Join a Caring Family as a Housemaid in Al Quoz, Dubai
Ever wondered what it feels like to be the heart of a household, making every corner shine and every day run a little smoother? We’re looking for a dedicated housemaid to become an essential part of a welcoming family in Al Quoz, Dubai. If you take pride in your work, love bringing order to busy lives, and enjoy the satisfaction of a well-kept home, this role could be just right for you. Plus, if you have a knack for cooking, there’s an opportunity for a higher salary — your skills won’t go unnoticed!
About the Family
This isn’t a faceless corporate job — you’ll be joining a real family who values warmth, trust, and reliability. The household is known for treating staff with respect and kindness; you won’t be just another employee, but a trusted member of the home. Family meals are lively, and there’s always appreciation for a job well done (expect an occasional “thank you” and a genuine smile). If you’re looking for a stable, supportive environment where your work truly matters, you’ll feel right at home here.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Managing laundry with care, from washing and ironing clothes to organizing wardrobes.
- Making beds and keeping bedrooms, bathrooms, and communal areas neat and tidy.
- Assisting with meal preparation and cooking, especially if you have culinary skills (this will be rewarded!).
- Noticing the little things: whether it’s straightening up a living room or arranging flowers, your attention to detail will make the difference.
- Supporting the family day-to-day — sometimes this means helping with errands or lending a hand wherever needed.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- A valid visit visa for the UAE (please note: only applicants on visit visas will be considered).
- Previous experience in housekeeping, cleaning, or domestic work — you know your way around a home!
- Reliability, honesty, and a strong work ethic.
- Ability to communicate clearly and follow instructions.
- Willingness to work full-time in Al Quoz, Dubai.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Cooking skills — if you can whip up a tasty meal or follow family recipes, you’ll be eligible for a higher salary.
- A friendly attitude and openness to becoming part of the family routine.
