New to Dubai: legal way to hire part-time help or a nanny?

rayanahasan

Hi everyone,


I’ve recently moved to Dubai and I’m trying to understand the correct and legal way to hire domestic help here.


I’ve seen many different opinions online about part-time helpers, nannies, agencies, and “own visa” arrangements, and it’s honestly a bit confusing. Some people say agencies are required, others say direct hire is possible, so I’d really appreciate hearing from people who’ve already gone through this.


What’s the safest option for newcomers?

Any advice or personal experiences would be very helpful.


Thanks in advance 🙂
