About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to find a household that truly respects your dedication, your skills, and your standards of professionalism? We're seeking a disciplined and respectful housemaid who takes pride in creating a spotless, peaceful home and delights in crafting authentic Arabic dishes. If you're passionate about maintaining order, privacy, and high moral standards — and you appreciate a low-key, stable environment — this role could be a rare fit.
About the Family
We’re a two-person Arabic household located in the heart of Rashediya 3, Ajman. Our home is a calm space — no children, no chaos — just a shared respect for tradition, cleanliness, and good food. We value honesty, discretion, and mutual respect above all (with Friday evenings usually reserved for a leisurely family meal). There’s no middleman here: you’ll be welcomed and appreciated directly by us.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping every part of our home sparkling clean and well-organized — your eye for detail makes a difference!
- Preparing daily meals focused on rich, traditional Arabic cuisine (think: hearty stews, fresh bread, classic rice dishes).
- Managing laundry, ironing, and ensuring clothes are perfectly cared for.
- Respecting and preserving the privacy of our home and family — trust is essential to us.
- Maintaining a calm, non-intrusive presence and upholding high standards of personal conduct every day.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Proven experience as a housemaid or domestic helper, ideally in Arabic homes
- Excellent skills in traditional Arabic cooking
- Clean, disciplined lifestyle – reliability is a must
- Respectful, polite communication and behavior at all times
- No history of inappropriate relationships, excellent conduct record
- Able to work without visa/residency sponsorship (as we cannot provide this)
Nice-to-Haves:
- Prior experience working for small, adult-only households
- Ability to manage your own schedule efficiently
Not sure you tick every box? If you meet the main requirements and are ready for a direct, respectful working relationship, we’d still love to hear from you.
