Job Description

A private household located in Al Barari, Dubai is looking to hire an experienced and reliable Live-In Housekeeper/Cook to support the daily running of the home.

The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing daily meals for the principal and his elderly parents, while also ensuring that all shared areas of the residence remain clean, organized, and well maintained.

This position requires a candidate who combines strong cooking abilities with excellent housekeeping skills, and who can manage daily routines efficiently and discreetly within a private household environment.

While professional caregivers are responsible for the parents’ care, the Housekeeper/Cook may occasionally provide light assistance when necessary.

Responsibilities

Cooking & Meal Preparation

  • Prepare daily meals for the principal and his elderly parents.
  • Cook fresh, well-balanced, and nutritious meals with careful attention to flavour and presentation.
  • Prepare simple home-style dishes while maintaining high culinary standards.
  • Demonstrate familiarity with international cuisines, with Lebanese cuisine considered an advantage.
  • Follow recipes accurately and adapt meals according to dietary requirements or family preferences.
  • Assist with meal planning and maintain organized grocery lists.
  • Coordinate kitchen supplies and maintain stock levels.
  • Ensure the kitchen remains clean and complies with strict hygiene and food safety standards.

Housekeeping Responsibilities

  • Maintain cleanliness and order in all common areas of the residence, including:

    • Living rooms
    • Dining areas
    • Guest bathrooms
    • Kitchen
    • Hallways and shared spaces
  • Perform daily cleaning tasks including dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and sanitizing surfaces.
  • Ensure the home is consistently well-presented and organized.
  • Monitor household cleaning supplies and request replenishment when necessary.
  • Maintain discretion and respect the privacy of the household at all times.

Occasional Assistance to Elderly Parents

  • Provide light support to caregivers when required.
  • Assist with simple tasks such as helping guide the parents when moving around the house.
  • Offer occasional support in urgent situations if caregivers are unavailable.

This role does not involve full caregiving responsibilities, but requires patience, kindness, and attentiveness.

Job Requirements

  • The ideal candidate should demonstrate:
  • Previous experience working as a housekeeper and cook in a private household.
  • Strong cooking skills with knowledge of international or Asian cuisine.
  • Experience preparing Lebanese cuisine is an advantage.
  • Solid understanding of food hygiene and kitchen safety standards.
  • Experience working in households with elderly residents is beneficial.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills.
  • A discreet, trustworthy, and professional attitude.
  • Physical fitness to carry out housekeeping duties.
  • A calm, positive personality and professional presentation.

Working Conditions

  • Accommodation: Live-in position within the household.
  • Work Schedule: 6 days per week with 1 day off.
  • Location: Al Barari, Dubai, UAE.
  • Start Date: As soon as possible.

Salary
