About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Let’s Talk About Your Next Opportunity
Are you someone who thrives around young children and enjoys the routines and surprises that come with family life? We’re looking for a live-in English-speaking housemaid to join our household in Al Karama, Dubai — and if caring for a little one while keeping a warm, well-run home sounds like your kind of day, you might just fit right in. This is a full-time position with immediate joining, perfectly suited for a young, energetic woman who already knows her way around a UAE home.
About Us
We’re an Indian family with roots that run deep and a home that always feels lively. Our days are centered around our cheerful 3-year-old daughter, and we genuinely value the people who share our space — from our extended family to the professionals who help us every day. (Quick family fact: bedtime stories are a ritual, and we believe in sharing laughs at the dinner table!)
What’s it like living and working here? Think warm evenings on the balcony, the delicious scent of home-cooked food, and genuine appreciation for reliability and kindness. We treat our staff with respect and welcome them as part of our family.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Look after our playful 3-year-old daughter: feeding, bathing, playing, and ensuring her safety throughout the day
- Create engaging, age-appropriate activities and support early learning (she’s curious and loves stories!)
- Manage daily household chores: cleaning, tidying up, laundry, and ironing, ensuring the home stays neat and inviting
- Assist with basic meal prep or help in the kitchen as needed, especially when it comes to simple Indian or child-friendly meals
- Maintain a calm, organized atmosphere — and pitch in with flexibility when our schedule changes
- Be a positive, supportive companion for our little girl when family is out or busy
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Female, between 20 and 25 years old
- Prior full-time housemaid or nanny experience in the UAE
- Good English communication skills
- Trustworthiness, reliability, and an honest approach to your work
- Comfort around young children, with patience and warmth
- Willingness to live in and adapt to family routines and values
- Presentable, with a neat and tidy personal appearance
Nice-to-Haves:
- Basic knowledge of Indian cooking or a willingness to learn
- A cheerful, friendly personality and initiative-taking attitude
- Flexible with work hours (as family life doesn’t always stick to a script!)
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
