Types of Domestic Workers Yalla Maids Provides
Yalla Maids matches families with the type of help that fits how they live, then arranges the visa for it. 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 homes with a spare room.
- 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 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, placed on a two-year visa with the same online process as a maid.

Do Domestic Workers in the UAE Need a Visa?
Yes. Every domestic worker in the UAE 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.
