A household in Ho Man Tin, in Kowloon City District, is looking for a live-in Filipino domestic helper. The main duty is caring for a 3.5-year-old girl, and the helper would share her room. The helper would also assist with the care of the family’s 17-year-old son, who has special needs and is fed through a G-tube.
The listing is more detailed about the family’s situation than most helper adverts, which is useful. It also leaves out the things that matter most to any applicant: salary, contract length, accommodation details and the exact days off. Anyone considering the role will need to settle those directly. The listing was posted on Jobsdb Hong Kong about 11 days before this information was collected, and it names a start in October or November 2026, so confirm the position is still open before applying.

What Does This Job Involve?
The role has two parts. The primary duty is looking after a 3.5-year-old daughter. At that age a child typically needs help with meals, dressing, washing, play and bedtime routines, and she may still need close supervision throughout the day. The listing does not give her schedule, so those details are an expectation from the child’s age, not something the family has stated. The helper would also share her room, so the job extends into nights and early mornings in a way a day-time nanny role would not.
The second part is helping care for the 17-year-old son, who has special needs and is fed through a G-tube. A G-tube is a feeding tube placed through the abdomen into the stomach, so feeding is done with specific equipment and a careful routine rather than at the table. The listing only mentions feeding. It does not say whether the role includes medication, mobility help, personal care or therapy support, so those should not be assumed either way.
Because the household has three helpers, the work is shared. The listing does not say how the tasks are divided or whether housework, cooking or other duties are part of this position.
Key Responsibilities
- Caring for the 3.5-year-old daughter: this is stated as the main duty. It matters because it is the core of the job and the reason for the room-sharing arrangement.
- Helping care for the 17-year-old son: the listing specifically names G-tube feeding. The word “help” suggests the helper supports his care and may not be the only person responsible, but that is an interpretation.
- Working as part of a team of three helpers: coordination with the other two helpers is implied. How shifts and tasks are split is not specified.
Who Is This Job Suitable For?
Stated requirements:
- Filipino domestic helper
- Middle East work experience (required); Hong Kong experience is a plus
- Special-needs experience is a plus, not a must
- Personal qualities listed: patient, hardworking, honest, cheerful, good hygiene, willing to learn
Practical qualities that may help (these are not employer requirements):
- Comfort caring for a young child and sharing a bedroom with her
- Willingness to learn a medical feeding routine and follow instructions exactly
- Calm, steady temperament, since the household includes both a toddler and a teenager with ongoing care needs
- Ability to work in a team with two other helpers
This job may suit someone who has worked abroad as a domestic helper, enjoys childcare and is open to learning care tasks. It may be less suitable for anyone who is uncomfortable with medical feeding equipment or who wants a household where they are the sole helper.
Requirements Explained
Middle East work experience required. This is an unusual requirement for a Hong Kong job, and the listing does not explain it. It may mean the family wants a helper who is already used to live-in work in a similar setting, but that is a guess. Hong Kong experience is only a plus.
Special-needs experience is a plus. Applicants without it can still apply. Since the listing includes G-tube feeding, ask what training the family will provide.
Filipino helper. A nationality preference is stated.
Education, age limits and language requirements are not specified in the available listing. Right to work and visa arrangements are not mentioned.
Salary and Benefits
Salary is not specified in the available listing. Benefits, food, medical insurance, flights and contract bonuses are not mentioned either. Do not assume any of them.
Hong Kong has government rules on foreign domestic helpers’ pay, covering a minimum allowed wage. Check the current figure with the Hong Kong Labour Department or Immigration Department before discussing pay, and make sure any offer meets it.
Working Hours and Conditions
The listing gives no daily hours or break times. The only schedule detail is that the day off is Friday, Saturday or Sunday. It is not clear whether the helper chooses the day or the family does, or whether it is the only rest day each week.
It is a live-in position, and the helper would share the 3.5-year-old’s room. The listing does not describe a separate sleeping space, so applicants should ask about privacy and sleeping arrangements. A shared room with a toddler may mean being on hand at night.
Location and Commute
The job is in Ho Man Tin, Kowloon City District. As this is a live-in role, daily commuting does not apply, but the listing does not describe the home or give a full address. Day-off travel is something you would arrange yourself.
Application Process
The listing asks you to send a WhatsApp message to the number it displays. On the page the number appears partly masked, so check the original Jobsdb listing for the full contact. The message should contain:
- A short introduction
- Your age
- Your work experience
- When you can start
The listing includes a Jobsdb page link: https://hk.jobsdb.com/job/95155675. It does not mention an application form or email.
How to Prepare Your Application
Since the family asks for a short WhatsApp introduction, keep it brief and clear.
- Lead with your Middle East experience, since it is the required item. Give the country, years and the type of household.
- Describe your childcare work, including the ages of children you cared for.
- Mention any special-needs or tube-feeding experience if you have it, in simple terms. If you do not, say you are willing to learn and ask about training.
- State your start date clearly, because the family wants someone from October or November 2026.
- Give your age, as requested.
Do not claim experience you do not have, especially with medical care.
Before You Apply
- Confirm the position is still open, since it was posted about 11 days before collection.
- Ask for the monthly salary and confirm it meets the Hong Kong requirement.
- Check who the actual employer is, as the listing names a company but describes a family.
- Ask what the G-tube feeding duties involve and what training is provided.
- Confirm your right to work and who arranges the visa and flights.
Questions to Ask the Employer
- What is the monthly salary, and is it paid on a fixed date?
- Who is the contract employer, and will a standard Hong Kong domestic helper employment contract be used?
- What are the daily working hours, and when are the rest breaks?
- Will you receive training for the G-tube feeding, and who will supervise?
- Which day off is it each week, and is it fixed?
- What are the sleeping arrangements, given the shared room with the daughter?
International / Overseas Applicants
The listing does not say who handles the visa, whether the helper would be hired from overseas or already in Hong Kong, or who pays for flights. Do not assume any of these. If you are outside Hong Kong, confirm the full arrangements in writing before making travel plans or resigning from another job.
Scam & Application Safety
Because this application is by WhatsApp rather than a Jobsdb form, check the details more carefully than usual.
- Compare the contact number against the original Jobsdb listing, not a forwarded copy.
- Be wary of anyone who asks for money before you are hired, such as a placement or “processing” fee. Hong Kong law limits what agencies can charge domestic helpers, so check the current rules with the Labour Department.
- Do not share bank or credit card details when applying, as Jobsdb’s own notice says.
- Ask for the employment terms in writing, including salary, duties and days off, before accepting.
Editorial View
The listing is open about the children’s care needs, which is a good sign for transparency. A job with a toddler, a teenager with special needs and two other helpers may also offer a team setting rather than a lone-helper arrangement. The family says special-needs experience is not a must, which opens the role to a wider group.
The caution points are the missing pay and hours, the shared bedroom and the medical feeding responsibility. The requirement for Middle East experience is also narrow, and the employer’s identity is unclear. This role will suit an experienced, patient helper who is comfortable learning a care routine. It may not suit someone who wants clearly defined hours, private living space or purely childcare duties. The right way to judge it is to get the missing terms confirmed in writing first.
