About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever found yourself wondering what it would be like to truly make a difference in a family’s day-to-day life? We’re looking for a dedicated Housemaid/Nanny to become an essential member of a busy household in Business Bay, Dubai. This isn’t just another housekeeping job — it’s a chance to be part of a supportive family environment, where your attention, experience, and genuine care will help both the home and the children thrive. If you’re someone who feels at ease juggling daily tasks and lending a helping hand with little ones, you might just be the person we’re waiting for.
About the Family
Imagine mornings that start with laughter and schedules, a home where teamwork means everything, and your contributions truly matter. The family you’ll be supporting values trust, respect, and a warm approach — they believe in open communication and treating everyone as part of the family unit. Their beautiful apartment sits right in the heart of Business Bay, with easy access to parks, supermarkets, and schools. (Oh, and you might hear that Friday pancake breakfasts are almost sacred around here!)

- Preparing simple, healthy meals and family snacks (and maybe enjoying a kitchen dance party or two with the little ones)
- Assisting with laundry, ironing, and general household upkeep
- Providing caring, attentive supervision for the children, including occasional school drop-offs or pick-ups
- Helping the kids with their routines: school uniforms, homework time, and bedtime prep
- Managing household supplies — from shopping lists to storage, you’ll have a knack for keeping things stocked
- Stepping in as a positive, supportive presence throughout the family’s busy days

Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience in a multicultural household or with young children (toddlers to pre-teens)
- Basic cooking skills, especially for family-friendly meals
- Familiarity with the Dubai lifestyle or Business Bay area
Not sure you check every single box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Salary of AED 2,500 per month — paid on time, every month
