About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to become the heart of a warm and welcoming household? As a Housemaid for a family in Barsha, Dubai, you’ll do more than keep things tidy — you’ll provide the comfort and care that turns a house into a true home. This role isn’t just about chores; it’s about joining a family that values reliability and respect, making a meaningful difference in their daily lives.
About the Family
This isn’t your typical employer — think of a kind, respectful family that opens their doors with genuine warmth. Located in the bustling, friendly neighborhood of Barsha, they cherish honesty and open communication. The home runs on teamwork: everyone does their part, and your hard work will be noticed and appreciated. Family dinners are lively, laughter-filled affairs, and every now and then, you might be invited to join a celebration or share a story from home. Here, trust goes both ways.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping all living areas spotless with daily cleaning — from the kitchen countertops to shared spaces and bedrooms
- Washing, ironing, and folding laundry with care, making sure clothes look their best for every occasion
- Helping to prepare simple, healthy meals and tidying up the kitchen afterwards (don’t worry if you’re no chef – basic help is just fine!)
- Maintaining household hygiene, replenishing supplies, and making sure bathrooms are fresh and organized
- Staying on top of organization, whether it’s sorting groceries, de-cluttering shelves, or creating systems that make life easier for everyone
- Following household routines and specific instructions, always with patience and respect
What You’ll Bring
- Experience in home cleaning, laundry, and basic cooking duties — ideally from working with a family in the UAE or Gulf region
- Good communication skills and the ability to follow instructions (a sense of humor helps, too!)
- Honesty, reliability, and respect for privacy, especially in a family setting
- Positive attitude and willingness to pitch in wherever needed
- Physically able to handle household tasks energetically and efficiently
