My live-in nanny was also away for a month on her annual vacation. I have two kids and work full time so I needed another live-in to fill in. I have had a very successful experience with "Explorer Human Resource" in Al Moussa Tower on Sheikh Zayed Road who offer help for both short-term and long-term appointments. They're a bit pricy for the short-term but it's well worth it. You'll need to specify when you will want the maid to start and a day before you interview a list of candidates and choose from these and pick her up the next day. The maid I got was so good I actually got her a long-term appointment with friends of ours when my nanny came back (yay!). Their contact number is (04) 358 7622. Hope this helps.
Diamante.. I know this is an old post but was wondering whether the Sri Lankan lady is still there and what their prices are like. Also, where on Wasl is the place roughly? Any landmarks close by?
Thanks for your help!
