Question 3

How do I find a helper on MaidMatch?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

What is the difference between an Agency and an Independent maid?

Accepted Answer

On MaidMatch, you will find two types of helpers. Agency maids come through a professional and trusted agency with medical tests and documents already done where you can arrange a paid trial week, and the agency handles the full visa process with less work on your side. Independent maids registered on the platform directly. You contact the maid on WhatsApp, assess the fit yourself, and agree on terms personally. Both types are verified, actively monitored, and fully supported. From browsing to visa, we're here to help at every step. And for both types, MaidMatch users get exclusive discounted rates on the visa process through our trusted partners.

Question 5

How does the visa process work for each type?

Accepted Answer

The sponsorship and visa process is the employer's responsibility, but there are now services that make it very simple and fully online. For agency maids, the agency typically handles this end-to-end on your behalf. For independent maids, you can manage it yourself or let us connect you with our trusted visa partners who offer MaidMatch users exclusive rates and a seamless process.

Question 6

Are the maids already in the UAE?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How do I know the profiles on MaidMatch are real?

Accepted Answer

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 No ghost accounts, no outdated listings, no wasted calls.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.

Question 8

What is the typical salary for a maid or nanny?

Accepted Answer

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.
