Part-time maid in Riyadh: your options
Last updated: November 2026
In Riyadh, part-time or hourly maids are legally supplied by licensed domestic labour companies registered with Musaned, and you book them by the hour or month. If you need help most days, hiring your own full-time maid directly is usually cheaper over a year: Saudi Nanny and Maid lists candidates you can contact from SAR 299.
Your three options
| Option | How it works | Best for |
|---|
| Hourly maid | Booked from a licensed company, paid per visit | Cleaning once or twice a week |
| Monthly maid | A licensed company supplies a worker for a monthly fee | Short periods, Ramadan, a new baby |
| Your own maid | You sponsor her or take her transfer through Musaned | Daily help for a year or more |
Key facts for 2026
- Legal rule: a domestic worker may only work for her own sponsor or through a licensed provider. Do not hire someone on another family's sponsorship for extra hours.
- Database access: SAR 299, 375 or 449 for 1, 3 or 5 months.
- Part-time nannies: after-school or evening childcare follows the same rules.
When full-time hiring works out cheaper
Monthly maid services include the company's margin. If you need help five or more days a week for a year, a maid on your own sponsorship usually costs less overall and stays with the same family. Our maid in Riyadh page explains direct hiring.
