50% monthly commission

Agencies

You pay more, your nanny earns less, and the best carers always move on.

The Agency Tax

Most agencies charge ongoing monthly commissions on top of your nanny's salary, for as long as she works for you. Families pay more. Nannies take home less.

Zero security

Facebook & Forums

Fake profiles, scammers, outdated posts. No way to know who's real.

No filter. No vetting.

Outdated posts. Fake profiles. Scammers. Nannies who found jobs weeks ago. Once you post, your feed floods. No filtering, no verification, no way to know who's actually free right now.

Why choose Yaya?

Four ways families
get stuck.

How Yaya Works
Weeks of uncertainty

Communities

Everyone will 'check with someone.' Nobody ever delivers.

Still waiting?

You ask everyone you know. They'll "check with someone." Weeks pass. Work, school runs and daily life keep moving while you wait for a lead that may never come.

Outdated listings

Classifieds

You message dozens of profiles only to find many are inactive or already hired.

WHO'S ACTUALLY AVAILABLE?

On many classified platforms, there's little visibility into whether profiles are still active or even searching. Families can spend days chasing replies from candidates who moved on long ago.

The Yaya way

Most nanny platforms treat families like a transaction. We don't.

Agencies pick for you. When it fails, they send someone new. Yaya helps you build something that lasts.

Why Families Trust Yaya to Find a Nanny in Bahrain

Four promises we don't break.

Every carer on Yaya has been reviewed before their profile goes live. These are the four commitments we hold ourselves to:

01

Real human care

Always a real person, never a bot or a ticket number. Our UAE-based team knows your file and replies in minutes, seven days a week.

Avg. response time under 10 minutes

Meet the team →

02

Quality, not quantity

We turn away more nannies than we accept. The ones who make it have the experience, references, and temperament you'd want for your own kids.

Less than half of applicants make it onto Yaya

Our hiring standards →

03

Verified by humans and AI

Every caregiver is checked twice: once by AI for documents and red flags, and once by a person who actually speaks to her. No exceptions.

5-step verification on every profile

How we verify →

04

Transparent value

One subscription. No placement fees, no commissions, no surprises in month three. You pay Yaya for the platform and your nanny directly, in full.

AED 129/week. Cancel anytime.

See pricing →

05

Yaya. Built to last

Most agency placements end within a year. The average Yaya nanny stays more than three, because you chose her, you pay her fairly, and we're here if anything shifts.

Avg. placement length: 3+ years

Why placements last →

A game changer for finding helpers! The subscription gave me access to a wide range of nannies with helpful videos and filters to narrow my search. Within 1 week, I found the perfect fit for our family. Yaya made the process simple and stress-free. I highly recommend it

A Trustworthy and Seamless Way to Find the Perfect Nanny. I recently used Yaya to find a nanny, and the experience was extremely positive. I've been recommending the app to anyone looking for a trustworthy profile. The navigation is smooth and user-friendly, and each nanny has a very detailed profile. It's clear that a thorough screening process takes place behind the scenes, which gives you real reassurance about the people you're considering meeting. The filtering system is also very effective, helping you narrow down your search to profiles that truly match your needs. Overall, a great job done behind the scenes. I highly recommend Yaya if you're on the hunt for the perfect nanny.

YAYA has been so helpful in our nanny search! We have found such a great pool of candidates. The pre screening is really helpful and we appreciate the fact that we can exchange on the app without exchanging numbers. The app is super user friendly with great recommendations. First time we are satisfied with a platform and there is nothing like it. Highly recommend!
