These are verified full time live in caregivers listed across the UAE. Each profile shows UAE, GCC and overall experience plus visa status.
To hire a live-in caregiver in the UAE, filter the verified directory, shortlist two or three profiles, interview them and check references, agree the duties and salary in writing, then sponsor the visa yourself or through a licensed Tadbeer centre and start with a short trial.
A caregiver provides daily personal and health support at home - hygiene help, medication reminders, mobility support and companionship.
Agree the final list in writing. Every home defines the role a little differently.
Put these questions to each candidate - the answers tell you more than a CV does.
Filter the directory and pick two or three caregiver profiles that fit your needs, location and budget.
Meet each candidate, ask about their experience, and contact previous employers before you decide.
Confirm duties, salary, day off and start date in writing, so expectations are clear from day one.
For a full-time caregiver, sponsor the visa yourself as the employer through private sponsorship, or use a licensed Tadbeer centre to handle it for you.
Begin with a short trial period to make sure the caregiver is the right fit before committing long term.
The work type decides the cover you get, the cost, and how the visa is handled. Start from how many hours you really need, and when.
The worker lives in your home and is on hand for most of the day. For a caregiver, you get round-the-clock cover, which matters most for elderly or medical needs overnight. Plan for a private room, fair rest hours and a fixed weekly day off.
The worker comes in each day and heads home in the evening. For a caregiver, daytime support is covered while the family handles nights themselves. It can cost a little more per hour, but you keep your space to yourself.
The lightest, most flexible option. For a caregiver, a few visits a week top up the family's own care. Part-time and hourly help should be arranged through a licensed agency, never informally, so the worker stays legal and covered.
You've filtered to Full Time Live In - the right call when you need someone there overnight. Just confirm the candidate is genuinely free for it before you commit.
Use the filters to narrow down, then reach out to the workers who match.
