How can you hire a part-time maid?


The household that has two working people and kids is difficult to manage by just one person. Wouldn't it be better if you had an extra set of hands? The part-time maids in Dubai will help you with the house chores, run errands for you such as pay the bills, get the groceries, etc. as well as take care of the kids in your absence. 

But there is always the threat of letting someone in the house who is neither qualified nor trustworthy. How do you go about selecting the part-time maid that is ideal for you? Should it be done offline? Online? Via personal contacts? What can you ask her in the interview round? All these questions and more are answered here.

Criteria for selecting a maid:

  1. Job profile- Before you hire a maid, you must list all the job description for her. It should include what task you would like her to do, what kind of skills will be required to do the tasks, etc. This job description will then decide what time the maid should come to your place. As she is a part-time maid, she won't be available the entire day and night. A job description helps in deciding the salary, the gender and age limits of the maid as well.

  1. Interview- Once you have created the job profile, you will need to shortlist the candidates that fill your requirement. Then begins round two of the hiring processes i.e. interview. The interview will start with a small description of the maid. Then, you can list down the chores you wish the maid would do, his or her relevant skills and experience towards that task. Also, remember to know about their family background. The family background will let you know her commitment towards you and your family.

  1. Discuss timings- The interview process will shortlist some people for you. You will then have to discuss timings with them. For example, if they are available with morning to afternoon shift but you want them to do an afternoon to evening shift, then there will be a contrast in interests. Which is why the nitty-gritty should be discussed. The salary, leaves, and other minor details are discussed in this stage too.

  1. Background check- The background is the last step and the part-time maids in Dubai that are selected through a cleaning website will have a ready-made report. If you are hiring her from other offline sources, then a background check for criminal records should be run by you. This will ensure that she is trustworthy and fit to work for you.



You can also have a trial run with the part-time maids in Dubai. Hire them for 2 weeks and check the chemistry between you two. This will make it easy to understand if your selected maid is perfect for you and your work or not. You should pay her for the trail run as well.
