Vetted household staff · United Arab Emirates


How vetting works

Nine people apply for every one we list. This is what happens in between, in the order it happens.

01

She applies

Anyone can apply. There is no fee, and there never will be — not to apply, not to be listed, not when she is hired.

The application asks for her documents, her work history, and two previous employers we may call. Nothing is published at this stage; a draft profile is visible only to her and to us.

02

We check her documents

We sight the original passport and match it against the name and date of birth on file. We confirm residency status through the Emirates ID and visa.

Visa status is then recorded on the profile exactly as it is — including cancelled visas and visit visas. A platform that hides this is not saving anyone trouble, it is moving the trouble to the week you try to sponsor someone.

03

We call two references

We telephone two previous employers ourselves. Not a form they filled in and she carried — a call we made, to a number we verified.

We ask about the work, the household, and whether they would employ her again. What they tell us goes into her file, not onto her public profile.

04

We interview her in person

A structured interview covering experience, temperament, language, and the work she actually enjoys — which is not always the work she is best at, and both are worth knowing.

Where she consents, we record a short video introduction. It is free for any family to watch, member or not.

05

Medical clearance

The standard domestic-worker medical, arranged through our licensed partner.

06

Only then is she listed

All five checks must be complete before a profile can go live. That is enforced in the database, not by a person remembering — a profile that has not passed every check cannot be published even by us.

After listing, families with a membership can see her contact details and message her directly. Contract, medical and visa are then handled by a MOHRE-licensed Tadbeer centre, as UAE law requires.
