About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to be part of a caring family environment while living and working in the heart of Sharjah? We’re looking for a dedicated Housemaid to join our household—someone who takes pride in their work and brings warmth, energy, and reliability to daily life. If you’re from Ethiopia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, or India and searching for a respectful, supportive place to call your second home, this could be the right fit for you.
About the Family & Setting
Our home is closely connected to Al Khairat Furniture and Decor, a family-run business nestled in Industrial Area 12, Sharjah. While our workdays can be busy, our household thrives on genuine respect, kindness, and the joy of shared meals. We value trust and open communication—think of us as a team that looks out for each other. You’ll find that we celebrate small wins, learn together, and always strive to make our space welcoming for everyone.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keeping our home fresh, tidy, and organized—from daily cleaning tasks to occasional deep-cleans
- Assisting with laundry and ironing to ensure everything is in order
- Preparing and serving simple, healthy meals (don’t worry, we love learning new recipes together!)
- Helping with light errands or grocery lists as needed
- Supporting family routines—sometimes it’s helping with the kids, sometimes it’s just keeping things running smoothly
- Contributing to a positive, respectful atmosphere where everyone feels at ease
What You’ll Bring
- A youthful, energetic approach to daily tasks—someone who likes to keep moving
- Good personal hygiene and a keen eye for cleanliness
- Friendly, polite communication skills and a willingness to learn
- Flexible, can-do attitude and reliability—being part of a family means we support each other
- Prior experience as a housemaid or household helper is a plus, but not a must
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive salary, paid on time every month
- Comfortable, safe accommodation provided—your own space to relax and recharge
- Free visa and sponsorship, so you can focus on settling in and feeling at home
- Supportive, respectful family environment where your well-being matters
- Opportunity to build lasting connections and be appreciated for your hard work
We believe that a happy home starts with the people in it. Here, you’ll find not just a job, but a place where you’re valued and welcomed.
