About the Family
We’re a close-knit family juggling work, school, and all the little adventures of daily life in Dubai. Our home is welcoming, lively, and fueled by plenty of laughter (and maybe a little bit of chaos!). We value honesty, a positive attitude, and a genuine love for children. Fridays are special for us—a time to unwind, and we make sure everyone in the house gets their well-deserved day off to recharge. Our previous helpers have become like extended family, and we're excited to welcome someone new into our circle.

- Helping kids with routines (meal times, bath time, sometimes bedtime)
- Assisting with occasional errands around the house
- Being a supportive presence and helping the household run smoothly
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Previous experience as a housemaid, nanny, or in a domestic helper role
- Confidence in basic cooking for families (regional experience a plus!)

- Strong sense of cleanliness and attention to detail
- Currently residing in the UAE, ready for immediate start
- Willingness to work with respect and discretion in a private home
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience with multicultural families or young children
- Ability to communicate in English (other languages welcome, too)
- Familiarity with Dubai’s neighborhoods and routines
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive monthly salary: AED 2,000 – AED 2,700, depending on experience
- Visa and comfortable accommodation provided (no extra rent or paperwork for you)
- Weekly day off to relax and recharge
- Supportive, friendly family environment where you're truly valued
- Location in vibrant Business Bay—close to everything, with easy transport options
We know the best helpers become part of the family, and we make sure you feel at home right from the start. If you’re looking for stability, respect, and a warm place to work, we’d be excited to welcome you aboard!
