About the Role: Responsibilities, Skills, and Requirements
Ever wondered what it’s like to be the quiet hero behind seamlessly fresh wardrobes? As our trusted Laundry Man in Muhammed Bin Zayed City, Abu Dhabi, you’ll ensure our private household is always ready for any occasion — from a crisp morning shirt to a flawlessly pressed evening gown. If you have a knack for garment care and take pride in perfect folds and expert stain solutions, this might just be the right corner of the city for your next role.
About the Family
We’re a busy, warm household where schedules change, but the need for well-cared-for clothing never does. We value quality, discretion, and the little touches that make a home feel welcoming. You’ll work closely with other household staff, but laundry care is your domain — and your expertise will truly shine here. We appreciate a hands-on, detail-oriented approach; there’s always time to swap stories over tea, but the standard remains high.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Handling daily washing, ironing, steaming, and folding of clothing, linens, and sometimes even cherished soft toys
- Taking special care with delicate fabrics — think silks, cashmere, and the occasional surprise beadwork
- Sorting, organizing, and returning garments to wardrobes, closets, and drawers in a way that makes getting dressed each day feel effortless
- Maintaining order and cleanliness in the laundry area, with an eye for spotting when supplies are running low
- Treating stains like a pro and using your fabric know-how to make each garment last longer
- Keeping an open line of communication with household members about special laundry needs or allergies
- Occasionally assisting with seasonal wardrobe swaps and minor clothing repairs
What You’ll Bring
Must-Haves:
- Prior experience in a laundry role, ideally within a private home or high-end setting

- Reliable, trustworthy, and respectful of household privacy
- Ability to identify and appropriately handle delicate and specialty fabrics
Nice-to-Haves:
- Experience organizing wardrobes or dressing rooms
- Comfort working as part of a broader household team
- Basic mending or hand-sewing skills
Not sure you tick every box? We’d still love to hear from you.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- Competitive pay, always on time
- Supportive environment where your skill is valued
- Stable hours in a predictable, respectful household
- All laundry tools, supplies, and machines are well-maintained — no rusty irons here
- Opportunity to grow your skills with specialty fabrics (and the gratitude of a household that notices the details)
- Occasionally enjoy lunch with the team or take part in small household celebrations
We believe that every role is vital to our home and want you to feel right at home too. If you care about quality and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done, this is a place where your attention to detail will never go unnoticed.
