, multicultural household based right in Business Bay with a bustling work-life routine — think early school runs, after-school snacks, and evenings spent catching up. Our values are centered on respect, trust, and mutual support (and an honest love for good food!). We believe everyone contributes to our home, and that includes you. You’ll feel included and appreciated, not just hired as help. We celebrate small wins, enjoy lighthearted conversations, and believe that laughter really does make the best background noise.

- Cooking simple, healthy meals for the children and family (your signature dish is always welcome!)

- Caring for the kids with kindness and attention, whether it’s homework help or playing games
- Supporting bedtime and morning routines
- Running light errands within the building or immediate neighborhood, when needed
- Communicating openly with parents about kids’ needs or household supplies — being proactive is always appreciated
