You can hire a maid through the following ways:

Tadbeer Center: Tadbeer is a service approved by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratization, which helps you find domestic workers in the UAE.
There are many Tadbeer centers across the country. They provide maids from abroad, and the cost to place a maid varies depending on her nationality. For example, the fee for an African maid is around 4,000 AED, while it goes up to 16,000 AED for Filipino and Indonesian maids. This fee includes things like the agent’s fee, travel ticket to the UAE, and medical tests done in her home country. Tadbeer centers often have maids ready to work. You can talk to them briefly, pay the placement fee, and hire any maid you like. If the maid doesn’t work well or meets your expectations, Tadbeer will replace her or give you a refund.

Another way is to hire a maid locally through Maid Finder.
Many maids are already looking for jobs in the UAE. This method doesn’t involve any agency fees. You can try working with a maid for a short period to see if she is suitable before deciding to get her a two-year visa.
The salary depends on the maid’s nationality, experience, and skill set.
Minimum wages for domestic help is set by their embassy, for example a Filipino maid minimum wage is 1,500 AED while an Indian maid minimum wage is set as 1,200 AED.
This rule applies to maids sourced directly from home country. For maid available locally usually are experienced and the salary they ask for vary based on the experience. For example, Filipino maid salary varies between 1,800 to 2,500. Of course, extra skills plays a big rule in adding up to salary — for example a maid who has extensive newborn care, or has a certificate can ask for more than 2,500 AED.
You can sponsor a maid in Dubai in two ways: either through your own personal sponsorship or via a licensed intermediary such as Excellence Center.

Opting for personal sponsorship means that you will go through a Tadbeer center, where you must submit all required documents and carry out the official procedures on your own. However, this option could be more expensive, and you will bear full responsibility for all paperwork and regulatory procedures.

On the other hand, through Excellence Center, they handle the entire process for you, encompassing documentation, visa approval, employee compensation, and work assurance. This offers a useful solution with professional help.
