We’re looking for a warm, dependable Housemaid/Nanny to join our household in Deira City, Dubai. If you’ve got hands-on experience with home cleaning and enjoy keeping things running smoothly, this is an excellent opportunity — especially if you’re already in the UAE and searching for a stable, supportive environment.
About the Family
We’re a busy family who truly values kindness, reliability, and a good sense of humor (yes, even on laundry day!). Our home is lively but organized, and we pride ourselves on treating everyone with respect and warmth. Friday evenings often mean family movie time, and we believe open communication makes everything go smoother. If you want to feel like you’re joining a team rather than just filling a role, you’ll fit right in.

- Keeping the home tidy and comfortable with daily dusting, sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming
- Managing laundry and ironing with care — we appreciate a crisp shirt!
- Assisting with basic meal prep and kitchen cleanup
- Helping care for children after school (homework encouragement, playtime supervision, and a watchful eye)
- Running occasional errands or restocking household supplies
- Maintaining a friendly, supportive presence — we love a cheerful “good morning”
- Respecting family routines and privacy while offering a helping hand wherever it’s needed
What You’ll Bring
- Previous experience as a housemaid, nanny, or similar domestic role
- Strong attention to detail and a knack for keeping things organized
- Comfort with cleaning products, laundry machines, and simple meal prep
- Friendly attitude and a genuine love for children
- Ability to follow instructions and routines
- Already residing in the UAE (any nationality welcome!)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary: AED 2,500 per month
- All-inclusive package: Free visa and accommodation provided
- Work-life balance: Weekly day off to relax and recharge
- Annual paid vacation: Time to visit family or explore
- Supportive family environment: You’ll be treated with respect and kindness
