Across Abu Dhabi, from the island communities of Saadiyat and Al Reem to the family villas of Khalifa City and Mohammed Bin Zayed City, homes run more smoothly with reliable domestic help.

Types of Domestic Workers Yalla Maids Provides in Abu Dhabi
Yalla Maids matches Abu Dhabi families with the type of help that fits as per the client’s requirement. Every worker is vetted and comes with unlimited free replacements until the fit is right.
- Live-In Maid
A vetted maid who stays at the family home and supports daily cleaning, cooking and care within UAE rest-hour rules. A live-in maid suits larger villas in areas like Khalifa City.
- Live-Out Maid
Dependable daytime help that arrives for set hours then returns to separate accommodation. A live-out maid is an easy fit for apartments in Al Reem Island with no spare room.
- Nanny
Trained childcare help focused on children, with clear role boundaries agreed before placement and a visa filed under the nanny designation.
- Driver
A vetted private driver for the school run, errands and daily travel across Abu Dhabi, placed on a two-year visa with the same online process as a maid.

How to Hire a Domestic Worker in Abu Dhabi
Yalla Maids helps Abu Dhabi families in two ways, both handled online without an office visit. Most families hire a fully sponsored maid and leave the paperwork behind. Families who already have a maid can instead have just her visa processed.
Hire a Fully Sponsored Maid
When a family hires a maid through Yalla Maids, the maid stays under the Yalla Maids sponsorship. The family does not deal with the visa, the insurance, the salary or the legal side, because all of it sits with the agency. Pre-vetted maids are ready for quick deployment, which lets a family hire a maid in Abu Dhabi without an office visit and leave the rest to the team.
- Choose from pre-vetted maid profiles by experience and skills
- The maid is sponsored by Yalla Maids, not by the family
- Visa, health insurance and WPS payroll are all handled by the agency
- Zero legal liability for the family, including insurance and runaway cases
- No government visits, no Ejari and no paperwork for the family
- Cancel anytime, with unlimited free replacements until the fit is right
Already Have a Maid? Yalla Maids Can Handle Her Visa
If a family already has a maid and only needs her on a legal visa, Yalla Maids processes the full two-year maid visa online. The medical, Emirates ID, insurance and payroll are all arranged, without a single office visit.
Do Domestic Workers in Abu Dhabi Need a Visa?
Yes. Every domestic worker in Abu Dhabi must be on a valid residency visa. Employing anyone without one is against the law. The visa keeps the family compliant, gives the worker health insurance and a proper contract, and puts the salary on an approved payroll channel.
With Yalla Maids the worker stays on the agency visa throughout the contract. The family sponsors the help without taking on the renewals or the legal liability that come with direct sponsorship.
Rights and Rules for Domestic Workers in the UAE
UAE law under the federal framework sets out clear protections for every domestic worker. Yalla Maids builds each one into a placement from day one.
- A written employment contract that states the role and the salary
- Daily rest hours and a weekly day off
- Paid annual leave and end-of-service benefits
- Health insurance for the length of the visa
Salary is paid on time through the WPS payroll system, which keeps every transfer on record and protects both the family and the worker.
