Hi , happy to chat via email if you still need help . There is a community of Zim ladies and I have found that to be so helpful. They help each other , supportive and really build a solid support . Is she Ndebele or Shona ?

Hi Maas, I was wondering if you managed to work this out and whether it's all been possible? We are in the exact same situation and I am trying to gather information! Would love any advice you migh...
I was able to find a Zimbabwean lady who was working with a SA family here and it worked out much bette in terms of us intergrating especially with our LO 4 months at the time. You can bring someone but you have to fill an affidavit proving you not related , you sponsors as you would if find one here , pay medical insurance etc . The stipend for most ranges from 2000 AED to 3500 AED ( depends on family size etc ) . Visa sponsorship is by far the biggest initial cost and is renewed annually . In SA we have less regulation when it comes to hiring help so it worthwhile to note the above to ensure you are legally compliant even if you bring your own. Hope this helps .

This is a very old thread but I just wanted to let you all know you can sponsor a south african maid. I have had 2 already. If you are south african as well you and your husband just need to sign an affidavit stating that you not related to your housemaid and you need one extra letter from the courts stating that you would be taking care of the maid. I'm not sure what the letter is called though..I usually just take a copy of the first letter and tell them I need one of these...The courts in sheikh zayed road types out the letter and you get the affidavit signed by the sa consulate in dubai. Easy. Hi Donnadxb - I know your response is old, but I just wanted to find out if you still have a South African maid in Dubai? We are moving up in Jan and would love to take our maid with us, just not 100% sure where to start - is the process you described still the same? Also quite curious to know how your SA ladies adjusted in Dubai - did they interact with other maids in your area? Hi ladies I am also aware this is old . I have recently moved to Dubai and would like to bring my nanny in the new year . Is there a step by step process or contacts to help get this process started and costs thereof . I would really appreciate the insight .
