Join Our Family as a Housemaid/Nanny in Deira City, Dubai
Do you have a warm heart and a knack for keeping little ones smiling? Our family in Deira City is looking for a dedicated Housemaid/Nanny to help care for our children and make daily life run a little smoother. It’s not just a job — it’s an opportunity to become a valued member of a friendly household, right in the heart of Dubai. If you love working with children and can whip up quick, healthy snacks without breaking a sweat, we’d love to meet you.
About Our Family
We’re a close-knit household who believes in kindness, honesty, and treating everyone like family — whether you’ve been with us for years or just arrived last week. The laughter of children fills our home, and we truly value trust and open communication with everyone under our roof. Our helpers are celebrated for their care (and their clever snack ideas!), and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels respected and included. Becoming a part of our family means more than ticking off chores — it’s about sharing little victories and making everyday moments special.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Assisting with feeding when needed, making sure mealtimes are smooth and stress-free for everyone.
- Keeping an attentive eye on the kids’ safety and wellbeing, whether they’re playing, reading, or napping.
- Helping out with light housekeeping related to the children (tidying toys, organizing play spaces, keeping the kids’ areas clean).
- Gently guiding and supervising children’s daily routines, from snack time to play time.
- Supporting parents with occasional errands or other household tasks as needed.
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Experience working with children in a home setting — whether as a nanny, housemaid, or childcare provider.
- Confidence preparing simple meals and snacks (nothing fancy, just healthy and tasty).
- A caring, patient attitude with a good sense of responsibility.
- Currently residing within the UAE and ready to start soon.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Ability to communicate in English or another common language spoken with children.
- Friendly, adaptable nature — someone who fits easily into new routines and enjoys being around kids from different backgrounds.
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- AED 3000 monthly salary — paid promptly, with room to grow if you stay and thrive with us.
- Free visa and medical insurance — we handle the paperwork so you can focus on the work you enjoy.
- Paid annual leave — your hard work deserves proper rest and time with your own loved ones.
- Inclusive, supportive family environment — we listen, we laugh, and we take care of one another.
- Any nationality welcome (if currently inside UAE) — it’s your experience and heart that matter most.
Above all, we believe in making our home a happy place — for our children, for us, and for you. If you’re looking for a family-friendly role and a place to grow and feel appreciated, we hope you’ll get in touch.
