Position: Part-Time Household Assistant (Housekeeping & Admin)

Are you an organized, detail-oriented professional looking for a high-quality part-time role? GreatAuPair is representing a Singaporean family in Dubai who are seeking a Part-Time Housekeeper and Personal Assistant . This is the perfect position for someone who takes pride in creating a pristine home environment but also enjoys the challenge of managing light administrative tasks and local logistics.

In this role, you will be the family’s “efficiency expert” during your working hours.

Bring your “can-do” attitude to a home that appreciates excellence and reliability.
