If you’re living in Dubai and need a full-time maid, the process is quite straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you:
1- Decide Between Live-in or Live-out
You need to decide if you want a maid to live with you or come daily. A live-in maid will stay in your home, while a live-out maid will travel to your home every day.
2- Choose a Hiring Method
There are two main ways to hire a full-time maid in Dubai:
- Direct hire: You can sponsor a maid yourself. This means you will be responsible for their visa, salary, and accommodation.
- Through an agency: You can use a service like Tadbeer to find and hire a maid. Agencies handle the visa and paperwork for you, but it can be more expensive.
3- Understand the Costs
The costs will depend on how you hire your maid. If you hire directly, you will cover visa fees, salary (around AED 1,500 to AED 3,000 per month), and other expenses. Agencies charge more, but they simplify the process.
4- Prepare the Necessary Documents
If you are sponsoring a maid, you will need to provide:
- A salary certificate
- Proof of accommodation
- A passport copy of the maid
- A contract with agreed terms
5- Follow the Legal Requirements
You must follow Dubai’s rules, such as providing proper working hours, rest days, and medical insurance for your maid. Make sure you’re aware of all your responsibilities as an employer.
6- Where to Find Maids
You can look for maids through recommendations, online platforms, or hiring agencies like Tadbeer, which is specialized in domestic worker services.
