How do I decide between a full-time maid and a part-time maid in the UAE?

Choosing between a full-time or part-time maid depends on your household needs. A full-time maid is ideal for large families or homes that require daily cleaning, cooking, organizing, and regular support. A part-time maid is suitable if you only need help for a few hours a day or on specific days for cleaning, organizing, or limited childcare.

How can I filter full-time or part-time maids on Maid Finder?

You can easily filter maids by visiting the Maids in UAE page and using the search filter under “Duration” to select either full-time or part-time maids based on your needs.

What is the difference between live-in and live-out full-time maids?

A live-in maid lives in the employer’s home and is the most common option in Dubai. A live-out full-time maid lives outside the home, usually with family, and requires agreed transportation arrangements. In both cases, the employer remains legally responsible for sponsorship unless hiring through an agency.

Select full-time maid if you have a big family and a large home, and you need daily help with cleaning, organizing, kitchen tasks, cooking, and other everyday duties.
Choose part-time maid if you only need a maid for a few hours during the day or on specific days. This option is perfect if you don’t require daily support, but just need help with cleaning, organizing, or childcare for a limited time.
