About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Join Our Family as a Housemaid/Nanny in Business Bay, Dubai
Ever wondered what it's like to truly become part of a family while living in the heart of Dubai? We’re looking for someone who feels just as at home in a bustling kitchen as they do sharing stories with little ones. If you know your way around both a mop and a menu – and take pride in creating a safe, cheerful space for children – this could be your next role.
About the Family
Located in vibrant Business Bay, we’re a warm, welcoming household that values honesty, kindness, and good communication. Our family is always on the move (Dubai does that to you!), but we never lose sight of what matters most: a comfortable home where everyone, staff included, is treated with respect. Think of us as the kind of people who believe laughter sometimes solves more than a mop – and who truly appreciate someone who steps in and steps up.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Preparing a variety of family meals, from daily favorites to the occasional special treat
- Keeping the home sparkling clean and tidy, paying attention to detail (we notice—and appreciate—it!)
- Helping care for our young children: playing, reading, feeding, and creating a safe and happy environment
- Managing laundry, ironing, and organizing as needed
- Noticing when supplies are low and letting us know (we love a proactive approach)
- Occasionally assisting with errands or grocery shopping nearby
What You’ll Bring
- Previous experience as a Housemaid/Nanny, especially with children and home cooking
- A calm, positive attitude—even when days get busy
- Respectful and caring nature; reliability is key!
- Willingness to live in and be part of our household in Dubai
- Currently residing in the UAE (this is a must)
- Any nationality welcome!
Not sure you meet every single requirement? That’s okay—if you’re hardworking and genuinely enjoy caring for others, we’d love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Free visa and comfortable accommodation provided (your own space to recharge)
- A competitive monthly salary of AED 2000 – AED 2700, based on your skills and experience
- Weekly day off to rest, relax, or explore Dubai
- Supportive family environment that values your contribution—you're not "just staff" here
- Work with a recruitment company that helps make your move simple and legal
- A real chance to grow your practical experience and learn new skills
Joining our family means more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to feel at home, build relationships, and shape your next chapter in one of the world’s most exciting cities.
