Domestic Help

Although villas and apartments are being built smaller than they were years ago, many people find themselves living in a place which is larger than the one they lived in at home. Having a bigger home is great but cleaning a bigger home is not so much fun. Luckily, maid services in Dubai are available at a reasonable cost.  Most households have a housemaid and nearly all larger properties, villas in particular, are built with a maid’s quarters. Some families have a maid just for babysitting but the majority of people make the most of this luxury with their maid doing the washing, ironing, cleaning, babysitting and doing or helping with the cooking. In some parts of the world, it is quite ‘normal’ to have domestic help at home.  For most Westerners, it’s a luxury, although people do seem to get used to it far too quickly and struggle to manage without.

If you are looking for a housemaid in Dubai, you are encouraged to use a dedicated agency. We have listed a number of them below. The authorities are clamping down on independent housemaids working for households – partly to ensure everybody is working legally and partly to ensure the maids are treated well by their employers. Agencies can provide maid services on a hourly, daily or monthly basis.
