About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to be the trusted heartbeat of a home, where every detail matters and furry friends greet you each day? We're searching for a dedicated Housemaid to help keep our home in Umm Al Quwain (Al Salama) running smoothly. If you’re dependable, hardworking, and love both household care and the company of puppies, this role might be just right for you.
About Us
We’re a laid-back, pet-loving couple without children, living in a peaceful part of Al Salama. What makes us different? For starters, our two puppies are more than pets — they’re part of the family, and their happiness is as important as a well-ironed shirt or a spotless kitchen. At home, respect and mutual support are part of our daily routine. We value honesty and a no-nonsense attitude, but we also believe a warm smile can brighten any day.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Keep our home consistently clean and organized — from daily dusting to deep cleaning chores.
- Prepare wholesome, home-style meals and handle a variety of basic cooking tasks.
- Manage laundry and ironing, ensuring clothes are fresh and neatly pressed.
- Look after our beloved puppies — feeding, cleaning, playtime, and occasional walks.
- Take care of kitchen tidiness, dishwashing, and pantry organization.
- Handle small household errands as needed — think “family helper,” not just “house help.”
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Reliable, serious, and hardworking attitude — this is non-negotiable.
- Experience with general housework, cleaning, and daily routines.
- Ability and willingness to cook simple meals.
- Comfort around dogs — previous pet care experience is a big plus.
- Willingness to work without regular days off.
- Valid visit, overstay, or personal visa — all are welcome.
- Friendly, honest, and able to communicate clearly (WhatsApp contact only).
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience working in a similar household, especially with pets.
- References from previous employers.
- Quick learner who can adapt to our preferences.

- Steady monthly salary between 1200–1500 AED, paid on time.
- Friendly, respectful employers who value fairness.
- A quiet environment — no children, no chaos, just two adults and their playful pups.
- No issues with different visa types — we’re happy to work with your situation.
