Tadbeer services are created to help families in the UAE legally and safely hire domestic workers, such as maids and nannies. These centers offer structured and government-approved ways to bring household help.
But many families make mistakes during the process. These mistakes can lead to delays, extra charges, or even legal trouble.
In this blog, we’ll explore the most common errors and how you can avoid them when dealing with Tadbeer services.
1. Not Understanding the Different Tadbeer Packages
Why It’s a Problem
Tadbeer centers offer several types of packages. Some are short-term, others are long-term. Each comes with different costs, visa support, and responsibilities.
Many families rush into the process without knowing what they are paying for. This often leads to choosing the wrong package.
What You Should Do
Always ask for a clear explanation of each package.
Check what is included—medical tests, visa, flight costs, and replacement policy.
Choose a package that matches your needs—especially if you need full-time or part-time help.
2. Not Reading the Fine Print
Why It’s a Problem
Tadbeer contracts have detailed terms. Some families skip reading the full document. This can cause confusion later, especially about replacement policies, fees, or renewal terms.
What You Should Do
- Take time to read the agreement before signing.
- Ask questions about anything you don’t understand.
- Keep a copy of the signed contract for future reference.
3. Expecting Instant Placement
Why It’s a Problem
Some families think they will get a domestic worker right away. But depending on the package or country of origin, it can take days or weeks.
Impatience leads to switching agencies or paying more for faster service.
What You Should Do
- Ask for the average processing time before choosing a package.
- If you need urgent help, ask for an on-demand or in-country option.
- Be prepared to wait if you choose overseas hiring.
4. Ignoring Cultural Fit and Language Skills
Why It’s a Problem
Some workers may not speak your language or understand your home culture. This leads to daily misunderstandings or work-related tension.
What You Should Do
- Tell the Tadbeer center about your preferred language.
- Ask if you can meet or speak to the maid before final hiring.
- Set expectations early and offer training if needed.
5. Failing to Set Clear Work Expectations
Why It’s a Problem
Families sometimes assume that the maid knows what to do. Without clear guidance, daily tasks may not be done as expected.
This creates frustration on both sides.
What You Should Do
- Make a daily and weekly task list.
- Explain your routines and cleaning methods on Day 1.
- Give feedback kindly, especially in the first few weeks.
6. Not Asking About Replacement Policy
Why It’s a Problem
Sometimes, the hired person is not a good fit. It could be due to health, behavior, or skill mismatch.
Families that don’t ask about the replacement policy may end up stuck or paying again.
What You Should Do
- Ask if there’s a free replacement period (often 6 months).
- Know what reasons qualify for a replacement.
- Report issues early to the Tadbeer center.
7. Confusing Private Sponsorship with Tadbeer Services
Why It’s a Problem
Some families try to switch between private sponsorship and Tadbeer packages without knowing the rules.
This can cause legal issues or extra costs during visa cancellation or renewal.
What You Should Do
- Decide early if you want Tadbeer to manage everything or only some parts.
- Know that changing from Tadbeer to private sponsorship takes approval.
- For safer handling, many choose to stay within Tadbeer Dubai services due to government oversight.
8. Skipping Follow-Up After Hiring
Why It’s a Problem
Some families assume everything will go smoothly after the worker arrives. They don’t follow up with the Tadbeer center or the maid.
It may culminate into unaddressed problems or delays in paperwork.
What You Are To Do
- Contact Tadbeer center after 1-2 weeks.
- This can be done by asking the maid whether she feels comfortable and is aware of the job.
- Be well aware of any renewal dates or medical checks.
Smart Hiring of Home Security
Domestic hiring must be safer and smooth with the help of Tadbeer services. The only thing is that families must be informed and alert.
When planning to hire, do not rush in the process, ask questions, read the documents and select the appropriate package.
These are some of the errors you should avoid so that you will have a better working relationship with your domestic help. Even being new in Dubai and living here is long enough, a bit of care can guarantee mind peace later.
