Each nationality generally attracts a different salary. I have Ethiopian maid, she lives in a private bed/sit with own bathroom separate from our villa, I provide all her daily living requirements including clothes and personal items, she cooks, cleans, washes and irons as well as looks after 1 seven year old girl. I pay her 800aed per month. I do offer her one day a week off but after nearly one year with us, she has never taken her days off. Philippinas hsve better English skills and attract a higher salary but generally you can't trust them as well (from my experience).
Hi Pattigb,
I'm looking for full time maid also, and thinking to hire ethiopian. Are you using agency to get her? If so could you please share with me the agency contact details and the process/cost to sponsor her? Thank you very much for your valuable information.
Hi Angela,
I'm in similar situation with you, I know a philippines lady who's here on visit visa (her sister made it for her). I'd like to sponsor her as full time maid. How long is the process to make the pink form? I believe the person you're sponsoring has to leave UAE, before you can apply the maid visa ? Did you send her to Muscat alone? Thank you for your valuable information.
