About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it takes to truly become part of a family, far from home, and make a real difference in their day-to-day life? If you’re a caring, energetic, Hindi-speaking housemaid who enjoys working with children and keeping things running smoothly, this might just be the role you’ve been looking for. An Indian family in Al Karama, Dubai is urgently looking for a dependable live-in housemaid to lovingly care for their 3-year-old daughter and manage their household, while both parents are at work.
About the Family
This warm and welcoming Indian family has made Dubai their second home, and life in Al Karama means a community vibe—think familiar faces, evening strolls, and quick runs to the market. With both parents pursuing their careers, their cozy apartment is filled with the laughter and energy of their curious little girl. They value trust, respect, and open communication, and see their housemaid not just as help, but as an extension of the family. Expect a respectful and supportive environment where reliability is truly appreciated.
