Finding a Helper
Browse our platform for free. Use filters to narrow your search by city, nationality, experience, salary range, languages, live-in or live-out, and specific skills like cooking, driving, childcare, or housekeeping. Every profile shows the helper's real-time availability, verified skill badges, and a video CV. Our guide to choosing a helper explains more.
Every maid profile on MaidMatch follows one unified model. You browse verified helpers, review their experience and video CV, then use the Hire button to contact the helper directly on WhatsApp using the number stored on her profile. From browsing to visa support, we're here to help at every step.
Visa & Sponsorship
The sponsorship and visa process is the employer's responsibility, but there are now services that make it very simple and fully online. Once you find the right helper, you can manage the process yourself or let us connect you with trusted visa partners who offer MaidMatch users a seamless path forward.
Most helpers listed on MaidMatch are already in the UAE and ready to work. When you decide to hire, the sponsorship is handled by you as the employer, but don't worry, the process is now simpler than ever with fully online services available. We can connect you with our trusted visa partners who will guide you through every step, so you never have to figure it out alone.
Trust & Verification
We take this very seriously. MaidMatch regularly checks in with every helper on the platform to confirm she is still available and actively looking for work. If a helper does not respond, her profile is automatically hidden from search results. This means every profile you see on MaidMatch is confirmed active. No ghost accounts, no outdated listings, no wasted calls. We are always in contact with our helpers to ensure the best possible experience for families. Our guide to avoiding maid-hiring scams explains more.
Costs
Salaries depend on nationality, experience, skill set, and whether the role is live-in or live-out. Each helper lists her own salary range on her profile, and you can filter by budget. As a general reference, monthly salaries in the UAE typically fall between AED 1,000 and AED 5,000. Our guide to maid salaries in the UAE explains more.
