Well we got our deposit cheque back - minus 1k - which I thought was quite reasonable as the villa hadn't been repainted in three years. It would have cost us more than that to have it done ourselves. After taking some advice we threatened to take the agency to the Rent Committee, not the LL and bingo we had the cheque within 24 hours :) Great news xx

Hi, been in Qatar a month. I don't have my own car, so we're transport less whilst my husband is at work. Can anyone recommend a taxi firm to me? I've heard some bad stories so any recommendations are welcome. Thanks! Is Careem in Qatar? We have them in the UAE and they are very good. Slightly more expensive than street taxis but cars are clean and drivers aren't F1 wannabes :-)

My wonderful fulltime maid/nanny will be on vacation from Dec 2015 - Jan 2016 for her well deserved one month off. So I have a rather large vacancy to fill. How does one go about advertising/searching for a temp solution? I would prefer a live-in recruit, however I understand that with it being a 1 month contract that a live-out option may be more feasible to find. I am not sure how to start this search to find someone efficient, clean and caring for that one month. Your valuable feedback and tips are welcome! An agency would be your best bet. Temp maids aren't legal and I don't think you can sponsor a live in for one month only Good Luck

Use an agency. Then you are covered both legally and for insurance purposes Finding a random from on here who isn't legally allowed to do this can have implications as and heaven forbid anything went wrong you would incur a huge fine and they could be deported If you type babysitting into the search bar you will find agencies that provide this

Hi all, I have been in Dubai for 5 days now and slowly finding my feet. Moved over from London, UK with the other half and my 7 year old son. I'm looking for some friendly faces as even tho I know a few people here - would love to expand my friends circle, I love a natter over a cuppa ( & cake ?) Creative, loves food ( hence a need for the gym ?), love to travel when I can.. I currently make handmade one-off bespoke jewellery so will be looking to continue this ? A few questions if I may: 1/ Hairdressers! - I'm looking for one that won't cost the earth but does good colour? ( & one that does children's haircuts?) 2/ Web designer - Finding it a lil tough to find a web designer and someone to assist with branding. Any recommendations??? 3/ Reccomended Dentist? - I'm a nervous patient ?? Thanks in advance... Look forward to speaking soon xxx Salon Ink is fab but they aren't cheap by any means. I love the place but they were getting too pricey for me :-( Roots in Jumeriah and Barsha and Slam in Al Quoz are cheapish and also do kids haircuts mostly Western hairdressers if you prefer that Slam charge AED275 for a root colour without blowdry or cut. That seems to be the going rate here unfortunately Dentists Dr Joy Dr Nicholas ASP

I moved here from the UK in 2006 due to the industry I worked in all but collapsing When I arrived it wasn't as busy, accommodation/food/going out etc was very cheap however the cost of living is now very high I rent a modest one bed apartment which has a communal pool/gym Ideas of cost are 1 bed apartment 1200GBP per month ( Has to be paid in 4 cheques up front) Deposit for apartment was 700GBP ( paid upfront) If you use an agent to find you said apartment the deposit for that is 5% of the annual rent ( Paid upfront) Utilities deposit 345GBP paid upfront Housing tax/water/electric/air con 100GBP per month. If you air con isn't included in your utilities add another 40-50GBP onto that bill Internet and mobile phone 120GBP a month. Data and internet packages are expensive here compared to home I own my car outright however car insurance has to paid upfront in one payment. Mine for a 3.2l car is 260GBP Petrol has recently gone up I only use mine for work and occasional trips to the mall and on average is costs me 35GBP a month Food if you buy branded from Waitrose/Spinneys can cost around 80GBP per person per week ( Depends on what you eat) Gyms are expensive here. Expect to pay around up to 60GBP per month per person for an equivalent of Fitness First Alcohol is more expensive. a pint of beer is around 5GBP as is a vodka tonic If the role is good for your Husbands career and the money is good, relocation costs are covered, help with setting up housing etc costs then I would say go for it. I am here purely to save for my future. If I could earn at home what I do here then I would leave in a heartbeat. I have loved my time here as I came from a very small city and I can honestly say Dubai has enriched me and taught me things about different cultures/nationalities that I would never of known about at home. It is very social and apart from a few months in the height of the Summer the weather is beautiful. It has its downsides as many places do but if it is only for a few years then go for it. I cannot help with your role though as I can honestly say I have never seen those roles advertised here ( Have never looked though) P.S I love NI and go to Belfast to visit my BF at least once a year! :biggrin:

I have just received my old passport back after just one week of processing which is fantastic. However they have cut the corners of this passport which incidentally wasn't expired/damaged or needed any changes( had two clear pages left). I knew that impending travel I needs more pages for Visa's on arrival etc. My concern is that now my residents visa will not be valid. I expected to be able to carry both passports together as my husband did when his passport became to full. Our residents visa were renewed in December. Whats annoying is I clearly stated I had a current valid residence visa in my passport! Question is will this become problematic for me, do I have to have my residence visa transferred to my replacement passport when it arrives(hopefully tomorrow)? What GE said is correct. I carry two passports also as my visa in the old passport is valid until 2017 Travelled in June and had no issues.

Personally speaking it wouldn't bother me at all as it is only my house, however as you aren't on FB its your call I lock my settings down and if any pictures of me are posted my friends let me vet them first. Apart from your house what is she posting? If you are shocked by it then ask her to take them down.

I know in this age lots of people put their whole lives out on social media and I think that's fine if you like to put your own personal details and events out there for the whole world to know, but I do not use FB or any of those things, I prefer to remain a private person as far as possible. The problem now is I just came to know from someone else that a guest staying in my house is posting everything including photos of my home up on her FB page which is public, and possibly other social media sites. I really would have liked to be asked first at least. I am a bit worried that she may have taken the photos without turning off the geotagging location settings on her Smart Phone. I doubt she even knows such a thing exists. Very difficult situation now as its too late so saying anything is just going to spoil what has been a nice time until now. I am a bit old fashioned but isn't it still normal to ask someone before doing this type of thing when it involves other people besides yourself? Have you spoken with her and asked her not to do this?

Maybe the OP has chosen to call a housemaid an au pair, just like those who refer to their housemaid as their nanny. That is true :-)

My parents used to 'employ' a nanny/au pair type when we had long hols (okay, this was a long time ago!) and in exchange for babysitting, helping out at parties, keeping an eye on us, and being a bit of a dogsbody, would get time off so she could hit the beach/piste etc and have a mini-holiday of her own. I think they gave her a bit of 'getting-around' cash, but that was it. Au Pairs/Private Nannies are usually employed from Europe and paid very well. They live in and do a lot more than your regular UAE maid would Drop off and collect kids from school/help with homework etc Babysitters at home in the UK are usually teenagers known to the family and paid for babysitting Au Pairs are not really common in the UAE unless employed by a company for a VIP or HNWI

That's right: hence the different job description given to those from non-maid-sourcing nations eg governess, tutor, teacher etc. I was chatting about this with DH and he said that he knows people he worked with in AD who were able to bring in super-skilled types, but in every instance they were employed as PAs or similar under company auspices. Sure, they were doing driving/dinner/homework etc, but it looked -- on paper -- as if they were employed in an office job. And they were paid very well indeed. They sure as heck weren't 'maids' anyway. It's a tricky area. But as you say: the people who do this (with the good English etc), are paid a fabulous amount for the job, far more than 'normal' maids/nannies from the usual countries receive ... and their visa would NOT say that they were being employed as maids/nannies. Only a small selection of countries can become that out here (and they have a whole 'nother set of rules attached to their visas too, in terms of payment, travel, time off, insurance, healthcare etc). The very idea that someone would do this work for free, out here, is mind-boggling for me though (sorry, OP). I guess you might find a teenager between school/uni to do something like it ... but I'm positive (well, hearsay, really!) that being an au pair -- as one understands the role in UK anyway! -- just doesn't exist here. While it's true that there are internship opportunities (non-paid) in the UAE, for the most part, this country has a system where people are paid for their efforts, have a contract, yada yada yada ... and because there is a maid 'system', working for free as an au pair just isn't a thing. That's why, as I've said, people who are employed in a more highly-skilled housekeeper/tutor/governess role come from non-maid countries, and are paid accordingly (with different visas to boot). I cannot see where the OP asked for a free one? Do I need glasses :biggrin:

Hi. I am looking for a special person to Aupair for my family. Must be English speaking and experienced with children. Primary responsibilities will include after-school pick ups, homework, grocery shopping and cooking. All recommendations or interested applicants welcome.:) I know a couple of people, over the years, who have employed staff who have all these skills and they are paid a LOT of money (far far more than the wages paid for maids/nannies from Philippines, India etc) and they're generally brought to the country as 'governesses'. I'm sorry, but the way the visa system works out here, you would never be able to have someone do this kind of work for free (as an au pair), and there is a limited selection of countries from which you can hire people to be nannies/maids (and I'm not even sure whether these countries could provide you with a person with the skills you've listed unless, again, you pay over the odds, and source someone from their home country via an agency, which will also charge major ducats for doing it!). Sorry to be a downer, but Dubai isn't like London, where one can provide food/board for a student who wants to learn English, travel etc, and will work for you as well. Good luck sorting out your situation though. :) I know of one lady ( British) but she is employed by the Husbands company and is paid a small fortune, given a car and travels with them Is it correct that certain nationals cannot be employed by a family in this capacity hence the reason only certain nationals can be a maid?

I am thinking of buying an iPhone in the UK before returning to the UAE. If it breaks down in the UAE, will it still be able to be repaired or serviced even thought it was bought in the UK. I've heard that iPhone 5s can be repaired but iPhone 6 can only be repaired if it's Model A1586. I've also heard that no iPhone bought in the UK can be fixed in the UAE and I would have to post it to a friend in the UK who would then have to take it in to an Apple store and then post it back to me. Anyone have any experience with having their UK-bought iPhone 6 or 5s repaired in the UAE? I don't mean a screen-change, more like a technical malfunction. ABM care in Tecom do all Apple products, they are the main service/repairer for all apple products in the UAE I had my iphone 5 fixed there and that was purchased in the UK Aren't they cheaper to buy in the UAE?

My husband will start his new job at the beginning of September. I am just curious if it is okay for me to travel with him and enter UAE on a visitor or tourist visa? Once my husband has his residency visa he will sponsor me. We are coming from the USA. I know we will have to have the marriage certificate attested. Is this something we do here in the USA and by who or is something we do in Abu Dhabi? In addition I am hopeful that I may myself start a job as a teacher shortly after we arrive as a local hire. Will this complicate matters? If you have a US passport yes you can come in on a visit visa then go onto your Husbands visa You need to get your marriage certificate attested and translated I beleive in the country that you married in, once done you also get it done at the UAE embassy here. Your Husbands company PRO may be assist for the UAE attestation part Most schools prefer candidates who are their Husbands visa however local hire can mean a smaller salary and less benefits than an expat hire

So this may be a good time to switch to something different. Does anyone have any good recommendations? We recently bought Apple TV but still seems so unfamiliar and I would hate to feel that I don't have access to the main news channels (we don't really watch them daily but its nice to have them there if we decide to have a look at whats going on in the world). Thank you Ladies xx You can access UK and US TV through IPad or Mac however you will need a VPN and a very high internet speed to stream the TV as it does tend to buffer on certain channels ( ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5) BBC remains unaffected

Our fantastic live In , long term nanny/housekeeper will marry next month at her embassy here. She is just been back to her home country but unfortunately her fiancé wasn't due leave so it will be a while before she can celebrate with her family there and have a church blessing . Any Ideas how we could acknowledge her celebration ? She has asked if I will take the children to the service which will be lovely but I'd like to do something else for them as a couple in the way of a gift or treat rather than money . Just a nice gesture really . My husband though a night in a hotel but I'm not sure they would be comfortable with that . I think that is lovely I did that for my friends wedding as they have a house/furniture etc and didn't want cash/presents I used http://hotelvouchershop.com/ I don't know if they have something like that here or in their own country
